ASSCLOWN MIGRATIONS 2

Let’s get the basics out of the way.  When another group decides to migrate en masse to your area, there isn’t much you can do about it.  You cannot possibly stock enough ammunition, and there are pretty easy ways to defeat a small outpost.  There is fire.  Cutting off their water supply.  Snipers.  Once a certain number of people surround you, more than likely it is going to be time to eat a bullet.  That is the bad news.  And let us not mince words.  If you live in a food production area, you will be besieged and defeated.

*

The good news is, you don’t have to live in an area like that.  That is why everyone heads to the mountains.  Because civilizations thrive in watered lowland valley’s.  Not being there is what saves you from being displaced.  As a general principle.  Given a long enough time line, there are few surrounded areas that can ever withstand replacement.  But that is a generations long trend.  And humans don’t plan for generations, per se.  They can accidentally do so, but the myths of noble savages hugging trees are just that.  Fairy tales.  If immediate survival calls for too-quick resource extraction, it happens.

*

But back to the Golden Horde.   Lines of drift are important.  Stay away from those.  But the basics are that you need to be well clear of farmland.  Rolling hills are no defense, either.  Small mountains in too close of proximity are no long term solution.  You need to be well away from migrants paths and migrants target areas, AND adjacent areas that will be strategically important.  And no, this doesn’t mean there are only a few safe areas, like the Rocky Mountains.  There will always be pockets elsewhere, just as there could be targets within generally safe areas.

*

Humans are generally lazy bastards.  They will go to where the lowest hanging fruit is available.  North AND south America filled up before the Eskimos had to settle for what was left.  If you just avoid first and favorable targets and have an area favorable to guerrilla warfare you and a few generations should be in a good area.  Just remember that in too small of an enclave, eventually lack of generic diversity are going to concentrate mutations.  And that isn’t even the immediate Banjo Players from inbreeding, but group wide. 

*

Insular groups such as certain Jews or Indian castes that demand in group marriages can in time breed themselves into a corner genetically.  In that aspect, diversity is your strength.  You just cannot allow outsiders to change your culture ( no Trojan Horses, such as we currently subsidize and encourage ).  Race isn’t nearly as important as cultural advantages.  Culture is the immediate adaptation to environment.  Race barely counts, and can be so diluted by migration it isn’t even a factor too often.  Race doesn’t hurt as an identifier of foreign culture, of course.  Just don’t confuse racism with xenophobia.

*

But back to migrants.  Don’t confuse economic and political migrants for the historical migrations that were based on resource scarcity.  Muzzies entering Europe are a refugee wave from drought and overpopulation, true, but there would be no resources for them there to exploit if it wasn’t for the welfare states there.  The ones that can subsidize new entrants as well as the original inhabitants retiring.  You know the immigrants are allowed in to make someone money.  Just as the Mexicans are in the US.  Someone benefits.  So this is more of an economic immigration than over resources.

*

Not only must you avoid the current economic and political migrants, you must choose wisely about future resource migrants.  I imagine the first wave of grass fed nomads took the Europeans by surprise ( as soon as the wheel was invented, the Steppe nomads could haul water and supplies to migrate over those areas without ).  But after that, grassland was a known invitation to invasion, as soon as the nomads experienced a drought.  What areas are likely to be future targets, just as the plains of Europe were?  Wherever the area will feed an army.  Nomadic or agriculturally.

*

You might be looking favorably at the plains of eastern Montana or the Dakotas right now, as the population is falling and the winters will keep the urban communists out.  Or will it?  Sure, in the immediate aftermath of a collapse.  In the last stages of the economic decline as there are no jobs or modern infrastructure, but what about future nomads?  I doubt that the buffalo will make a comeback.  The landscape is changed and I doubt any surviving population will allow the herds to grow past their current bottleneck numbers.  So traditional nomadic livestock will probably thrive there.  Are you one of them, or are you in their way?

*

These groups aren’t after your pathetic few #10 cans of freeze dried downer cow.  They have meat on the hoof.  They will be after you because you are in their territory.  If you have a skill they need, and they know about it, you might be lucky enough to be folded into their group.  Otherwise, the riff-raff must be cleared.  You could be on useless land, but it is still theirs.  You are a potential spy or staging area for insurrection.  There is none of this crap about Can’t We All Just Get Along.

*

Recall what happened to the Jesuits in Japan.  They were contaminants and hence removed.  Enclaves are usually forcefully removed when the political winds shift.  Nothing personal, you understand, but off with your head Foreigner Devil.  But also keep in mind energy availability.  The foreigners in the swamps of Louisiana or in the dark areas of the Appalachians were economically embargoed and left to rot on their own, until after WWII when our oil abundance allowed forceful integration and cultural genocide and homogenization.  Your enemy must have mobility and the military capacity, a surplus, to go after you if you are otherwise not a target.

*

If you are near a vital water source, or at a strategic stronghold or near fertile flatland, you will be an immediate target regardless of the cost of eliminating you.  Otherwise, you’ll have time.  Because remember that the first waves are entire populations displaced by resource issues.  They aren’t professional armies ( unless all of the society is militarized ).  You just have to make it difficult enough and be as little of a target as possible to avoid the crowds.  This is not always obvious, as otherwise worthless areas are strategically important of which you have no idea of.

*

For instance, say a group further away has a trade item to the valley inhabitants you overlook.  What if one of your mountains controls the trade route?  It was never used until this new trading agreement went into effect.  That sort of thing.  And it isn’t that easy making blanket recommendations for the whole country.  You know your area best. Just look at it through the eyes of post-oil.  Good luck.
