Prepper communes

[Victor Steinbok]

Has "prepper" been on any recent WOTY list? I have no idea how old the
term is. With the explosion of information on "prepper commune" ("The
Citadel"), I was wondering if this is a "teabagger" type term that's
gone from inept self-description to mocking  -er. It certainly appears
that the term has been in use among survivalists for some time:

The Citadel is getting even more attention today because of last nights
The Daily Show rip.
