AMMO BARTER 2
When is it okay to
surrender to the enemy? Duh. Never. When is it okay to give in to
the demands of a terrorist? Duh, same answer. Surrendering is the
same as saying, hey, it's okay to labor for my enemy so he defeats my
people easier. Or, it's okay if I'm tortured and give intelligence
to the enemy who will use it to kill my people. Sure, it's okay if
we are all civilized and observe the Geneva Convention, but not even
The Home Of The Free does that any more. Imagine how much worse it
will be post apocalypse. Hell, even now, would you feel good about
how Uncle Sam is going to treat you in captivity?
*
His Black Shirt
minions? Ah, NO! Save a round for yourself, because falling on your
bayonet is going to be really frigging painful. As far as
terrorists, I'll ignore the whole “Uncle is funding and using
terrorists as a weapon” thing and just play it straight. If you
give in to a terrorists demands, you reward bad behavior. Reward bad
behavior and you get more of it. Look at the global Zionist campaign
against Holocaust Deniers. First, hello, free speech. But despite
how wrong it is, you have to admire the tactic.
*
The Zionist ( as
opposed to Jewish, not one and the same ) disproportionate response
is wonderfully effective in muzzling all dissenting voices. One
historian that has thirty years of an impeccable research record
utters one little thing that you would have to stretch to even
imagine it being Denier Friendly, and you spend countless dollars
then defaming and destroying him ( I'm thinking of David Irving here,
although I might be off on specifics ). Before you know it, everyone
is self-censoring and the Reparations Bucks flow in at an even faster
rate.
*
So, a terrorist makes a
demand. It is a small demand, and there are tons of hostages.
Wouldn't their lives be worth such a minor cost? Look at the
Chechnya guerrillas and the Russian elementary school kids. Who
doesn't like kids? The Chechen guerrillas love kids, but they love
THEIR kids more, so the price of blood must be paid. Even the most
vile Russian politician or General loves kids ( I don't much care for
the curtain climbing nose pickers, myself, but without them Hilary
couldn't have climbed to power over countless bodies ).
*
But the Russians
stormed the school anyway. It is a question of a few dead kids now,
or a metric butt ton later. You choose the lesser evil. And not
just a lot of kids later but before you know it, you've got Muzzy
terrorists trying to destroy your whole country. You get some dumb
ass Politically Correct lesbians in the band Pussy Riot, you arrest
their ass on stupid sounding charges. Else, you are soon battling
those crazies in every institution in society ( I don't imagine
Russia is graduating any PC scientists that design pedestrian
walkways to collapse ). A disproportionate response IS always called
for, or you go on the defensive.
*
I discuss all this for
a very good reason. It is all well and good to have analysts who see
nuanced gray areas, as that allows the decision makers better
information, BUT! You can't allow analysts into power. Life is much
better lived in a black and white world as far as making any and all
decisions. Your tribe is correct, no matter what. No discussion.
No gray area, only black and white. You don't mistreat your family.
Etcetera. Choices are the bane of good decision making. A lot of
social and cultural dysfunction today are directly the result of too
many choices ( other than binary ).
*
Set policy, and never
waver. Never second guess. Do you realize the mass of propaganda
set directly against that common sense dictate? The bastards in
charge are lawyers at heart, and lawyers profit off of gray areas.
They want you to always say, “yeah, but...”, because that is
where they screw you. They can always insert an exception if you
give them room. It is called getting a foot into the door, or
allowing the camel to put his nose under the tent. Once the
exception is given, they keep pushing for more. And more. Until
they get the exact opposite of what you wanted.
*
No females in the
military became a separate branch of the military became a coed force
became women in combat roles. We went from no non-White immigrants
to Catholic white immigrants to some Oriental immigrants to all
non-White immigrants to no controls against immigrants ( as long as
they are of alien cultures ). THAT is what happens with Exceptions.
With Pliable Standards. Far better a superstitious inflexible
tradition bound stubborn policy than a policy “guided by common
sense”.
*
This is a skill we need
to relearn, that of uncompromising tradition guided decision making.
Binary. Yes or no. NEVER “maybe”. No exceptions to “no
exceptions”. Never means never. One never surrenders. Your
family is held hostage? No surrender. Your enemy has a reputation
of fairness? No surrender. When policy is set in stone, it gets
followed. Ambiguity is the enemy of policy. If you don't make it so
simple a chimp can understand, half your people will screw it up.
Inflexibility means a common sense rule always gets followed. The
lawyers have you looking at flexibility as a virtue, but it is a
vice. It is the conduit of anarchy.
*
Because people follow
no rules without fail today, they have a perception of freedom.
Yeah, you have the freedom to disown a family member. So you never
have any family you can rely on. You have the option is de-friending
someone, and so never have any friends. Your job has the freedom to
fire you ( “we must remain competitive!” ), and so has no loyal
employees. Without responsibility, you have no reward.
*
When you make the
rules, such as “you NEVER get rid of your ammunition except bullet
first”, and you NEVER break them regardless of the short term
gains, in the long run you benefit more. Now, don't get me wrong.
Ambiguity and a lack of solid rules are the bread and butter of my
writing. I have a never ending amount of subject matter to refute,
to turn into hard and fast rules to make life easier for you.
Simplifying is what pays the bills. I look at both sides of every
issue, because the issues have been simplified. BUT! They weren't simplified by throwing out any rules.
*
What we have to do is
study and then re-frame the arguments. Then stick with them. All
these complicated issues survivalists have stem from Exceptions To
The Rule. Simply, there should NOT be exceptions. THAT is a lot
simpler and saves you a lot of brain power. And when seconds count,
LACK of exceptions are very important. “Oh, it's a
child/woman/geriatric. Should I help them?” I don't know, dumb
ass. What do you think? Well, on the one hand....NO! A thousand
times NO. Are they your tribe? No? That means you can't help. No
matter what. Always.
*
Would the Terminator be
so successful if the rules were “he will not stop. Except
when...”?

I agree with you. Another example of the problem with gray areas is with homosexuals:
ReplyDeleteFirst they wanted tolerance. They they wanted acceptance. Then they wanted laws made to favor them.
Then they wanted to make everyone homosexual, especially children...for instance Drag Queen Story Hour where they roll around on the floor with children.
I have to blame the parents on that last one. If you tolerate that, your kids should go homo so that genetic line dies out.
DeleteI’m not 7:18 Jim, but I thought that I would chime in here. In some cases, the parents have little choice in the matter (Yes, you can home school, and you should). I thought that there was a law here in the states, that basically states that if your young child chooses to be “transgender”, you must let them, or face confiscation of said child. I couldn’t find it, but it is already a reality in Canada, and you know that it will be here soon enough as well. Now there is a law here in Commiefornia that forces you to have to put your child through the indoctrination campaign, with no choice to opt out.
DeleteOne of the profiled in the class is the child of Sonny and Cher, “Chaz Bono”, best know for his hit single: “Ive got a penis in you babe" :D (But in all seriousness, they are profiling sick fucks like this, and propping them up as role models)

I can see the extreme difficulty. I guess I am a bit too harsh. That would be like expecting a Anti-Vaxer to keep moving to different states. I'll leave the blame at half to parents.
DeleteExcept homo-ness seems to run, in a small percentage, in every animal known. Until the Abramic religions came along, it was OK, too. Some religions/beliefs, like those of the Navajo, actually require there to be some homos around. And, I should note, the Navajos may well end up with their own nation again, as no one else can make it in that desert without modern conveniences.
DeleteYou can't force a non-homo to be homo any more than you can force a homo to be non-homo. In many advanced cultures (Greece, Edo Japan) you could be as homo as you like, as long as you do your part and produce some children. It was just a non-issue.
I see it like smoking pot. It's pretty much completely legal where I am now. It still stinks, and I still have zero interest in it, but it's a good thing not seeing lives ruined over a little weed. I've had people give me weed in Santa Cruz, and I'll just say thanks after trying to turn it down, put it in my shirt pocket, and pass it on to someone else. Making it legal and literally surrounding me with pot shops isn't going to turn me into a weed smoker.
Don't let Aesop hear you say that :)
DeleteSorry, I should have been more clear. Don't let him hear you about the "innocent weed" :) To him, drugs are like guns to liberals. They are animate objects, and evil. And must be regulated for our own good. I see his point, but it only works in a homogeneous society

Score! I enjoy the work of both authors.
For fun fiction, check into Mike McCrary. His RELENTLESS will be studied in writing classes for decades 'to come'.
Thanks, I'm checking Mike out.
DeleteYesterdays comment section...
ReplyDelete"The only true “forever gun” is a primitive Indian bow."
Take one step backward from that and you'll have it. The atlatl.
Peace out
Is a bow easier to learn and keep proficient with? Is it more accurate? Because if not, is the increased simplicity worth it? You could go all the way back to just a rock ( no sing allowed! ) if JUST simplicity is needed. I don't have answers-I'm merely trying to get a better sense of the argument.
DeleteIn the book "Seeds Of Man" folk singer Woody Guthrie describes a trek across the American desert, I believe at least at one point in search of a "seep" from a gas pipeline to gas up their jalopy. It turns out that Guthrie's uncle or some such relative, is an ace rock thrower and is able to pot all the rabbits they want.
DeleteThis is how kids used to grow up - spending enjoyable hours throwing rocks, making and shooting little bows and arrows, spears, etc. I even experimented making and using a sling, and after that experience I find the story of David & Goliath all the more miraculous, because I couldn't hit shit with the thing. But at least I tried!
@ Peace Out. I’m the guy that wrote that comment, and I’ve looked into the Atlatl briefly before. I sorta got the impression that they might be difficult to aim? I too would be interested in knowing more about the Atlatl if you have any experience with them.
DeleteOkay, I found a site with a few good videos. In the first video, Matt Graham of Dual Survival, spears a few fish with one. Another video goes through the detail instructions on how to aim one properly. They look like they might be tricky to get the hang of aiming, but they also look a heck of a lot simpler to construct than a primitive bow.
Deletehttp://justsurvival.com/how-to-make-an-atlatl
I'm wondering if it wasn't manufacturing simplicity but rather learning curve that obsoleted the weapon. Like going from bow to crossbow or crossbow to gun, the increased build complexity was compensated for by ease of use. Or was it simply increased performance from increased velocity?
DeleteMore Germans died in Allied POW camps than died from the actual war.
ReplyDeleteThe Nazi's at Nuremburg were tortured mercilessly for those confessions (which they recanted).
The British tortured POW's they held to such an extent they begged for death.
These were the "good" guys. Post APOC expect worse.
The info is out there and isn't that hard to find if you so choose to search for it. I suggest you don't.
Not a rabbit hole that is easy to go down. I only know of a few sources to explore the issue further, and I don't really want to take that journey ( I like the more theoretical questions, like, "did we infect vaccines", as it isn't as scary as history can be ).
DeleteJust human nature. We just don't like REALLY looking in the mirror.
ReplyDeleteCatching back up from a week of travel, and catching back up from travel. Of all of the posts of the past week, this was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't set standards, the situation will judge you accordingly.
Thanks! It was of the more satisfying to pen.
