cause and effect

CAUSE AND EFFECT

Once again I weep at the fragile efforts of my fellow blog writers, trapped in repeating endlessly the myths and ancient ponderings of those they blindly follow.  I’ve run into several articles recently on The Reason The Collapse Is Just Around The Corner And I Implore Thee In The Name Of Baby Jesus To Buy Through My Advertisers And Prepare Right Friggin Now.  Now, there is absolutely no reason to disregard this, because as I’ve snarled and got lippy about before, you need to act like the collapse was going to happen yesterday, not tomorrow.  Just like prepping during the Cold War assumed the evil commie bastards ( kill a commie for mommy! ) could launch immediately and there was zero time to prep, so too  today you never know just when the economy is going to go off the rails and your paycheck dries up and the sheriffs deputies evict you at 3 am with a SWAT team  and you have zero time to prep ( and this is the best that can happen in the future ).  No, what I have a problem with as far as these articles go is the sloppy thinking.  They take symptoms of the collapse and use it as a reason the collapse is going to happen.  There is an implied escape clause there, as if we could all just join hands and forgive each other for being an asshat, the collapse would never occur.  Sloppy thinking leads to sloppy assumptions and those lead to death or being in the stewpot.

You know the lists I’m talking about.  We have moved away from God.  We have abandoned the traditional family unit.  We have become unmindful of our neighbors.  These are the causes of resource depletion and over-population.  In times of plenty everyone acts like sunshine pours out of their fellow man’s ass, but in times of scarcity it is every man for himself.  This is human nature.  It is hardwired.  You can’t change it even if everyone suddenly started going to church.  Hell, that would make it worse as the mobs were given permission to smite each other.  The fact that traditional values have been abandoned is proof positive we are in a collapse.  Use this as validation to act accordingly.  Which mainly means, as our wise old Uncle Remus says, getting the hell away from crowds.  I’d add it means giving up the traditional values you hold dear but others use as an excuse to screw you.  Such as helping out family when all they are doing is humping you ( yes, I’m guilty ).  Or believing in the sanctity of marriage as your spouse just uses you.  I’m not saying act as poorly as all the rest, you just need to act LIKE them even if you don’t act AS BADLY.  You don’t have to give up living honorably,  you just need to stop treating some people that way.  Not everyone deserves your efforts.  Just food for thought.
