a dish best served cold


A DISH BEST SERVED COLD
What is the point of vendettas? From a survival standpoint, why is irrationally held hate a virtue? If you are naturally inclined to distrust and wish violence upon all other tribes ( because they are not your tribe ), what is the purpose of having one you hate more than all the rest? These are the questions I'm asking myself as I ponder the coming boogaloo. Because, no, we won't unite and yes, we will fight each other more than the nominal enemy. Why can't we fight for a common cause? I'm not sure I have a definitive answer, so let's talk this out.
*
You keep hearing the refrain, “we must put aside our differences and unite against the common enemy”. Now, obviously, this is just wishful thinking, a pipe dream. Some folks don't care for anyone that condones abortions, say. Some folks hate cops, regardless of motivation, as they took the kings shilling. Some people will never waver from their Libertardian views, no matter how much the “free enterprise system” screws them. I'm national socialist on some issues and anarchist on others. And I would side on the monopoly on force before total freedom.
*
Not that this makes much sense. At the end of the day, you want the Bill Of Rights. But for group safety you want total control over certain cultural norms. It isn't irreconcilable. If you keep things on a tribal level, it is all pretty intuitive. Every man a warrior, but as the war party leaves to fight your individual prerogatives are put on hold until the end of the operation. Group dictates must be obeyed, but it isn't a democracy, either. There is a consensus. Like a patriarchal family, it is a gentle dictatorship, with the rulers rightly in fear of overstepping their authority.
*
I think the bigger issue comes as we are consumed with the past of nation state supremacy clouding our perception of the current reality. The nation state is dead, but it is a zombie. It died when its reason for being was halted, and to my eyes that reason was centralized theft. Once the surpluses that could be fought over started to decline, so did the reason for large nations. I won't get into the anthology definitions of groups, as it is pointless nit picking ( “what is the definition of a band compared to tribe?” ). All we need to know is keeping the zombie alive is pointless.
*
Sure, if Pamela Lee Anderson is a zombie, you try to keep her alive for some extra sweet loving ( okay, I'm dating myself here. I don't know the name of any current Media Hump Toy. Just suspend her aging for our purposes here ). With a muzzle, of course. But sooner or later those nice lady bits are going to start rotting off. Now you have a nasty lump of maggot infestation ( why don't zombies attract flies? ) and a disposal problem. Better to never have stayed attached to her in the first place.
*
The same with a nation. We all love America, even as we hate its government ( hump Donald Trump, and all the rest of the bastards ) and want to kill half our fellow countrymen ( which ties in here. I'll get to it ). I mean, me? I say if you don't embrace the Bill Of Rights ( I could pretty much care less about the rest of the Constitution, which is just an administration flow chart ), you aren't an American. Lamp Post List, bitches. But that is just me. But loving this country, you still have to admit the bastard just isn't going to work any more. After 55 years, it is no longer a coherent cultural group.
*
The nation state is still the system we need, but we only need it until we don't. My best guess is we are seeing the end of globalization right now, with the Beer Virus. With the end of that system, American Empire is dead. Without a nation state navy ( which is showing signs daily of dying itself ), we cannot keep global trade running. Without global trade, the Spice does not flow ( the biggest hugs to the minion that started that meme-even if original to him or not ). Without the oil, the nation state which always needed surplus energy in whatever form, withers and dies.
*
If China's factories are not supplying us, we disintegrate as a nation. ALL infrastructure grinds to a halt. ALL interstate trade halts. If Nebraska isn't feeding Arizona, for instance, what allegiance do the old retired dudes have with the old but too broke to retire farmers? Why does anyone want the coastal cities to take our interior resources, if their value as ports is gone? You do realize that without globalization, both coasts ( even the Gulf coast, because without trade the oil industry shuts down ) are toast, right? Now do you understand why the Coasters love big daddy gov?
*
Why do women love corporations, and why do corporations love women, going to ridiculous lengths in Political Correctness for them? Bitches are cheap labor, just from the doubling of the work force. PC floods in immigrants, to push down wages even more. And the ladies, they have alienated all males and now desperately need the corporations to keep them alive. You love the one who feeds you. No matter how evil. We are mere animals in a zoo ( but of course, I would ALWAYS love ya'all, even if you didn't feed me. No, really! Honest! ).
*
I'm funning with that last part. I know the money spigot is getting turned off, better than many of you. I'd be surprised if Amazon is running by the end of this year, if Chinese trade stays the same. Hell, that is probably being optimistic. This summer? Eight ports shut down. One of the bigger is 100k cargo containers A DAY. Call the rest half that. A half million containers a day, every day. I wonder how quick Panama and Egypt go tips up with that revenue drop? I wonder if the locusts are in Egypt, so that local food shortages meet up with food trade halting? NOT a great place to be. Anyone being a tourist right now is an idiot. Some destinations will still be much worse than others.
*
Yes, yes, I know, I tend to wander. All back story, all the time. But how else does one assign a degree of concern? Anyway, if the nation state is in danger, if centralization is no longer viable and the future is decentralization, why strive to hold together a system without a future? For nostalgia's sake? That seems rather retarded. And if the US has no future ( the Sex Pistols were just a bit early, singing of no future ), why strive to organize above a tribal level? And if that is the case, why even try to get along with idiots you cannot stand?
*
( It is my contention that the next stop is not a return to state governance. Most states, even By Gum Texas, are cultural stewpots, too disunited by immigration both internationally and interstate to be a coherent whole. I think county levels are more realistic. If not at the village level, as widespread soil destruction , overpopulation and energy decline usually turn empires into die-offs. Think local, act local )
*
If you don't care to compromise your beliefs to get along with people that only have one thing in common with you ( breathing your air ), the next stop on that scale is to fight and hate them enough to break out the old Genocide Handbook. But, to the point of this article, you will be sacrificing some military strength by making everyone your enemy, by not seeking out alliances. Again, why waste time fighting those you almost agree with, when a greater enemy is at the door? Why were communist guerrillas fighting capitalist guerrillas ( both citizens of the same country ) when the Nazi's had invaded? Why didn't they unite? Why are Iraqi's or Afghans fighting each other when their countries are invaded? Why does this behavior persist, historically? Continued tomorrow.

  1. Following. Outside of certain areas still somewhat enclaved with culture or demographics as a population binding beltstrap, most areas/terrains of Conus is too diffuse to unite unilaterally for any common cause. It will only occur if an authority strong man constrict is established whether by votes, force, or coersively. There may be some confederations of rural cow counties (rural nevada counties self create buffers and surrounds with a seige type isolating of metro areas; vegas/reno shithole examples) that link up together out of common interests, but will have to either fight wars with urban enclaved malcontents, federals attempting to retake control, or foreign proxied elements inserted to forment chaos. A decentralization politically has to factor in where those new puzzle pieces can be "made" to fit together for during AND post collapse functions. Food from farm to table, utilities/fuel, trade, military and leo alliances. The Minion Wolverine will have to be the vandguard sentinel to prevent the same .Gov statists at local levels from just changing his roller derby jersey to his new team colors but is still the same jackwad county politician as always. Using laws and leos to shield him like mom's apron. Lampost near all of them as necessary head of the snake methods, reprogram the useful technicians of the 9%, and clean house of deadweight human detritus first. Then the figuring out afterwards can begin, with clearer heads and clean slate chalkboards. Stay frosty during spicy times.

    1. Politicians at the local level only appear nicer/more human/on your side, because you know where they live. Nuke them ALL, from orbit.

  2. re:
    'cohesive group'

    My longest friendship is with a fellow I call 'Billdozer'.
    For five decades, I watched in admiration as he power-housed diverse individuals into unified organisms.
    During the 1980s and 90s, Bill operated a regional SCUBA club, organizing trips to lush tropical paradises and such.
    After he got a couple hundred SCUBA divers 'on one page', he stepped back so we could self-govern... and the whole shooting match dissolved from politicians in-fighting.

    After a decade hermitage in Idaho (his yuge PV-powered log lodge graced the cover of HomePower magazine), he moved to the outskirts of the Reno Nevada area, and was invited to join Mongols Nation motorcycle club.
    In three years, they elected him president.

    The moral:
    The hispanicos and hispanicas of the Fresno-Sacramento corridor are culturally united against Blacks© and Caucasian folk.
    Murder is their trade.
    Where do I fit on that spectrum?

    The slum and mid-class Blacks© of every city are culturally unified against Caucasian folk.
    Murder is their recreation.
    Where do I fit on that spectrum?

    Law Enforcement Officials of every color and heritage acquire anything they want through intimidation.
    The threat of murder is required by their handbook.

    Anybody unwilling to perform at that level is fertilizer.

    1. I get the last sentence, tied into the moral, but how did that tie in with Billdozer? I got the Scuba dudes not united, but then the MC club thought Bill was a swell guy. How does Bill and MC tie in with disunited middle class vs the united OtherColors?

  3. The more desparet people become the more they turn to religion.
    Religion has killed more people than any other factor in history.
    Main reason for the infighting in spicy times.

    1. Religion is the pretext/justification. Food control the reason. But religion is the worst, to succeed in excess

      Delete
    2. I beg to differ...
      More men have perished in the pursuit of pussy.
      Ultimately, both government and religion were created in order to control and regulate who gets the pussy...

      Delete
    3. Okay, I can't argue with you there LOL. Only in times of want does Food override that.

    4. Religion, pussy, food...seriously?

      DISEASE. Dammit, disease has killed more people than ANYTHING.....Ever.
      Viruses are planetary apex predators with bacteria running in second place.

      You people haven't learned that? We're doomed with that level of intelligence. Good thing you clowns wear slip on shoes & clip on ties. Please stay away from matches FFS.

    5. Francis! Are you off your meds today. Kindly read up on the super volcano 70k years ago killer all but at most 10k breeding pairs. No disease ever came close. The fall of Rome killed more from famine and war than the previous plagues did ( granted, not all at once ). How about that Bronze Age die-off that depopulated the Mediterranean? Trade collapse, in a resource scarce environment, more likely than a plague ( the cause is still unknown ). The Mayans. Were they killed by drought, or disease? Don't make me continue on and embarrass you. I don't know why everyone gets works up about disease, which we evolve with, when the entire man made system is falling apart from energy contraction and over population. Disease will of course not help. But it isn't THE premier cause of casualties. It just finishes off the excess survivors from other disasters. Even the Black Death was more a weather/population issue

  4. You're looking at big headline items. I'm talking day to day, week to week.
    It's not just episodic events like Black Death or Justinian's Plague or Plague of Periclean Athens that account for disease deaths.

    Disease kills 24/7/365. Disease can wind its way across a continent only to turnaround in a mutated form and start again against first wave survivors. Think of New World. Natives died in waves as new pathogens hit them. Influenza, then measles, then small pox, then malaria etc. And each pathogen mutated after a few years and came back hunting for new victims. Over couple hundred years they were hit repeatedly.

    England had repeated outbreaks of Black Death from 1351(?) until last big one in 1665. I'll put money that all Plague deaths easily exceeded all wartime deaths in that timeframe.

    As for Mayans, who is to say they had high mortality or if they even 'died out'. There are still Mayan speakers in S. Mexico so apparently they didn't die out. Just the central state ceased.

    Perhaps weather did lead to collapse of centralized state and people simply migrated out to periphery. People have 2 legs, they can walk. People fled Oklahoma in 1932 during Dust Bowl, they didn't die by the millions.
    Do you have some proof that disintegration of Mayan state included abnormally high death count? You have no proof of starvation mass deaths. All we have evidence for is dissolution of Empire. You're conveniently conflating to bolster your argument.

    What about Anasazi Indians in 4 corners region. No sign of mass graves they just dispersed as area entered a dry time. I'll wager they didn't sit in the cliffside condos and wait to starve. They moved and assimilated into other tribes.

    Look, if Paleo-Siberians could cross Bering Sea (by land or kayak) and figure out a way to populate 2 continents within 1000 years I imagine their descendants in S. Mexico had enough sense to move on as centralized state collapsed.
    What, you think people just decide to sit around and wait to die of starvation? People die of starvation when they are trapped in besieged towns or are incidently stranded (Donner party, table for 12. Right this way, please).

    Yes, we evolve with disease but we humans have exact same DNA sequence for entirety of our lives. Pathogenic viruses mutate their DNA scores of times in same period of time. You might survive a flu viruses in 2018 but next year's flu drops you dead.

    Yep, if large scale collapse comes to USA more will die from cholera, influenza,diphtheria, measles, yellow fever (re:Memphis 1890) etc, etc than from 5.56 rounds ventilating them or probably even starvation.

    Wash your hands Lord Bison and boil your water. Stock up on soap. Lots of soap.

    1. Mayan and Anazazi finds seem to point to total warfare and cannibalism. Not definitive. Hell, now we don't even really know when the first Asians came over the Straight, as the date keeps being pushed back. But as far as being big picture rather than immediate, yeah, I get what you are saying. I'm saying food issues kill more than disease in toto. One plague, at one time, might have a 90% kill rate. First wave of Black Plague, AmerIndians and smallpox. But those aren't normal. That ebbs and flows with climate change and food production. Wouldn't you almost have to go Big Picture? Even Ebola with its huge death rate isn't spreading all that much ( not for lack of US trying. Just as they seem to be doing now ).
