FAR FROM GRACEFUL

Commander Zero noted half of his readers were over the age of 55 ( from a poll ).  I’m 54 next month, and my age group was an additional 15%.  Only 7% in total were under the age of 36.  More than likely, children rearing age meant the wife severely restricted prepping, probably going to far as to prohibit wasting time on Internet research on the subject.  If she even needed to-I don’t recall having much Me Time the first three years of my kids being hatched.  No TV, no movies, no reading.  If the Web had existed I wouldn’t have had time for that either.

*

It isn’t like White gals aren’t having children.  They just aren’t having enough.  Probably enough for most young males to be captive in their younger years ( I have no problem with that myself, just with gals pumping and dumping the wallets-it would have been nice if my kids weren’t strangers ).  Plus, there simply isn’t enough obvious threats out there to interest young men to prep.  A nuclear armed Soviet Union, with gasoline lines, even the dumbest hormone laced young man ( such as myself ) can pay attention to.  More subtle threats are ignored.

*

It takes maturity and practice to identify the real threats to our civilization. If you go through life with a boner on your forehead, you see all the smiling Mexicans and every household with some disposable income, you don’t look at the racial war or true Worse Than Great Depression unemployment rate.  I had plenty of free time before I was ever deflowered, so I had a head start on survivalism.  That got me through the economically barren years.  But today?  Without nuclear war, it is too easy to look at economics and only see successful kicking the can. 

*

But be all that as it may, when I call all of my minions Crusty Old Bastards, I’m going to be more correct than not ( yeah, I know most of you could kick my ass ).  So I’m preaching to the choir here.  Hopefully though, since by being older you are by definition Old School, perhaps I’ll say something interesting.  You know what I’m talking about-you guys are stoic and bull headed and do stupid crap because it is macho.  I don’t think that is wrong, just that it should be tempered.

*

Being macho is necessary.  If you live in a tribe and must protect it.  The average young white male had no problem joining the military ( rather than waiting for the draft like the rich kids did, then tried to fight it ) in Vietnam.  He was protecting the WASP tribe.  It didn’t matter if it was a colonial war. If all males voluntarily went to all wars, in the end it was all beneficial.  It was the system that worked, so there was no need to judge each conflict as worthy or not.  Plus, who thinks they are mortal at 18?

*

Since then, however, we have lost our tribe.  Every year it gets more obvious.  And so it becomes a bit more important to distinguish wars of defense compared to wars of colonial occupation.  And the sad point is that there isn’t a lot to be recommended for fighting for this country anymore.  For PARTS of it, to come shortly, sure.  For the empire itself, which is actively genociding WASPS’s, not so much.  Being macho sure isn’t as necessary as it once was ( I’ll probably already have covered this subject’s timing in my e-mail newsletter.  Favored minions do subscribe ).

*

You older bastards are probably from the old tribal protection paradigm.  My generation not so much.  I had always wanted to join the military, but is was already being phased out culturally.  You almost have to wonder if the military being PC was on purpose, to help that along.  The hatching of the Soy Boy population.  My point here is that to one generation being macho was not yet discouraged, but it was almost optional, and to an older generation it was mandatory.  Do those of you from the mandatory era feel you can disregard that with age?

*

I honestly don’t know.  I don’t socialize enough to have conversations.  Me?  I’m having no problems accepting my aging process.  I won’t try to be macho by carrying too heavy of a backpack or try to be a mighty warrior carrying far too much firepower.  My junk is big enough, so I don’t try to measure it against anyone else.  Not that I’m trying to be lazy or a pussy, just that I’m not going to try to impress anyone else.  Bushwhacking isn’t macho?  I don’t care.  It gets the job done.  And the enemy isn’t tribe so I owe them no honor.

*

Same with the banks.  They literally destroyed the country.  Hell yes I had no problem declaring bankruptcy.  I owe them no honor.  Women and children first?  Sure, if they belong to my tribe.  Otherwise, nits turn to lice and breeders breed.  I was edu-macated to feel sorry for all the poor little baby and female Indians, viciously hacked down as they were defenseless.  Of course, nobody bothered telling me that before we showed up, the Gaia Hugging sustainable peaceful Indians were doing the exact same thing to each other ( I guess even if it wasn’t macho, they still had no problem with it ).

*

Being fat and happy and having no consequences for ignoring reality, modern western societies were able to minimize the macho.  It is okay when old men do it, as they have little choice.  But I don’t think they ever willingly begrudgingly accept it.  Unless they are from the modern generations that had practice their whole life.  It is certainly no way to prepare for the apocalypse, but it does make modern life easier I suppose.  For you old dudes, lighten up.  No one cares. 

*

Even if YOU care, you don’t have much choice.  Without those hormones, you are limited in your multiple choice picks.  Stop worrying what other people think.  Old Times, it WAS important what the tribe thought.  Now?  You don’t have a tribe.  At least enjoy the positive aspects of that.  Don’t go overboard and whine like a little girl, but you can also stop trying to impress so many folks.  Macho is shorthand for Flying Off The Handle.  Not Caring.  It is still good to act like a man.  Just separate “macho” from “gentleman”.  And don’t let the asswhores define you.

*

You want to carry concealed to defend yourself?  Fine.  But to be macho and defend strangers?  You know all those bitches voted Commie and Anti-Male.  Let the criminals weed a few out.  It is as close to revenge as you are allowed.  Trying to help someone medically and still screwing up might not see you persecuted.  MIGHT.  I’m not sure how the laws have changed. But shooting anyone?  The inJustice System will go after your ass as the easiest target.  Let the system eat its own young.  Because folks will judge you by the old system, but judge themselves by the new.  Don’t play the crooked game.
