most honorable rice 2


MOST HONORABLE RICE 2
Just as Napoleon derided the English as “a bunch of shopkeepers”, impugning their martial powers, today you see a lot of the “Chinese have a long tradition of being merchants, where cheating customers is seen as normal and expected”.  This implies that ‘Murican’s are special and wonderful and will program drones to shoot all those cheating lying commie bastards.  Of course, Russian Jews over in Israel are probably programming the computers now, but you don’t let facts get in the way of good state propaganda, now do you?  Trash talking Others makes your dysfunctional empire look better.
*
Let us not overlook WHY the Chinese are such good little merchants.  The Chinese go back almost before anyone else with big daddy government, paper currency and taxes paid in said currency.  How else are you going to keep your head? You need money, you engage in the consumer economy on the supply side.  The system has obviously been successful, enabling large armies and an overseas network of commerce and trade that both sends money back home, is a safety valve for domestic overpopulation, and doubles as a military spy network.  Those wily Chinese outlasted the French and the Americans.
*
So, you could say that government greed and built in corruption and ineptitude built a long lasting economic empire, and it has proven far more durable than any military one.  By crafting this culture, any governmental shortcomings can be overcome and compensated for.  Recovery to a functioning society is quicker and more assured.  I’m sure all the Libertarian folk will be dropping deuces in their drawers at any suggestion that any government intrusion has any positive effect.  I simply see a cultural adaptation to constant overpopulation and resource overexploitation.  It seems to work well for them, long term.
*
As the NSA makes the Statsi look like a bunch of chin drooling imbecilic slackers, and as we all look up startled with bovine glazed over inattention at the very mention that an ‘Murican citizen can be detained indefinitely without charges, I’m sure that the suggestion that any culture is freer than ours simply confuses you.  But in a lot of ways those countries with functional intact cultures are superior to ours with a supposed freedom granted by an overreaching federal government.  What I’m hinting at is that we are indeed our own rice culture, rather than a Yeoman European one.
*
Look out your window, and what do you see?  Asphalt.  Power lines.  Your proud sheet metal chariot.  All using imported oil.  Are you going to try to tell me that these are any different than centralized government built rice paddies?  You can act as macho as you wish and posture as much as you’d like, but you are individually completely impotent and completely dependent on Big Daddy Gov.  Your individual power was broken by New England merchants building factories to replace your muscles, your local government and now your gender.  Your guns are at the mercy of their factories.
*
And before you go all half cocked over how you are free and independent, consider your neighbors.  They are not, so neither are you.  They will see to that.  You as a prepper are independent and capable of SHORT term disruptions, but the systems and institutions surrounding you are centralist and collectivist and you are a mere island in a sea.  You may not be dependent on that overseas oil, but the millions around you are.  Their enslavement becomes your defacto one.  You must abide by the system or be crushed by it.  So yes, you share the system.
*
By everyone being dependent on the system, everyone complies.  There has been no rebellion for freedom against a very unfree government because everyone is dependent of that rice paddy providing food.  If you bribe the government you get to eat.  Now, don’t take that as a criticism.  THAT is just reality.  Humans are collectivists.  From your fellow tribes members up to the Chinese super state.  You ALWAYS bribe the collective to eat.  In a tribe, you pledge unthinking loyalty with your body as collateral.  In a mega  collective you pledge your earnings and partial health.
*
Yes, we’ve talked about this.  Belonging to a tribe sees you as a member and an equal partner whereas a government sees little value in preserving your life.  Tribe is a much better organization, and the eating is usually better ( BBQ verses rice gruel ).  BUT.  You are still never free.  Males must be willing to die in combat and females must be willing to subvert reproduction choices to the group.  It is a preferable sacrifice, but you NEVER get to be a group of free will individuals.  That is simply unicorn dreams.  You want group strength you defer to the group.
*
We all bitch and moan like little girls about our freedom, then happily auction it off in exchange for luxuries like food security.  We complain a few pieces of paper or a philosophy aren’t allowed to provide us our freedom, then refuse to fight for those rights.  You don’t get to pretend you are more noble and righteous than I, when neither of us fight for our rights.  I’m just more aware why I’ll never get that freedom.  I like my rice gruel, or I’d be in the mountains eating tree bark and stealing government convoy supplies.
*
Fables and legends are necessary to form the narrative we wish to follow.  There is nothing wrong with having the impossible to follow stories of noble Minutemen or ghosts of Confederate guerrillas.  But how you use them is important.  If they are motivators and teachers, or if they are just fantasies covering inaction.  I’m not claiming we can survive without bribing the builders of the rice paddies.  I’m just saying you are a bitch in prison yet somehow think you are a guard, the warden or even the governor. Free your mind first, grasshopper.

    I read TWENTY-EIGHT DAYS, then went to review it. Amazon claims I don't "meet their arbitrary changeable-at-a-whim minimum requirements".

    Mister Wilson, I enjoyed your short-story. This example encourages me to look for more of your work.

    Amazon, not so much. They're probably infested with former-female mystery-meats, each now going by the name 'Xir' or 'they' or some other nonsense. FFS.

    1. I haven't reviewed anything for some time-kind of fell by the wayside for other priorities.

  2. Damn. You just had to go and link kung fu, didn't you. Now all I can picture is a bug eyed 72 year old dude, swinging from a rope in a Thai hotel closet, while choking the chicken. Try getting that image out of your head :D

    1. Has it been more than a week since that topic originally came up? Not sure if I came up with the last article sentence on my own or I was subconciously channeling after I heard of the actors demise ( remember I post one week in advance ).

    2. Yes, it's been barely a week and I had finally scrubbed that mental vision out of my head of that dood swingin, cept anon forgot about the 14" blue vibrating dildo with only 2" sticking out of that ass, batteries still workin it when they found him. shiver

    3. Here in the land of the free I have not spent even my minute of my entire almost 64 year old life as a free man and most likely never will. Someone else always thinks they're in charge of me, especially my property.

      Forced dependency is normally called kidnapping.
      I only go with the flow because I don't want to get killed.
      I keep my participation in this horrifying gang of thieves as minimal as possible. It will be the grandest day in human history when it finally fails.

    4. The 21st , so a tad over a week. The first rule of biology club. A fitting title if there there ever was one. And I’m still mildly upset with you :D

    5. The Kung Fu Death By A Thousand Anal Vibrators is one of those info bits I listen to, but I don't hear it. I choose to not fully absorb the information, so as to avoid its full impact. Luckily I can do that with some things still. See, I kept the TV show in mind, not the actor ( or even his later works such as Kill Bill ). Small favors. GS-that is what I do with our captivity. I can tune out some of the worst of it. I think we all do it on a lot of things. Sometimes I can a whole week without hating the ex-wife, or even a whole day forgetting the last boss. It helps to stay busy and distracted, right?

    6. Right. I wonder if Manson thought the whole world was insane and he was the only person that was sane?

      My life-long criminal younger brother once stole a bike that was lying in a yard as he walked by on his way to my place. I asked him why he stole it and he said, "If I didn't someone else would have." As Robin Williams once said, and I now believe he was an authority, "Life is much more exciting when you have 1 wheel in the sand."

    7. I think Manson thought he was doing good by trying to incite revolution. I don't think the Deep State was trying very hard to pretend it wasn't doing the exact same thing. Like when the neo-Cons were helping our economy stay on its war footing. Empire surely has its advantages to us all ( they might have underestimated the danger of nukes, of course ). If the bankers don't take their profit for hookers and blow, "someone else would have". No one thinks they are evil, right?
