hump you humping humpers


HUMP YOU HUMPING HUMPERS

There is much talk about liberals verses conservatives, White verses Black ( fun filled fact: only 5% of all African slaves ended up in the US.  That is FIVE percent.  The majority were split between Brazil and the Caribbean.  The reason so many were here was that relatively speaking we treated them well enough to reproduce, which was not the case elsewhere ), class verses class, introverts and extroverts.  I believe I’m about the only one that talks about pessimists verses optimists.  As in, this is such a behavioral marker that is explains a lot more than acknowledged. 

*

Preppers are too pessimistic to just swallow the Deep State Kool-Aid.  Pussy Pretty Pony Preppers are far more optimistic than rural tinfoil hat semi-hermit End-Is-Nigh survivalists which embrace full on pessimism ( while berating themselves for not being pessimistic enough ).  Liberals are so optimistic that they think petroleum comes from the gooey Earth center, that Love will solve all problems and that women just need to center themselves enough to be as strong as males.  Conservatives are optimistic about their odds of screwing over those weaker than them but pessimistic enough to watch their backs for similar treatment.

*

We’ve talked of all this before.  So, today, I’d like to apply that Applied Lens to planning on your future enemies.  In short, you are far too optimistic if you think people aren’t that bad.  You need to Get Religion about pessimism and the future.  If you think you can continue with today’s view that if you leave others alone they will mostly return the favor, you just stamped a big “Hump me, please, dry” on your forehead.  All of you hate ( there you go!  Focus on that hatred! ) my focus on Peak Oil, EROI, energy contraction and Malthusianism.  Go ahead, hate the messenger.  Here is the bottom line.  Optimism is a feel good fantasy that we have been allowed to indulge in all through the Oil Age.

*

You need to stop that crap right damn now.  The oil age is in clear decline for all those willing to look.  We haven’t even sustained our VOLUME of oil, let alone its net energy.  The only unknown aspect of the crash is the timing.  It is already occurring.  And the reason we won’t gradually decline like we have for the last fifty years is that after the plateau we fall off the cliff.  Everything you think we just went through as being bad ( deficiets, unemployment, inflation, etc. ) was JUST the bumpy plateau.  You haven’t seen anything yet.

*

And part of coping with this accelerating collapse is to Stop Being So Gott-Damn Optimistic.  The sunshine shooting out of your ass is so bright it is blinding you.  Now, note that I am NOT saying to give yourself permission to be a dingus to others.  I’m just saying that if you start assuming the worst, when it inevitably happens you don’t go into partial meltdown from shock.  And part of this process, what I speak of today, is to start hating other people.  This is the part where you dehumanize them so it becomes easier to smite them in the future.

*

Fear of jail and incarceration keep us all civil now.  Polite discourse is still important for our own sanity.  But as the saying goes, don’t confuse my generosity with weakness.  That is where your head needs to be.  Hate others.  Pretend you are the Thought Police and hate them now for what they might do to you in the future ( or others like them ).  Condemn then before they act.  You still act polite, because no one likes a dick, even in ourselves.  Politeness is social lubricant.  I’m a bit harsh and judgmental, rough around the edges, and less likely to suffer fools then I used to be, but I try to stay polite with all my minions.  You constantly increase my knowledge base which makes me a better writer, and only a fool bites the hand that feeds them.

*

And by being polite and civil, we all benefit.  Does that mean I don’t hate everybody?  No.  It means I can operate socially as needed.  I can still operate under “I’ll leave you alone if you return the favor” mode.  But by keeping that nauseating optimism under control, I still operate under enough suspicion and skepticism and cynicism to cover by ass.  I’m not saying I hate my minions and suspect them, what I’m saying is that I don’t let their decency and love dampen the pessimism I hold towards the human race in general.  They are the exception that proves the rule.  So is your one in a million non-fair weather friend, or your odd duck spouse that isn’t out to screw you like all the rest.

*

If you stay pessimistic, despite all the contrary evidence, you are always pleasantly surprised.  If you stay too optimistic, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.  So to return to dehumanization, keep on hating.  The more you hate, the easier it is to kill.  The easier it is to kill, the odds of your survival increase.  Soldiers and cops use dehumanizing techniques as a matter of course ( “let’s go kill us some gooks and towel heads and slopes and dinks and commies and goat humpers”, “all civilians are stupid sheep and potential criminals and all POTENTIAL criminals are douche bags, scumbags and liars” ).

*

And soldiers and cops have no problem killing you.  They might initially freeze up from stress in a fight or flight brain chemical dump, but as you have already been dehumanized the desire to kill you is already there even if the means to do so must be On The Job trained for.  You can achieve that slight edge in combat yourself ( the edge being the one who hesitates the least ) by simply starting to hate everybody.

*

And hating everyone starts with a decrease in optimism and a huge exponential jump in pessimism.  Now, granted, the first time you are violently humped, you will not only lose all your optimism, you will add huge feelings of betrayal to your tool chest.  But will you survive, in general, being that optimistic?  I don’t even know if it is possible to switch voluntarily from pessimism to optimism or vises versa.  We might all be wired how we are, and only pain turns you pessimistic.  You can give yourself permission to hate, but will you believe it?  I’ve always been dour and moody, except perhaps for up to twelve hours after getting laid ( then you return to cynical and hateful as you realize that could be the last time ), but I have gone from far less pessimistic to way, way more after a lifetime of being humped.

*

If we stay as we were wired, all that means is that you’ll always be optimistic, but as time passes it just becomes harder to lie to yourself.  And if you are naturally pessimistic, you just add to your distrust.  I’m not sure how much pessimism and optimism is nature and how much is nurture.  But the thing I do know is the more you hate, the more ready you are for the apocalypse.  You want to view life as rainbows and unicorns, you’ll be one of the first in the stewpot.

*

Repeat after me.  I Hate You All.  You All Suck.  Stupid Humps!  You’re All Dumb Asses.  Direct at anyone and everyone.  Then, keep your sense of humor.  Because as much as you think you hate everyone, they will still surprise you being much worse than you can possibly imagine.  And then that is a joke on you!

  1. While I can get along with just about anybody, my tolerance for everybody is short, like maybe about 2 hours. srsly I can't stand to be around even my wife for more than about 2 hours, or my best friend.

    I didn't used to be this way but eventually became so as I gradually became aware of the cost of friendship. Everybody knows about the cost of enemies but the cost of friends and family is even worse because it comes with lots of social baggage that prevents you from jettisoning it.

    Say, for example, each year your wife requires you to attend major holiday functions with her family even though you can't stand any of them. For us that is christmas time and after about 2 hours I start taking frequent breaks and just go outside to get some air and clear my head. After 10 mins outside I can tolerate another 1/2 hour with the idiots. But after 6 hours total I have to get the hell out of there.

    To a lesser degree my wife is the same way so she never gives me any shit about it. Her tolerance for my family is probably less than mine for hers.

    I'm just more comfortable by myself and rarely get bored. I have created an empire over a long period of time so that I am never bored for long. I have lots of enjoyable stuff to do, cause that's what I like. This is all my stuff! And I like it. Being away from the compound is being away from my stuff and that's like being away from me. Disconnected, an alien in a strange world, when I leave the compound.

    It's much easier to kill with a drone or a high powered scope. The farther you are physically from your target the more detached you are. It's like detaching the emotional aspect.

    This is why I have always thought your idea of a bayonet as a back up weapon is a farce. When it comes right down to it you'll puss out and get killed. For me, if I must kill it will be at great distance and then the last bullet is for the side of my head. I know my limitations.

    Lastly, I consider religious people that believe in imaginary superheros have mental disorders and like everyone else prone to fits of insanity must be kept under observation and never turn your back on them. "Logic has limits but insanity is unlimited."

    1. On the bayonet: once you start using the thing, you'll be a seasoned fighter. In theory. It isn't ideal, it is BTN. But I also know my limitations, and carrying a bunch of extra gear isn't feasible. Neither is long distance shooting, for me.

      Delete
    2. The trick to doing long distance accurate shooting is to detach the rifle from the human as much as possible. Ideally the only human part to touch the gun is the trigger finger. Everything else is locked down. My AR for instance has a bipod so the front is basically stationary as it sits on the shooting table. My right side is tight up against the edge of the table and my right arm is planted on the table. The only thing that moves is my right index finger. And my breathing, which I have learned to control. It takes practice. Best to do it with one other person that can watch and give tips. Once you get to this level, which doesn't take long, you can start to see variances in the ammo itself, even among the bullets from the same box. Factory mass made ammo has variances you can't really see when just plinking around.

      Didja see that guy recently that beat the old distance record? Don't remember exactly but it was more than 3 miles. They said the bullet flew for more than 14 seconds. Took him 6 shots to hit the target and I believe the caliber was .408.

    3. Hell, I think anything just over 1k yards is impressive enough. Must have been one heck of a scope at that distance.

    4. Shooting well at any range is all about concentration on nothing but aiming. Your body can automatically do all else necessary with the weapon, without your mind
      Consciously engaged. The mind can actively only concentrate on one thing at a time. That one thing must be aim only , nothing else. Training and repetion will make all else automatic.
      Easy peasy to be a marksman , following those simple rules.
      Eyesight ,while important, does not need be perfect focus to shoot accurately. If you aim only , the mind can compensate

    5. Remember that movie with Bruce Willis and, I believe, Jack Black? Day Of The Jackel? The rifle was on a tripod and aimed/moved electronically. I need one of those.

    2. Wow! This guy is an embarrassment! The state of Oklahoma never did anything worry of having him as not only a resident but a teacher. He says solar and wind don't deliver enough energy, and then completely ignores EROI on fracking oil! What a humpwit. Yes, genius, we are now almost pumping as much now as we were in 1970 at our Peak. And almost every gallon is FAR lower in net energy. 1970 was almost all sweet conventional. Today it is high crap Alaskan, deep water Gulf, fracking and Canadian tar sands ( which need nat gas to process ). The article had over 300 comments, and I'm sure all of this was brought up, but I didn't want to wade through THAT. The takeaway? Some people should not be allowed to breath our air.

    3. Correction, state of OK never did anything WORTHY, not worry. I got a bit excited.

    4. i read that article and wondered if you could be wrong-- but that is not possible, is it.

    5. I'm wrong plenty of times. Just not enough to detract from my wonderful hair. Peak Oil is one of my strong areas. Sorry. Fracking oil is a huge joke. No one has made any money on it in ten years, the volume will go down shortly and the net energy is so low it only keeps our transportation fuel volume from declining more. It is important, and bought us time, but it is no solution.

      Delete
    6. When I orignally read that article I was thinking EROI too. I posted to make sure my conclusion was the same as Great Lord Bison. Thank you for confirming my initial thoughts. More oil doesn’t equal the same btus. Different grades have different properties and the article didn’t distinguish that important detail. I praise your hair.

    7. My only claim to fame here was that I read so many damn books related to Peak Oil I actually remember a lot of useless facts-and usually I suffer from CRS. Well, my hair is my other claim to fame...

  3. “Liberals are so optimistic that they think petroleum comes from the gooey Earth center, that Love will solve all problems”


    Most of the one’s that I’ve encountered seem to have this totally unrealistic fantasy that “technology will save us”. This probably comes from watching too much of that wretched star trek television show (That show seems to have singlehandedly created an awful lot of unrealistic ideas about the future, in an awful lot of people). They can’t grasp the concept of technology or not, you simply can’t create something from nothing, to the tune of satisfying 8 billion nothings.

    I tried to find it more recently, but there is a list out there somewhere that shows the breakdown of gallons of petroleum required per manufactured item (ex: 20 gallons per computer; hypothetical, I made that up, and don’t know the actual amount off the top of my head). Without oil, at best, we could only hope for a return to a 19th century agrarian society. And since we know that most liberals would rather be dead than live in such a society, it’s a win win :D

  6. "they will still surprise you being much worse than you can possibly imagine." A great amount of wisdom was spoken in that partial sentence. The "Idaho survivalist" group are going to be in for a surprise, it ain't gonna' end well. I have read that in a conventional old school war China could overwhelm any Army by shear numbers, think about 1500 gang types showing up at your place, even without guns they can just take the losses and swarm your position.

      Ahh, now I understand the significance of the compound folks having that flame thrower in the road warrior :D But in all seriousness, it would be handy to have one of those suckers. Your retreat should have narrow passages to and from, as to concentrate the invaders to one area, to maximize damage. I’ve been thinking lately that I will develop a really simple riot gun. It will be a muzzleloader, because the bore will be so big that there are no shells made for it. I’m thinking something like a 1.5” or 2” bore, 6oz to 8oz oz of shot in a charge, backed around 200 grains or so of blackpowder. One shot, and multiple dead, peppered, or severely damaged bad guys, and the flame and enormous roar will probably frighten the remainder to death. It will be cheap to produce and small like a blunderbuss, so you could easily carry a spare with you. You wouldn’t shoulder such a weapon.

    6. I don’t actually know, but the stump remover was pure potassium nitrate, and was around $10 for around a gallon container. With the other stuff, I don’t know the percentage of nitrate, or whether or not it would have to be processed in some way? You pose a good question, but you just caught me with my pants down (that’s only a good thing when you’re Richard Simmons :D ).

    7. Anon 631. Look into punt guns.
      Just what ur looking for.

      Delete
    8. @2:44PM, thanks. Yes, I’m aware of the punt guns, and sort of had a hybrid between the punt gun and the blunderbuss in mind when I posted. The original blunderbuss guns were usually a 4ga (For those that do not understand the gauge system, the smaller the number, the larger the bore; hence a 4ga is larger than a 12ga). You can still get the blunderbuss reproductions, but they’re expensive. My concoction will be very simple and cheap. The idea is one shot, massive damage. And the empty vessel doubles as a pipe club (similar to Jim’s bayonet philosophy).

      Delete
    9. "similar to Jim’s bayonet philosophy". Thank you! I wasn't sure anyone was listening. One is none should apply to weapons also. Not in how many, but in how many uses.

      Delete
    10. On second thought, if you don’t need portability, and just wish to have something for the retreat, a punt gun is the ticket for repelling large mobs. You typically wouldn't shoulder something like this (see video below, and it becomes apparent as to why). The early waterfowl market hunters usually just rested them in the bottom of the boat, or against the blind in some way, and pointed them in the general direction of the flock. Something tells me that one shot from one of these, and witnessing several of your comrades drop right before your very eyes, would be heavily demoralizing for the bad guys trying to storm your retreat :D

  7. With Lee Ermey's passing and reading this post, I had to think of one of the few parts of "Full Metal Jacket" that didn't border on the absurd.

    You wrote, "So to return to dehumanization, keep on hating. The more you hate, the easier it is to kill. The easier it is to kill, the odds of your survival increase."

    Sgt. Hartmann said, " It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is the hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and stong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead Marines..."

    Suppposedly Lee wrote a lot of his own dialogue. He'd speak things that a DI might say, and Kubrik's secretary would type it up for Kubrik to read...I wonder if Lee wrote that bit.

    3. Muzzle-loading cannon are not subject to tax stamps if they don't use shells(20mm belt-box-fed autocannon towed behind the truck is going to need a permit/taxstamp from Uncle in the current regime). That's how you take care of 1500 gangbangers who somehow appear at your remote Idaho fort-castle, not starving/dehydrated & ready to fight for your freeze-dried #10's/MRE's and blonde daughters. Multiple crew-served cannon per position = so many dead you stack them like cordwood in pre-dug trenches. Rifles are to defend the cannon positions. Fictional on so many levels.

      Delete
    4. Damn, now I want cannon. Stage a tax protest, then open up on the command tent and vehicle park when the feds show up. Of course, then you need anti-aircraft. Perhaps I should just be content with a Blooper grenade launcher taking out trespassers at the B-POD.

  8. I refuse to hate people as individuals - I just acknowledge that they will only be as kind as they can afford to be in light of their own self interests, which may well be contrary to my interests.
    People as a group? "Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. " - Men in Black the movie.
    So as long a person isn't harmed by it they can be very kind and nice and generous - should it cost them too much (in some way) then they will cut off the niceness in a heartbeat, and if harming you profits them, they will be sad about it or justify it in some manner but screw you over with only a little pause at most. As a group people are herd mentality. If you are in the herd you must go with the herd, if you are not in the herd then you are to be used for the herd or destroyed by the herd (but not by any individual - of course not they are nice! at least in their own minds).
