tribe how 1 of 3

TRIBE HOW

A loyal minion brought up a very good question.  HOW.  We all know WHY you must share your stockpiled preps.  But we don’t know HOW.  The typical, usual advice is that you must have a tribe.  To have a tribe, you must buy off your tribal members by stocking for them.  I want to question these two assumptions.  You cannot make a claim that without a tribe, you die, and yet leave how the tribe is supplied out of the equation.  And I cannot make a claim that you only have the logistics to survive alone, without accounting how you can, or even should, do so.

*

Humans are a pack animal.  We evolved to live in tribes.  Without a tribe, we cannot do everything necessary to survive.  As the saying goes, the number one justification for joining a tribe, you have to sleep sometime.  But no one ever shares HOW we can have a tribe.  It used to actually be rather easy.  You bought $40 worth of wheat ( the buckets were free, so many restaurant meals were cheaply sold ), a $70 Mosin-Nagant and a sardine can of ammo for $90.  Per person.  Total bribe for each potential tribe member $200.

*

That was the 1990’s, a time of prosperity just prior to the Tech Wreck which ONLY didn’t crash the US economy because we immediately inflated the Housing Bubble ( AND we were able to because we were just off a high of Siberian cheap oil and before global Peak Oil ).  There is no more Fed Bubbles to inflate.  We are in a Fracking Oil Bubble, but look how bad things are now, and that is WITH all that “free” fracking oil energy.  Today, the cheapest gun is more than the old total.

*

You cannot find bulk free plastic buckets, just onesies and twosies.  The minimum gun/ammo/wheat price is about $600.  That is for inferior items.  AND, as a special bonus, you will have a heck of a time keeping a job now, whereas they used to be begging for help.  And cost of living for the basics is way out of control from twenty years ago.  It isn’t “just” there is inflation and quality decreases, it is also that even the old amount of money is harder to come by, let alone the new amount.  Bribing others to join your tribe costs 5-10 times more on a real cost basis.

*

And, I’m sure I need convince no one, the quality of that tribe member has also decreased.  Today’s generation of youth is largely a Soy Boy Brigade estrogen flooded PC indoctrinated idiot, or unemployed play station warrior. Not that I blame them for opting out of a useless economy as a choice, because while idleness is the Devil’s Playground, working for Da Corporate Anti-White Male Politically Correct Organization is not too far removed from working for Lucifer anyway.  As for the aging generation of old school survivalists, what a sad bunch that is.

*

Thinking of our ilk, I’m reminded of an old millionaire, living in a highly fortified home with all the material goods he’ll ever need, who falls down and dies of a heart attack as he scampers to his Safe Room after the alarm is tripped.  Our hearts are in the right place, but we are sentimental old fools with grander visions than actual abilities.  No harm there, even old dudes on the porch can admire a nice ass walking by and wish they could still mount it for something besides a nap.  And Never Giving Up is still admirable.

*

But from a practical standpoint, almost everyone you know is a worthless sod one way or another, survival wise.  Really, unfit for duty in the reality of collapse.  War is a young man’s game, and not for amateurs.  The modern state has traded quantity for quality, and they can get away with using poseurs, but only because they are trading highly concentrated energy sources in place of talent or experience.  Which aren’t really effective against those born to the trade anyway ( witness the Mother Of All Bombs that merely turned larger rocks into smaller ones ).

*

My question is not, “why are we bothering?”.  The odds of you surviving to use 90%+ of your supplies are low.  We know that.  We merely stockpile in case we survive, not because it will help us survive.  Survival is more avoiding people that stocking, and we ALL suck at that.  No, the question is, “WHY am I worried about forming a tribe if it is close to impossible AND if I’m only going to end up bribing a worthless mouth breathing peckerhead?”.  Because, you aren’t helping THEM.  You are helping YOU.  And honestly, being a dumbass can be good.

*

Look at the typical 18 year old military recruit.  Most likely, they are a loser just because they HAVE to join.  Individually they might be Super Awesome, but they did just come from the legions of poor and unemployable ( because there are no jobs, not because they can’t work ).  That is preferable as the poor are tougher and more able to handle privation, but more than likely you were raised without sufficient resources which as a group spells inadequate biologic units.  They can fatten some up and put on muscle and fix teeth, but there is also a fixed cost with the unfixables. 

*

But my point here is that the average recruit is either a dumb ass, or will become one.  Despite any propaganda, the military is a rigid top down organization that punishes individuality or inventiveness.   If you are smart, you get out.  If you are smart but must stay in, they will over time kill any incentive or intelligence you had.  The military LOVES dumb asses.  They do as they are told.  And they do it quick and efficiently.  Please refer back to the Forrest Gump boot camp scene, if you are confused.
