NY Rat:

The cruel and antisocial remark was not about the emergency that might arise, but my response to individuals that ridicule my beliefs and then expect me to help them in their hour of need.

Example:

An emergency arises.

Someone I don't know from Adam isn't prepared and has never considered being prepared winds up in an emergency situation. I am there also, I will help them as best I can.

Someone I don't know from Adam has expressed disdain for my mindset (to me or in general.) regarding various emergencies I try to prepare for finds themselves in such an emergency. I am there also and capable of helping them. I will not help them! If the lesson to them results in discomfort, damage, or their death, so be it. That is the part that may seem cruel or antisocial to many of you.

Now if the same person is someone I know and care about, it would be very hard to refuse helping them even if they have shown disdain for my positions and I hope to never have to be tested in my resolve by friends or strangers.
