RELAX, FRANCIS

Remember one of the funniest movies of all time, “Animal House”?  The retard guy with the Poindexter glasses pipes up after the fraternity knows they are screwed after failing to maintain a suitable grade average ( and hence will be reported to the draft board as eligible ).  “Well, what the hell are we going to do now, ya Mo-Rons?”.  Funny because he’s calling other people a moron?  Seriously?  You’re not smiling right now, recalling the scene ( I could be off on the details-perhaps it was in another situation?  )?  What am I going to do with you people?  Okay, here’s another one.  Not as funny of a movie because it was with one of the many overrated cast of Saturday Night Live; “Stripes”.  The uptight guy, Francis,  is threatening bodily harm to all his basic training mates if they do anything to piss him off.  “Any of you homo’s touch my stuff, I’ll kill you!” “Any of you call me Francis, I‘ll kill you“.  The Drill Sergeant then calls him Francis, telling him to relax.

Folks have a hard time relaxing anymore, and I know I’m one of them.  At times I can get wound pretty tight.  Usually when I’m getting screwed over by someone and I can’t butt stroke them or bayonet them for fear of going to jail and getting probed.  I mean, sure, I understand.  If we were given permission to administer justice there wouldn’t be any indentured servants left to work for our masters.  Nor any straw bosses enforcing their masters dictates.  That doesn’t make it right that the deserving escape punishment.  And I’m certainly not telling you to NOT hold a grudge.  Hate keeps you warm ( “Red Dawn the original” since we are on movies right now ).  And hate allows you to hold on to the slightest bit of dignity after all the rectal licking, ass kissing, kowtowing and obsequious behavior you are forced to engage in.  And hate keeps you alert and ready ( I assume it is understood this is mostly directed at males.  We might be denied our warrior heritage due to the state mandate on the monopoly of violence, but you never forget your biology-you just need to keep channeling your true nature for when you can use it again ).

*

But even being stressed, uptight and hateful, you do need to learn how to relax once in awhile least you go insane or Postal.  As nice as it might be to deliver deserved comeuppances, it is unfortunately only a one time deal.  Then you end up in prison, and if you are a white boy, that is one place you need to try to stay out of.  You’d have a better chance of survival streaking naked through Harlem shouting the N-Bomb at the top of your lungs.  I used to be able to engage in one activity a day to relax and unwind ( after my drinking days.  The unfortunate issue with alcohol as a relaxant is that work and other people issues intrude on the process and before you know it your stress levels have increased ).  Then I had to keep adding to that as my stress just kept increasing ( and you thought being debt free with a part time job was relaxing-hell no!  It is MORE relaxing and there is LESS stress, but not proportionately ).

*

Now just reading and escaping reality won’t work.  Adding TV to relax the brain at night barely does anything.  It used to be writing was very helpful.  Then I needed to add cardio exercise.  Nowadays, I can ONLY relax while doing one of the above, but it does NOT carry over much past the active part of that time period I am engaged in the activity.  And now I’ve added another-rolling cigarettes.  I only started because I’m so sick of rich humpers passing more taxes on the poor working class I’ll go out of my way to avoid them if at all possible.  I’m happy to be working under the hours requiring the Obammy Health Care Tax.  I don’t care if it means I have very little disposable income.  And if I need to spend twenty minutes a day rolling cigarettes to keep $3 a week out of the hands of our douche bag governor, I’ll do it.  Perhaps not happily.  But as a matter of necessity.

*

I could spend more money on more equipment and spend just twenty minutes a week, but that defeats the purpose of keeping more of my money.  And, it has become another period of relaxation.  I laboriously weigh out all the tobacco, stuff it into tubes, pack the filter on the table to settle the leaves and then twist the surplus paper so nothing falls out later.  Boring.  And this is the exact same process I envision on reloading my ammunition.  All affordable, cheap equipment, the bare minimum, and spending a lot of time on each round.  Not only have I traded my time so as to not spend money, I’ve gained another relaxation activity.  I bring up the Lee Loader, and I get grief because all other presses churn out far more ammunition far more quickly.  But the important thing is not just learning to relax, but to learn how to replace our modern lifestyle in order to do so ( and yes, I’m aware that I consume a lot of Industrial Age items in my pursuit of relaxation-it is a necessary first step towards easing away from the hustle and bustle ).

*

If you think about almost everything we do, it is all about EVERYTHING we used to do for ourselves being turned into a consumer activity ( supported by more time at the job and more debt ).  And it isn’t as if there are any easy answers fighting against that.  For instance, just having a place of your own to be out of the bankers claws means in almost every state you pay insane property taxes that dictate you need at least a casual income to pay.  And if you work at any level of income that supports a family, and that property, you get sucked into the medical insurance system which now rivals-if not surpasses-the levels of taxation that collapsing Rome employed to drive its poor into serfdom or fleeing to barbarian held territory.  It is pretty darn scary how much we resemble that empire in decline.  So why should prepping be any different, right?  Don’t saw down that tree by hand-buy multiple chainsaws and all the parts and fuel and fuel accessories.  Don’t learn how to be a woodsman, buy semi-auto’s and buy enough ammunition to destroy your enemy wherever he is hiding there.  Being a Luddite doesn’t just mean rejecting ( or at least seriously minimizing ) Industrialism because it won’t last much longer but also because it gets you off the money-centric treadmill.
