stay in your hole

STAY IN YOUR HOLE

You all know how I feel about Christmas.  A pagan holiday celebrating the last feed trough gluttony prior to dying off over winter ( or at the very least, eating storage food slop ), hijacked by the Papist for non-religious reasons, and bent over and violated by our Consumerist Economy, the holiday blows monkey testicles.  Then, to add insult to injury, you have to pretend to like your family!  Blech!  That said, I tried to enjoy myself and celebrate the fact I no longer am working for The Worlds Worst Boss, Including Those From All Corporations Everywhere AND The American Military Officer Corpse. 

*

And the best gift I got was a lightweight wooden sign ( homemade ) that said “Jim’s Hole”.  After moving in with the NOL, one of the first things I did was misappropriate the spare bedroom for my needs.  I used that for my writing and filled all the spaces with food and prep storage ( the food is Daily Use ).  Whenever we are sniping at each other ( all in good fun-we both have dry senses of humor ), she’ll tell me to “go to your hole”.  The room is a bit small, more like a guest or kids bedroom, about 6x8, and you do get the sense it is a hole in the wall.

*

Other places are similarly “holes”, albeit either Holes Into The Lower Bowels Of Hell or Holes Of Despair.  Like cities.  And we talk a LOT, probably too much, but we might as well get all the talking in while the Internet is still up and running or at least affordable, about whether The Golden Horde will come streaming out of their holes to attack us en masse.  Obviously, I don’t think so, or I wouldn’t be telling you it was okay to just be content with the smallest city you can find and a paid off piece of junk land as close to that as possible, and not to be putting too much emphasis on the far flung rural retreat.

*

But yesterday we talked about Hollywood and its century long propaganda machine directed at Rural folk and I’d like to talk about that in relation to The Golden Horde ( and I’ll just say here that nothing is guaranteed in life and I could be wrong.  All this chicken entrails reading is just trying to assign probabilities ).  After all that hate filled entertainment, urbans are conditioned to fear and hence hate all rurals.  If/when they flee the cities they have already made up their minds to kill you.  I’m not saying that was the intent all along.  The intent was to make more money off everyone and city living is more costly and far more filled with consumerism.

*

But the knock off effects are ease of control by the elite, and another Divide And Conquer technique.  And this has unintended consequences.  Just as being too Woman’s Libber will get you killed very quickly ( “me strong, independent woman-hear me roar!  Me Princess Warrior!  Me fight men on my own!  What the…?  Crap, no!!  Ahhhhh, cough, choke…” ), feeling superior over others on demand is not going to end well because of hubris ( hello?  Anyone?  How is that Afghan guerrilla war going for you? ).

*

That doesn’t necessarily mean urbans will come after you.  Look, I’m very comfortable in nature.  I spent my whole youth out there amusing myself.  That said, for me there is one kind of nature and that is desert.  At most, add in Alpine.  I like dry and cold.  Put me in the jungle ( yeh, I know-no idea what I was thinking moving to Florida long ago ) and after looking around in panic for gator or giant snakes attacking me, I’d probably have a heart attack and die.  Put me within reasonable walking distance of water in the desert, I’m comfortable.  I’m not overly fond of scorpions or spiders, but I can, mostly, deal.  You wouldn’t get me into the swamp voluntarily though.

*

Don’t you think the same applies to urban folk?  Me and you, we fear the city.  Only bad things happen there.  We KNOW this for a fact.  And we weren’t raised on a diet of Rural Fear Porn.  How do you think urbans feel about the country?  This is obviously not a new thought on my part.  I’m stealing that from another’s writing.  I’m just tying together Hollywood and our predominant economic paradigm to it.  The city folk have no reason NOT to fear rural areas and rural people.  That is what they’ve been told their whole life, and what they feel in their bones ( and I’d wager the urban/rural divide is far more ancient and goes back thousands of years as the Agriculture Age was pounded into everyone’s skull ).

*

This doesn’t make you safe, just Safer.  There will always be Outliers.   It just doesn’t make you automatically dead because you are not several hundred miles away from the city.  Few cars will reach you because nobody is going to sit peacefully around waiting to decide to leave the city.  They will be driving around first to find food and ice.  Most gas tanks will be low before the majority of folks leave, then they will promptly cause a huge traffic jam as just a few cars stall, without fuel.  You saw what the roads looked like, just on a workday Monday from viewing the Eclipse.

*

And for everyone thinking about leaving the city, the home they worked their entire lives for, there is doubt enough.  Is this crisis going to pass?  Most folks will go with that one.  For those not sure, subconsciously there is the images from all those anti-rural films.  Most of us get most of our information from moving pictures.  You don’t consume tens thousands of hours of marketing men Madison Avenue creations without being influenced to some degree ( watch a few YouTube videos by History Buff as he debunks a lot of movie falsehoods, and you’ll see how uncritically you’ve accepted so much propaganda ).

*

I think way more than expected will stay in their holes, but those leaving will be more dangerous than we give them credit for because of their emotional view ( not a rational one ) of rurals.

I’m not sure if I’ll continue with this or not.  If not now, perhaps another time.
