bare ass savages

BARE ASS SAVAGES

Today, I would like to talk about how overblown the egos of survivalists are.  You might not think this is very important, but of course as always I disagree.  A little thing called hubris is currently seeing to an entire empire being dismantled ( that’s ours by the way, and Lucas warned every single kid of the time of this, to which exactly zero took the lesson to heart.  Thanks, George, for making the thing so sparkly and glittery that we were struck dumb in appreciation and delved no deeper than the surface ). 

*

If you are so enamored with yourself that you cannot see how overblown and dysfunctional you are, you end up like modern Italians who thought they were the Legions reborn yet couldn’t invade and conquer Greece.  How embarrassing is that?  They should have stayed battling darkies in Northern Africa and the Horn.  But they thought they were Da Bomb, didn’t they? 

*

( the Japanese had a similar near hopeless situation logistically as the Italians did.  A small country without its own energy supply.  Look how well the one did compared to the other.  Like the Germans, the Japanese have a culture of stubbornness, anal compulsive behavior and perfectionism.  This was a necessary replacement for abundance.  The Italians had no similar saving grace, content to slurp on pasta and spaghetti sauce and espresso’s.  What more proof do you need on the poisonous properties of tomatoes? )

*

Just like Americans think they have the worlds best military and yet cannot defeat a few opium farmers ( after drought became pretty steady there, wheat fields were turned into opium as a water saving measure and wheat imported.  You can bet the boots on the ground made little money regardless of the upstream profits.  To the farmers, it was just a superior crop ) who were weakened after decades of war.  I mean, think about it.  The Soviets financially crashed their empire bombing Afghanistan for a decade, and we STILL can’t defeat them militarily.  I guess when the Yankee military has to fight an opponent more able than a starving Alabama farmers widow or a tiny woman picking rice in a paddy they have a pretty hard time ( not indicative of you grunts, but of your leadership ).

*

That is hubris, the belief that despite all the evidence you are indeed The Cat’s Meow or The Bees Knees.  That is like a Hollywood star confusing his character with his own abilities and looking beyond stupid.  Our military is at that Hollywood stage of disbelief.  Are you going to be this retarded?  So, look, let’s REALLY dig down into this survivalist gig we have constructed.  We put pretty sparkly unicorn glitter on it, congratulating ourselves on our achievements, which on the face of it are amazing but ONLY in relation to worse performers.

*

Financially, survivalism is really no great burden.  I’ve spent more on books than I have on prepping ( even including the land ).  And I’m only super delicious wonderful compared to the average prepper who cannot see past the need to stockpile a months worth of camping supplies ( they might spend more, but they get so much less ).  If you cannot swing junk land and wheat, with a decent weapon three times cheaper by average ditch digger wages than when they were first manufactured, plus put a decent stockpile of average needed goods aside, on three months gross minimum wage,  I can’t believe the human race as a species would be better off with your genetic material.

*

You’ll spend two years gross income ( minimum wage ) on a motor vehicle that is dependent on a diminishing oil supply, PLUS an amount nearly equal to that to run and insure and repair that vehicle, but you won’t spend three months wages to never pay rent again, to be well armed the rest of your life, to have five years of food storage and to insure against retail supply chain disruptions?  Don’t you see how easy it is to prep, financially?

*

But even THAT isn’t the worst of the embarrassment.  FAR, far worse is the utter banality of everything you think is difficult to achieve.  Third World peasants do everything you only dream about, every day, with no education, lower intelligence ( I might over assume, but will equate your job and wage with higher than normal IQ.  Not to suggest peasants are stupid, just that all things being equal the top of the American food chain if not plugged into the graft and parasitic loop SHOULD denote increased intelligence ) and little effort.

*

Peasant stock grains as a matter of course.  They don’t run down to the corner market for a ten pound bag of rice every time they need it.  They buy in bulk as grain is their primary calorie source and the majority have larger families.  Yet we think nothing of burning fuel instead of stockpiling food as our daily means of eating, and make it seem so impossible to stock any meaningful amount of calories.  Peasants have better food stockpiles than these rich pampered Yuppies, who somehow think a $50k vehicle and a $300k house will feed them. 

*

Peasants not piled chockablock atop each other in a city ghetto usually plant a garden in their front yard.  All that grain needs added vitamins and variety.  They don’t have money to piss away on something so simple and fundamental as vegetables.  That would be like telling them they can’t walk down to the river and get water, or into the forest to gather firewood.  It is so NOT a big deal to them, and yet an American presents himself as the second coming of Buddha for having somehow managed to cultivate a few edible plants.  Then, promptly confuses a vitamin plant with a calories plant.  How much more removed from reality can you get?

*

We have all the money in the world, along with no common sense.  All the trophies of empire, with no skills for surviving outside of it.  Those few who after great struggle and strain manage to piss away boatloads of money duplicating free activities then believe themselves to be invincible.  Just think about what penniless peasants do, daily, and compare that to how much you are prepared to be penniless.  Not a pretty picture, is it?
