A hat tip to the commenting minion for this article idea.  The willingness to kill, and the general unwillingness to acknowledge this necessity.  This ties in with other articles on aggressiveness and offensive verses defensive mindsets.  The minion was noting that he had watched a video of two Brits discussing the movie “The Survivalist” ( not the cheesy 80’s movie available online that made TV movies look good in comparison, the new 2015 foreign film ).  One opined that the movie seemed to offer the lesson that “anyone surviving up to that point had to be willing to kill”.

*

Simple enough, right?  Well, like all theories it is indeed simple but also like all theories it never survives a collision with reality unchanged.  People SAY they understand, but that is like saying you understand how you must behave in a marriage.  The fact so many of those unions end in divorce tell me that no one really does in fact understand.  Granted, 75% or so of all marriages that end in divorce because the female wanted one, but let’s leave aside the financial reasons at this point as I’m trying to illustrate a point.  If 75% of 50% of marriages are a female cashing out, that means really that only a smidge over a third of marriages end from greed. 

*

The rest of the marriages are unions wherein the male is miserable and stuck or divorced from mutual agreement because of incompatibility.  We don’t understand bitches.  And we don’t understand the need to kill.  Why would you be willing to kill?  To save yourself, of course.  So why is it so complicated?  Because stasis is normal, and die-off is not.  Even now, fifty years into our energy collapse ( which is really more descriptive than an economic collapse ), we mostly seek stasis.  We do everything in our power to avoid change, even as preppers, even as we know the fracking oil is nearly at its end as a viable industry ( either financially or available resources to mine ), even as Peak Oil is over a decade in our rear view mirror.

*

Even during pre-dieoff systemic collapse, we all desperately cling to normalcy, and that includes the cultural agreement that killing is abnormal.  There are many rules and restrictions on killing.  The norm, 99.9% of the time, is to condone killing.  It is an aberration.  But during the time between the initial die-off’s and the restoration of order when a monopoly on force is once again granted, you need to be able to suspend the normal prohibition and be not just able but willing to kill. 

*

Humans do very well in denying themselves permission for behaviors that are too disruptive.  Even on a deserted island, regardless of the normal perception to repopulate that disasters bring on, we don’t practice incest.  Even if we are forced to resort to cannibalism which itself is a hard taboo to ever break, even then we have rules governing its behavior, to minimize the negative impact ( no eating family members, no “helping them along” so we can eat earlier, etc ).  But killing is so natural and necessary that the behavior is never banned.  It is only regulated.  The “natural and necessary” part is what you need to keep in mind.

*

Leaving aside the obvious freaks that unbelievably still breed ( the Pacific islanders who make cannibalism ritualistic, the Amish that don’t believe in killing ), killing is as natural and necessary as breathing.  Without the ability, the species would not survive.  How else do we protect ourselves from our apex predator, other humans?  Just as we need to breed, but not so much we breed with close family members, we also need to kill but cannot be indiscriminate about it.  Breeding needs to be consensual for the benefit of a harmonious parent bond necessary to raising a child for over a decade to maturity.  And killing needs to be within agreed upon bounds. 

*

Killing is all fine and dandy, indiscriminate killing is not.  Until it is, sort of.  Group governance dictates the rules of killing, which balances the positive and negative consequences, which is dictated by local conditions.  Once there is no longer a group, as in during complete disruption during a 99% die-off, the monopoly of force is by necessity conferred on the individual or small family.  Killing is NOT bad, as long as the rules are followed.  And when you are all alone, you still have your own rules to follow.  But the first rule is, first you need to kill.

*

You need to give yourself permission to kill.  Because any hesitation and you yourself are killed.  Let me try an analogy.  Let’s say you belong to a Church that preaches everlasting love.  To hate is to sin.  This is of course understandable, since you can’t be hating a official Church member who diddles your son, or kills him after a war the Church declared to be just and proper, in conjunction with the wishes of the State they are granted their power from ( yes, Papists, talking to you ).  In this case, you don’t have permission to hate.  But hating is good and it is proper and just incidentally it is a bit fun.  Hating keeps you alive because you are untrusting and cautious.

*

It is actually quite the ordeal going through self-deprogramming.  You must give yourself permission to hate, and to do that you must discard the authority of your church.  To be willing to kill, you merely need to give yourself permission, because your government who has been trying to kill you ( through either action or inaction insofar as the collapse ) no longer has the authority to grant or withhold permission.  It has lost the monopoly on force through its loss of legitimacy.  That is why I spend in inordinate amount of time highlighting the abuses of our state in the last century plus.  I’m trying to show you the loss of legitimacy.  Remember, everything has a very simple solution, although the devil is in the details.
