Careful what you wish for. The average techie is a lot less prepared for rule of law to go out the window than the kind of people you're deriding are.

Techies are far more valuable in the post apocalyptic world than you think. When the initial bloodshed subsides, people will want rudimentary communication apps and networks to get back to the old days. Only techies can build to those standards.

In many cases “techies” and “those guys” are the same people.
