prepping for an economic collapse gets you on a tv show with millions of wannabe fans.

Meanwhile protesting economic injustice gets you a police beating and media derision.

Its also not clear just how much of a Doomsday prepper she was. What I have seen does not mark her as a serious one. The European media is pressing that much harder than the US outlets. Salacious sells in all markets.
