PREPPER ROCK STARS

You know who I'm talking about, the survivalist guru's who lead the perfect life with the perfect plan for preppers. Those we are all supposed to emulate. I think this crap started with fallout shelters. Not that the poorest worker couldn't have one, as the Civil Defense folks published a lot of decent plans for do-it-yourself, but the Money Envy aspect of it must have been a factor, with store bought versus homemade. But it really kicked into high gear with Mel Tappon. While older folks were smart enough to appreciate a homemade shelter, the newer ones seemed to feel they needed Mel's arsenal.

( As an aside, I was writing the above and had a Blond Geriatric moment and forgot Mel's name. I was futzing about the Internet trying to search for it, as I had ALSO forgot his books names, and stumbled on a discussion on a gun forum. Mostly the discussion was on the lost relevance of Mel's books, being outrageously outdated, and some schmuck goes on about how Mel was off on his timetable and hence one shouldn't prep too much and should just focus on financial preparations. I almost vomited blood )

( I don't know if this needs an extra article all on its own, but I'll be content here to interrupt this one. I don't know if this guy was just a Yuppie Scum, thinking money solved most problems, a paid wanker for the central bank or just an idiot who had no business touching on survivalism as it was a subject he had no understanding on. First, who could be blamed for the thinking the end was nigh, after the 70's? And second, after all the false alarms since then, who preps unless they truly think the system itself is unstable, no timetable needed? )

I don't know why we feel the need to follow the rich. Obviously, this goes back way before the modern Oil Age. The rich, to set themselves apart from the poor, spreading their peacock feathers to attract the best mates. Certain poor, or at least Not Rich, find a way to pretend to also be rich by duplicating the original feature that the rich used, be it using expensive spices at a dinner party or getting one of those newfangled Horseless Carriages. Then the cycle starts all over again as the rich find a new way to look really rich.

*

But in the meantime the rich figured out how to profit off of the old trend the idiot poor are still trying to use to attract a better breeder. Look at two examples, cars and real estate. Poor people are spending way more than is healthy trying to live in southern California, alongside the rich. The rich think nothing of spending ten million on a home, then investing in another home and then charging rent to the poor of $3k a month. All because the idiots wouldn't move away. It isn't like the rich didn't send a strong warning signal, through rising prices.

*

And did you have to start me on automobiles? Since the 1970's, FIFTY friggin years ago, the auto lifestyle that the rich started has been a losing paradigm. The poor, instead of moving, which any of them could do with a piece of junk land and a Greyhound ticket, stay around in a location requiring a car. So the rich make insurance mandatory, double the price of a vehicle, make them last half as long, and STILL the poor keep driving. Even when Saudi Arabia is bombed, they still keep driving. I mean, the writing isn't just on the wall, it is in huge neon letters, spelled phonetically so the rankest idiot among them can figure it out. STOP driving!!!

*

I guess I just answered my own question. The poor, and that is anyone that HAS to work, LOVE emulating the rich. They cannot stop. They can't help themselves. Some little voice camped down south in their pair of whitey-tighties is hollering about getting the most expensive piece of pussy they can find. Not just “get laid”, but “get laid to the nicest looking piece of ass I can find”. Stupid humps. There is pussy all over the place, willing and able to be yours if you just stopped looking at the Playboy Bunny models.

*

Sorry, ladies, if I'm being a bit crass. I think we can both agree that fat and ugly bitches need loving too. And there are a whole lot more fat and ugly out there than there are Beautiful People. Hell, I'm not pretty by any definition, and I sure don't have money. I appreciate fat and ugly. Which is just superficial anyway. Just like most folks who race after good looks or trying to impress people by what their possessions look like.

*

You THINK having a car makes you look successful. It just makes you broke, or at the very least indentured longer. And the only reason you can even drive cheaply, besides your mechanical skills, is that there is everyone else out there trying to look rich, who provide you with cheap cars. You think you are rich, profiting off that poor schmuck trying to look rich by driving. You are STILL trying to look rich. Do you realize “I'll quit driving when I have to” sounds a lot like “I can stop drinking any time I want to”.

*

So why am I surprised that DRIVERS! ( said in the same snide tone coastal yuppies use on Deplorables when they say BREEDERS! ) would also try to look rich in their prepping endeavors? Is that why there are Prepper Rock Stars, the fact that survivalism is like any other activity where one economic class tries to emulate the other? Oh, look at me, my closet full of canned food and a hunting rifle. I am preppared for the apocalypse! No, no, girls, look at ME! I have MRE's and semi-auto's, I am truly a more worthy life mate!

*

And why are we even trying to out spend each other? Women have probably already surpassed males in earnings ( don't you dare cry about Glass Ceilings, you ingrate bitches! Everyone's wagers are stagnant to falling. Take men's wages, subtract the marriage tax, subtract future loses due to lack of college, and you all earn more and hold more positions ). The last two wives I had to support were either gold diggers or unemployable from medical issues alcoholics. Among NORMAL women, few need our wages.

*

Yes, I understand that human hardwiring is not going to change. Underneath the superficial culture currently in place, we are still bare assed savages. Women are still going to be selected on looks and men will still compete with each other for that. In the meantime, before culture is restored to regularity, realize the limitations your programming is having on you in our present environment. Your wired desire for the nicest pair of boobs ( hmmm, boobs! ) is seeing you do stupid crap like buy freeze dried foods, semi-automatics and four wheel bug out vehicles. STOP IT!!! Continued tomorrow.

note: a common complaint on having a Forever Arsenal in black powder was the insane gun price.  This seems a LOT more reasonable, a kit for $260 at Midway click HERE ( on sale as I posted this.  Regular price is $330 ).  If you wanted flintlock, that is almost double the price, unfortunately.  But you can get a cap maker HERE and the same company sells primer liquid ( at about 1cent per for the rimfire-not sure what it would take for this BP rifle.  But with the maker and liquid we are talking cheap to stockpile tens of thousands of percussion caps )
*
note: under the "everyone is entitled to act like an idiot" department, the Green Mountain Dude thinks the communists are being threatened by fascists, and tells them all to attack anyone not Politically Correct click HERE .  Good Gravy, Hippies are something else.  I guess in Clown World, the exact opposite is reality.  Well, he still gives a mean dose of prepper advice.  You just need to ignore his politics ( and me personally, I'll ignore his Gore Warming warnings, as they are mostly based on ignoring solar inputs )

note: JRG-many thanks for the awesome snail mail donation
*
note: free for today books.  It says "dystopian & post-apoc" which means, given they are all female writers, probably just dystopian with lots of "feelers".  But, the novel collection is 1600 pages, so it will keep you out of trouble as you would otherwise solicit on the street corner for spare ammo HERE.  If you want a nuke war story, if a bit short, HERE
