Kurt Saxon (1932–2021) was a survivalist crank. He was among the most prolific writers on the subject and even claimed to have come up with the word. Like many outspoken survivalists, he was quite insane, and a bit of a racist.

History as a loser

Saxon was born "Donald Eugene Sisco" on 6 March 1932, and has managed to be in enough crank organizations to fill every sanitarium in the US, including the American Nazi Party, the early Minutemen, the Church of Scientology, Satanism, and the John Birch Society.

Saxon managed to keep his head on straight long enough to (and you cannot make this up) testify before Congress in 1970, proving that not only were the 60's a terrible time for America, but that the government under Tricky Dick was not that fond of all the []liberal]]s running around. To demonstrate his sheer insanity, Saxon had a transcript of his testimony on his website. In it, he advocated for police and private citizens using bombs to kill leftists, and for college protesters to be dispersed with machine gun fire.

Activities as a loser

Most of what Saxon did in his early years as a raging looney was to reprint out-of-date magazines and public domain books (such as military instructional manuals and antiquated reference books with lapsed copyrights) into books about home projects in chemistry, electricity, and similar subjects, imaginatively titled "Granddad's Wonderful World of Chemistry". He had been writing about the imminent end of civilization, which he calls "Disneyland for dummies," since the early 1970s. To vent his insanity, he also wrote a few books on improvised weaponry and ran a short-lived magazine called The Survivor. When the militia movement was popular in the early 1990s, he started another short-lived magazine called U.S. Militia.

He had written a dozen books about survivalism and paramilitary crap, including improvised weapons and poison making but also less insane things like how to slash food budgets.

Insane views

His social views amounted to saying that civilization is evil because it dares to allow the not physically strong and/or healthy to survive, and when civilization finally gets around to collapsing (for various reasons that never make sense) only those with practical knowledge will survive.

He was also a bit of a racist, and has some naughty things to say about Islam, including that it has a violent agenda.

He was also pro-abortion and was an atheist.
