GROUP THINK 3

At the end of our last exciting cliff hanger episode, I introduced Group Standards.  I don’t think that this potential roadblock to group formation, cohesion and harmony is really ever discussed.  There are two problems with imposing group standards.  WHO, and COST.  The Who of course it at its base about who gets to be Alpha Dog.  This is a fight that we can all relate to.  Males, as a competition for competence and females as a domination game.  Both serve very valid biological survival functions, so I’m certainly NOT speaking ill of anyone or their behavior.

*

Males must be competitive as the winner is naturally accepted by the group as the leader, and harmony on the hunt or battlefield produces the best results.  Females must battle for the best sperm donor, yet there is no biological imperative to cooperate.  So they viciously fight for position.  Then, the alpha male gets the alpha female, who furthers his agenda by being the most sneaky and controlling.  We all know females are really in charge, but their forte is Machiavellian Maneuvers.  Under a strong female leader, the tribe works harmoniously behind the scenes, freeing the males efforts outwards.

*

They complement each other.  Look at how the family used to be raised.  Mom used threats and manipulation to corral the kids, as dad was able to go procure substance.  That is how the tribe works, basically.  But for all the good that these engrained behaviors deliver, you cannot ignore their potential complications as they manifest themselves daily in situations not related to tribal survival.  A good example is female jockeying for sexual position even at the expense of disrupting harmonious pair bonding.  Or males disrupting life being macho and irritating as they display their peacock feathers in wasteful competition.

*

Another thing you can expect is lack of cooperation for its own sake.  We can both agree that we need to Tribe-Up, but we won’t do that without conducting the competition dance.  We can’t JUST use logic to present the best position, but rather we must jockey with each other to prove our credentials.  The higher accomplished male then has his views accepted.  Not on the strength of the views but on his credentials to have them accepted.  That is just how we are hardwired, and while wasteful and possibly unnecessary it serves a larger purpose we are better off keeping.

*

Unfortunately today, those we used to view as proving their male superiority in business have devolved into a more feminine backstabbing maneuvering and deception roll ( possibly why lawyers are not viewed favorably ) and have sold us on the necessity of “efficiency”.  I’m not sure why we bought into it unless only those companies employing it have survived.  Carrying “efficiency” to its logical extreme, you eliminate all redundancies.  By eliminating redundancies you are far more vulnerable to disruption.  That is why the assault on genders is so dangerous.  It threatens to become too Efficient.

*

When you eliminate gender roles you are eliminating the built in stability which was only possible because of the inefficient energy used on competition to assert leadership.  If you could eliminate the need of proof of competence, wow, what a much more “efficient” system for taking over the society.  Not to say that those who have won aren’t the superior hen in the flock, just that without the counter-balancing male role, lack of cooperation is destructive.  It is ALL female combat without male cooperation structures.  But that got us off the mark slightly.  Let us return to the downside of male competition. 

*

Again, this competition “inefficiency” is biological and best for the species.  But the immediate problem it causes is that competing while necessary might also just derail the whole process.  Not that we don’t WANT to compete.  It is natural.  But the stakes on losing might be far too much to take the gamble.  We are talking serious money here, to stock up to someone else’s standards.  And you two might be playing by different rules.  He is using male competitive positioning using a now feminized benchmark, whereas you recognize Money Is For Pussies.

*

Business used to be war.  That is, the strongest and best won.  Now, in war, it is perfectly honorable to cheat.  Ambushes and retreats are an acceptable tactic.  If two armies are fighting under the same rules, you can eliminate those features, but generally two opposing cultures are clashing and any amount of cheating is justifiable since it is tribe against tribe and the only rule is survival ( if there are agreed upon customs such as peaceful surrender, leaving civilians alone, etc., then it is a more gentlemanly affair.  Dissimilar cultures don’t agree on customs, however ).  But war AMONGST like cultures has rules.

*

And if business was like war, it also had rules amongst like tribe competition.  It was okay to force opium onto China since they were ignorant savages.  Just like it was honorable to machinegun Bush Bitches carrying spears.  But you didn’t slaughter other Whites, or cheat them in business.  You competed on a fair, level playing ground.  The superior product and practice justifiably won the competition.  That is how business USED to be conducted.  It was the superior rooster.  Now?  It is all a hen pecking contest.  No rules, no “best man wins”.  Just whoever is most devious.

*

And who wins by deviousness and viciousness?  Females.  Business is now a female endeavor.  There is no more honor or winning on competition to judge superiority.  It is just a cat fight.  Sure, okay, whatever, in a collapsing system as resources become scarce, obviously this kind of dog eat dog BS is going to dominate.  As such, it isn’t even really all that dishonorable because you are no longer in friendly competition with those of your society, but rather at all out war amongst enemies NOT of your tribe, and all is fair then.  HOWEVER!  There is an important distinction we need to make.

*

Money.  Money used to be a benchmark of an honorable business rewarding competence.  It is no longer anything other than the trophy of the best thief.  So why then, pray tell, should we be using money as a Measure Of The Man?  If you can only get it dishonestly or by being employed by thieves, why should we use money as a marker of the superior warrior?  And yet that is exactly how the fight for dominance to be able to determine the Group Standard is still gauged.  The most money is still the worth of the man.

*

Now, granted, I’m suffering a tad from classism here, but I’m rather proud of the fact I can live without much money.  I think I’m less of a pussy for being able to survive without so much luxury.  I don’t need to be such a pampered princess.  I think THAT is the better measure of combat readiness than expensive gear.  I understand that is also a underclass social coping mechanism.  Rich humpers think they are smarter, and view unsoiled hands as a benchmark.  And the two sides shall never agree even to disagree. 

*

If someone doesn’t want me in “their” group because I cannot prove my worth by lack of lower class labor, I don’t want to be there.  And if they cannot Nut Up and handle a bit of suffering by giving up their toys and luxuries, I don’t want them around me.  Do you see the fundamental issue here, with perspective tribe members?  It isn’t JUST money. It isn’t JUST class.  It is the benchmark for competition should have changed and it hasn’t.  It is males not even understanding they are feminine.  And that they are using feminine markers as judgement.

Shudder at the horror of Other People, especially preppers!
