BLACK APACHE 4
*Note: I'll have a Saturday post. Nothing exciting, just a couple of reviews originally intended as an alternate ad for inclusion into my monthly magazine but once completed soundly rejected as an asinine concept by myself. Mainly, I'm including them here so as to unclutter my to-post file. Enjoy it, reject it, ignore it, whatever.
*
Don’t confuse a survival trait and a profit motive being separate. Because humans are wired to think along
tribal lines, any activity that mimics a survival trait can be engaged in even
in times of plenty. Just because we were
not in a collapse didn’t mean separate tribes were not exploited, destroyed,
tortured or starved all for a further farthing.
Which is my main point. If people
will kill you for profit, they sure as hell are going to kill you to survive
during a collapse. Old people, children,
pregnant women, it didn’t matter. Man’s
thinking was no less progressive during those historic atrocities, the
difference was merely a lack of surplus compared to now. Most people can live in decadent luxury now,
unlimited heat or cool, unlimited food, unlimited entertainment ( unlimited sex
seems to be the only “unlimited” yet to be achieved and I don’t see scientific
advancement ever getting to robotic pleasure models ). Only the truly wacko still engage in the old
atrocities. But come severe energy
contraction, atrocity for profit is back.
Given enough energy decline, atrocities are just survival.
*
Europeans thought nothing of introducing a 90% fatality rate novel
disease to a new country, coming ashore with grapeshot and sword, rounding up
the survivors to be worked to death in a silver mine and bedding enough
surviving women to change the entire populations genetics. Just as today the price of a basket of
strawberries includes the unseen spoilage cost, a few centuries ago the price
of a slave took into account all the bodies that were dumped overboard in
transit, it being cheaper to replace the corpses than upgrade the
transportation ( provided at great profit by Yankee businessmen, NOT Southern
ones ). And don’t forget that Blacks
were the ones who captured Blacks to sell to Whites ( torture of enemies by
Indians can be explained by first, you sure as crap were motivated to fight
bravely and to the death rather than surrender and second, without long distant
transportation you couldn’t safely remove your prisoners far away and so you
simply didn’t take male captives ).
*
Even the most cursory study of Black slaves, Indian genocide, Venetian
wealth built on prisoners of war being sold as slaves to the middle east,
Stalin’s purges, Jews being worked in war factories with a scientifically
calculated inadequate diet, Mao’s political follies, Cambodian killing fields,
nuclear fallout studies on GI’s or thousands of other incidences should
convince the nicest guy that humans hate each other and will treat each other
poorly and when you try to buck the trend and do the right, moral, upstanding
thing, you just become a victim. If you
want to be treated like a Black slave or an Apache being starved on a
reservation, do nothing. You will feel
their pain soon enough. Or, be defensive
by being offensive ( both acting offensively morally and strategically ). Yes, the timing is tricky. But hey, who said survival would be easy (
besides the guy selling you an AR and cans of freeze dried Yak spleen )?

WHAT? My 42 cases of freeze dried Yak and my poodle shooter won't give me Baby Jesuses blessing and allow me to rule a kingdom after the collapse? Blasphemy I says, Blasphemy.
ReplyDeleteLove the hair!
What about the Irish slave trade? Sad thing is the Black slaves brought a higher dollar than Irish. The Irish slaves were more unruly and harder to control.
I hate the thought of where we are headed. It ain't good.
I don't believe I've come across the Irish slave trade info. Unless you mean the indentured servant angle.
Deleteirish sold into jamaica to work cane, et cetera.
DeleteTry googling it. 1600's I believe. I've only read a little bit of info on it myself. I'll see if I can find some good links but I'm sure you're already ahead of me.
DeleteYour article above about timing the 'offense' is spot on and topical to current events. Thus- the flood of "Muslim Refugees" (mostly military aged young men). They cant invade with sword and spear yet, but need to utilize the current superior transportation system while the petroleum holds out to preposition their future soldiers and relieve population pressure in their homelands.
ReplyDeleteA real colonizing threat in Europe. If we control ISIS and destabilize whole countries, we are unleashing the horde on Europe. To destabilize Europe? Muslims have been over breeding there forever. But now, the already established ghettos full of them are the bases for the new arrivals. Muslims in the US, still a boogeyman keeping the fake terrorist threat alive. I don't think the US has true established ghettos for a base of operations ( except for the White House ).
DeleteDearborn Mich. has one of those ghettos, supposedly there are also some in Mass and CA.
DeleteI agree that the Islamic threat of invasion of the USA is not likely. Far more likely the threat of Hispanic invasion from the south, our own native tribes revolting (indigenous Indians, and domesticated African imports, and politically/religiously extremes at either end of the spectrum). Other than a few tiny enclaves I don't expect Sharia law to take over before or during the collapse. Afterward remains possible though.
No, but they have a base cities to work from. Dearborn Michigan is one of them. I've heard it said that it has the highest population of Arabs outside of the ME. They may not be true anymore, but it's close. Dearborn Heights is also gaining in popularity. I have first hand experience here. The Muslim of America also have "camps" around the U.S. One in my BOL and I know of one where my Son in Law grew up. Mostly on welfare, and are not of ME descent, as a rule, but answer to cleric in Pakistan. Look up Islamburg and Islamaville.
DeleteA few links that I feel will be of some post apocalypse value James.
ReplyDeleteThe first is on take down survival bows. The author makes some good points. Some people are unable to legally purchase guns, and others might prefer to avoid the paper trail, and desire the added stealth factor.
The second link is on producing home made insulin. I thought that this might be of value to those with family members suffering from diabetes. The author doesn't sugar coat it (no pun intended) and makes it clear that short of being a chemistry major, most will not pull this off successfully. I didn't actually read the entire article, so I can't really say? But I thought that it might be of value to some here, and they should definitely print it out and archive it.

You are most excellent. Thanks for doing the foot work.
