BARTER TOWN 2

HISTORY

In the introduction we already covered how the cultural expectation went from group unity to individual profiteering.  Yes, it’s a shame and no, there is nothing you can do to alleviate that paradigm shift.   Nowadays, if you play nice you get screwed.  So even if you aren’t a “screw-er” you at least make sure you are screwed as little as possible.  Which means come the collapse you give everybody else NOTHING.  Anyone that tells you that you should involve yourself in charity has several screws loose.  One, the Blue Helmeted UN Occupation, rebellion and reformation is a retarded fantasy ( or a deliberate attempt at fleecing the rubes-I leave you to decide the motivation for such a scenario that passes for mass motivation.  Yes, it nicely bypasses a 99% die-off and five hundred year Dark Age, but it completely ignores energy decline and overpopulation ) because it assumes quick turnaround on your disaster AND business as usual until a quick collapse.  And two, it takes biblical dictates of behavior and confuses them for human nature.

*

I understand that you WANT to believe the bible, that if we are all Christian we can reform along tribal lines and be a unified nation once again.  That is a very nice goal, and it makes a lot of bible thumpers a lot of money to sell this vision, but it does not align with reality.  In times of resource depletion man turns against man ( and if you have something he needs but are the same loving peaceful religion, he’ll just play the Doctrine Card to find an excuse to smite your ass and will take your goods ).  Here is the presented biblical injunction towards charity as it is taught: I’ll secretly give food to my church who will, under the protection of Christian Militia member bad boys armed with FLIR scope AR-15’s, distribute to the needy.  And now here is what is really going to happen:  one person doesn’t eat/stash their supplies quick enough and is detained down the road, tortured to reveal the source after a bandit notices congregations of Skinny’s.  If the bandit is smart he recon’s for the next Super Secret Drop-Off, kidnaps that person ( more security is at the church than the resupply convoy ), and tortures them for their location and that of his fellow Christian Militia members, picking them off separately.  Even if you only gave ONCE, you still face the problem that you gave up your own supplies that you’ll need down the road because the collapse is going to be longer and more severe than you thought.

*

So, obviously, you don’t want to be the solitary party to revert to sharing in a pre-collapse lack of social cohesion atmosphere, during the die-off when it is dog eat dog or shortly afterwards when tribes are still being violently formed.  I hope it is clear enough that individual greed is now normal and the only strategy you should employ.  It has been that way for fifty years now ( about the length of our so-far slow collapse if you factor in social disintegration as our imperial army lost the field as the beginning rather than the official ’71 start date of our Peak Oil ).  Greed is the survival strategy financially those five decades, and soon it will be for your very life.  So there was your obvious birth of post-apocalypse barter.  But the birth was pretty innocent at its inception.  Stockpile industrial age goods that cannot be duplicated and are relatively cheap.  Sewing needles, matches, razor blades, toothbrushes, fish hooks, paperback books and the like.  You weren’t out much money and you wouldn’t really screw anyone over trading your surplus with their surplus.  But it didn’t take long for that to degenerate.

*

Soon, post-apocalyptic barter strategies started sounding like we were opening a convenience store.  It became all about stocking the vices.  Coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, batteries ( electronic habits ), chocolate.  There isn’t really anything inherently wrong with that strategy, although at heart you are showing your merciless fangs.  You are a stronger far more morally grounded individual who can laugh in the face of temptation and so you don’t need these reprehensible health risking items so the weaklings you despise will have to pay out the wazoo to acquire their poisons.  Even the weak willed children are tempted with candy and comfort foods ( the chocolate was for the menstruating gals, not necessarily the children.  Stock plenty of hard candy for them! ).  This is no different than how most of the economy works today so few people see a problem with it.  And the reason you see no problem with it is that not only is it normal, you can’t fathom how it can work differently.

*

Private property is our new far more powerful religion that trumps God.  If God is given any attention at all it is usually to condone or even demand increased wealth to be pure in his eyes ( when the rich use religion.  Look at the supposedly Body Is A Temple LDS’ers.  I think only Elk member Baptists are more dedicated to getting rich.  When the poor use religion it is a coping mechanism to deal with the rich screwing them ).  If you trash talk private property in any way, shape or form you are accused of being a communist.  But private property was invented after agriculture was, and it protects the owner of land and the slaves he uses to work it.  Only recently have the poor benefited from private property, during the heyday of the Oil Age boom, and those days are done.  Mankind evolved to live in equalitarian tribes small in numbers, hunting and gathering.  Food was shared because that was a survival strategy.  Yet today sharing is socialism, and it is definitely NOT a survival strategy for farmers who need private property to survive.  The problem isn’t sharing or hoarding, it is agriculture itself.  Which unfortunately will never become a genie you can shove back in the bottle.  Continued.

barter town

BARTER TOWN

INTRO

Survival barter has a long and sorted history.  It’s roots stretch deep, back to the birth of our consumer culture, after we went from apocalypse social renewal to individual survival pods.  Prior to barter being such a big deal, the de facto strategy was for Corporation Man to head for the public shelters or his own suburban shelter as the Evil Soviets rained nuclear bombs upon our amber waves of grain.  After all the working Whites and other middle class folk ( read: not no Darkies ) survived as God himself intended ( note to newbies: please read with heavy sarcasm ), we would all emerge and dust off the farm field radiation with our John Deere’s, and go back to being all Leave It To Beaver rich and culturally pure.  It was a nice time to be alive, not too many people and a clear enemy to unite us and oodles and gobs of stuff to build to sell to the rest of the world we had the wealth to loan money to so they could be good customers.  Every man had a soul crushing job and every woman popped pills to alleviate the boredom a houseful of appliances makes of housework.  The TV and public schools raised the kids and convenience frozen and caned foods fed them and it was as close to the Jetson’s as you could get except for the flying cars.

*

Everyone looks back on horror at that quarter century social experiment, but I’d certainly take boredom masked by alcoholism, conformity with lack of soul over our version which is mind numbing screen watching to mask boredom, conformity in our universal non-conformity which means no social cohesion, and a likewise empty soul.  Why do we think we’ve gained any intelligence, awareness or wisdom just because we have a diversity of propaganda to fool us unlike the centralized source of yesteryear?  The same few companies control our media just like back then, the only difference being lack of journalism now ( replaced by InfoTainment, so much cheaper to manufacture ).  You might have a million bloggers giving you news from a different bias but nobody really knows what is going on so infinite news is no better than the limited variety for purposes of enlightenment.  The one thing we had up until the late ‘60’s or early ‘70’s we don’t have now that made the difference was social cohesion.  Japan still has it because they refuse to pollute their gene pool with outsiders, so why do you wonder they can be capable of great things nationally?  Social cohesion allowed Germans a great shot at world domination, and if it wasn’t for too many strategic blunders it might have happened.  For good or ill, a society acting closer along quasi-tribal lines gets far more accomplished.

*

Americans still think we are great, hubris on such a scale it was eclipsed only by Romans believing they were still the greatest empire in the known universe even as barbarians were approaching the gates of the capital, but Americans don’t act as a national group but only as selfish individuals intent on their own salvation only.  Rewards without responsibility and you might think it a bit of a stretch to equate post-apocalypse barter planning with an empire disintegrating, but a nation going underground to survive, then emerging to help their neighbors,  they are not a nation of shopkeepers but rather a group ignoring lust and greed and focusing on sacrifice.  We went from shared sacrifice and shared spoils to insisting the other guy needed to sacrifice and that you alone were entitled to all the spoils.  The later rather than the former describes our entire culture.  Women sacrificing the children’s father for extra spending cash, employers sacrificing their workers futures for an extra bonus.  Families sacrificing their parents to the swamps of Florida to avoid babysitting the cranky incontinent humps, 15% of their paychecks a deal for the bargain.

*

 ( Social Security isn’t a benefit for older bastards but a cheap tax to get rid of them for today’s workers.  Somehow geriatrics think it is an old age welfare program, but it is supported by workers who know they will never see their cut because it gets rid of their parents.  Just like sky high property taxes and poor education is a great trade-off for getting rid of the kids all day so we can go to work in peace.  You don’t believe me?  Compare the cost of a senior care facility with the 15% of your wages that is SS.  Compare your property tax with what a child care facility charges.  We might not be able to articulate this cost/benefit analysis but in reality this is what our consent boils down to )

*

It was the death of the admittedly already thin thread of our cultural unity that was the first indicator of our collapse.  The moment surplus resources started contracting our social unity snapped.  We were never a very good nation state as it was, the split between north and south evident far before the Revolutionary war, never mind the Civil one, and the west nothing more than a public works program ( the original Entitlement Mentality held by the rich, then the poor got the entitlement scraps of desert, indigenous and white-ish immigrants alike ).  When there were no more colonial resources for the rich or public resources for the poor our only reason for getting along with each other evaporated.  It is just like a dysfunctional family who all hate each other sticking around for an inheritance, then finding out after all the bad investments and taxes there is nothing left and they can’t get away from each other fast enough after the announcement.  The announcement was made of no money, and we went our separate ways and began plotting how to screw over the other family members.  We became mercenaries rather than a tribe or a family.  Screw a unified response to disaster, I want to profit off of my neighbors lack of prior surplus!

*

And you know what?  I don’t even feel this is a bad attitude, just as you don’t.  That is the new normal attitude and we think it is a just norm.  Which it is, in a broken family or a broken society.  The fact we don’t feel bad about profiting off our neighbor in time of crisis proves we have been in a multigenerational collapse.  We justify it ( if a gas owner didn’t profiteer there would be no gas left ) because that is the cultural norm now ( greed is good ), but no matter how RIGHT it is, that is not how you endure as a cohesive group.  That is survival of the fittest, of the richest.  Not group survival. Continued tomorrow.

Being fat today carries a lot of stigma, even though really what you have are less fat people called fatter people too fat.  With the diets we are mostly forced into financially, not the fast food diet of old because that excuse flies about as well as the “the whole economy is going to crash and burn because we sell things online” one, which is to say it is feeble research carried on by feeble minds by people that shouldn’t say anything but never had anyone put a fist into their mouth to stop any garbage from leaking out and so because justified violence is never allowed anymore in our feminized cesspool of a society the rest of us have to listen to crap like that all the time, but rather diets consisting of food no matter how supposedly nutritious really carry very few and are more empty calories than anything else, it is hard to not be fat ( a body craves more nutrition so consumes more calories ).  The only people skinny enough to escape the label are those genetic rejects that actually confuse meat eating apes with rabbits, and they have such a superiority complex about making the wrong choice diet-wise that you want to run their lank corpselike body into a ditch and pummel them unmercifully but that would be unsportsmanlike in the extreme.

*

You know who else eats nothing but bunny food and doesn’t have an ounce of fat on them?  Ornamentals who evolved eating rice and vegetables since someone sometime back made a seemingly rational but ultimately unwise decision to take the Quantity Over Quality equation to its extreme, thinking vast armies of stick people were military advantageous.  They might be right, as the area hasn’t been as unduly overrun by invaders as Europe has, but I’m not sure why anyone would covet the location anyway.  History seems to favor the temperate to extreme climate dwellers over the tropical ones.  Not that I’m declaring to revisal of the “cold over hot climate racial superiority”, since Eskimo’s seem to be in no danger of overrunning the world ( and since half of China is cold ).  But there might be something to Fat Over Skinny superiority.  Fat is what you want from your females, giving them the advantage breeding, and enough fat to supplement muscle on a warrior can also be advantageous in most circumstances. 

*

We’ve lost sight of the advantages of fat for no other reason than bitches now be in charge, and bitches declared it is now fashionable to be skinny.  That was fine when it was propaganda directed at themselves, Girl Power in no way halting or slowing catty infighting and it is always every gal for herself and the fight to win the alpha male is relentless, but now gals demand that males should not only desire skinny bitches ( not that there is anything wrong with them if they got skinny the right way, like not eating every cheeseburger in sight, but evolutionarily, Darwinist Selection speaking, skinny does mean problematic breeding ) but that we should be skinny ourselves.  That is their only defense against superior body strength, to breed us into weakness, our slender frail rice eating looking body unable to knock the crap out of them when they go on Social Justice Warrior mode or kidnap the kids to get an extra paycheck.

*

And, sadly, this relentless propaganda has seeped into the Survivalist movement ( well, so has Yuppie Scum-ness, so it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise ).  Be skinny, we are told, not fat, else the masses of starving zombies will target you for your supplies!  Now, obviously when I speak of fat, I’m not talking about Pear People fat, which is all fat and no muscle.  I’m talking about fat enough to have endurance for prolonged battle, but not enough to kill you as you wheezily jiggle atop the couch playing Sony Playstation Call Of Duty Apocalypse Zombie Edition, your heart weakened by fried Twinkies and relentless masturbation.  Well, okay, speaking of pleasuring yourself, if you get to the point you have to move your stomach to fondle yourself, AND you most times would rather drink a Dr. Pepper and eat a Moon Pie instead of rubbing one off, you might just be too fat.

*

But otherwise, fat is good.  If you can retain fat ( a fat belly on a slim body does not count as that is just your ass having been sucked up and fronted at middle age ) then you have the body type that should do very well during an Apocalypse.  Being all muscle and no fat is just as bad as being no muscle and no fat.  Believe me, needing constant feeding because of a fast metabolism, almost needing to constantly wear a feedbag, is no friggin fun at all.  And come collapse it could even be dangerous.  If you keep fat on, you need only make sure it stays in reasonable range and thank your good fortune.  As for being an indicator after the collapse, I ask that you consider your location.  Why are you living amongst starving strangers?  That doesn’t sound like a very good strategy.  That sounds like a “bug-in” situation, ill advised for many reasons, chief among them is that crowds blow elongated engorged Rhino member.  You should be staying away from people.  Do you really think you want to smear yourself with diseased zombie intestines so you can go stumbling around in a crowd of them?

*

Fat is good for your tribe.  The skinny ones will probably die the first winter as they started out with so few less reserve calories ( obviously fat alone can’t get you through the winter-but it can be a decisive factor ), regardless of how skilled or valuable they think they are.  Us scrawny ones had best be stocking up on that Crisco now, and securing a source of fat for later, regardless.  And when you pick a gal with to raise post-Apocalypse children, pick a hefty one.  Do your kids a favor and put some damn permanent meat on their bones.  Skinny is desired by bitches flaunting their wealth ( or their husbands ) since they alone can afford a gym membership and much more nourishing food, along with non-quack doctors.  Don’t fall for their hype.

If blog bloviaters believe bitches gots rights because, hey, the FedGov said you do, until you don’t, and the gov get to decide, but no really honest injun you got rights because they said it first and No Take Backs!, then you aren’t understanding that no one has rights until you TAKE them.  Not ask for them, not plead or complain you don’t have them.  Take.  Might makes right and no amount of pouting will change that.  When I was a Libertardian I got all offended when I just heard about that book ( Might Makes Right by Redbeard )-I didn’t read it, mind you, just that I read the title.  That was how sensitive I was of my Natural Rights.  And you know what, you do have natural rights.  As soon as you force others to give them back to you.  Force, not fables.  So, those said bloggers are either full of crap sending you on a wild goose chase, preaching to the choir cause a brothers gots to gets paid, yo, or they secretly want you to start an armed rebellion and do all the work yourself, along with getting killed.  I say, hump them and hump everybody else.  Nobody is worthy of the sweat off your balls, let alone that on your brow.

*

They want their “rights” back, THEY can go to the barricades and fight for them.  Me, I prefer the guerrilla approach, not the militia one.  All those retreads in the militia movement are just little George Washington’s who want to line up their toy soldiers to get massacred in volley fire.  Hump you, George, you 1%er prick, if I even join your fight to keep my taxes rather than to send them overseas, I’ll do it the smart way, skulking about in the woods, using the trees for cover and then, then George you dingus sucking hump, if I want to go home I’ll go home and you can shove that Stop Loss crap up your ass you elitist royalist Anglophile twat.  I aim to be a real Army Of One, not some casualty to your dog in the fight.  If I really thought I had a right to be unmolested by the army of occupation, which we have been under for generations, I could either suck it up and kiss their asses, or I could pop a cap in the humpers head that screwed with me earlier when he didn’t expect it ( after I acted like I was submissive ).  But I wouldn’t whine to others to do that for me.  And I’m not planning on doing that now, because our occupation forces have bribed the entire population to conspire against me and inform on me and screw me for a few pieces of fake silver.  You don’t wage a guerrilla campaign without the consent and support of the population, unless you plan on waging war against that population also ( Viet Cong style-just keep in mind that while the VC didn’t have the SOUTH Vietnamese peoples support, it had the NORTH Vietnamese peoples support, along with the Chinese peoples support ).

*

As long as the people are bribed to love their occupiers and oppressors, the people will hate YOU.  How dare you endanger their paycheck, for something as silly as freedom?  So, protesting you have rights will either get you ignored or targeted.  Fighting for your rights conventionally will get you killed by the army.  Fighting guerrilla style will get you killed as the whole population turns you into the army.  But if you fight alone, not for a popular cause, not joining a untested group, you can fight guerrilla STYLE.  A better description would be, as a bushwhacker.  You aren’t part of A Rebel Alliance.  You stand alone.  You think a group confers strength but it merely becomes a target and, remember, the group is endangered by its weakest member.  By going solo you also get around that pesky problem of how to react when they start herding you onto the buses bound for the crematorium at the concentration camp. 

*

Don’t get blinded by the Victorious Allied propaganda.  The British are the ones who used concentration camps in the Boar War to do nothing more than starve and kill people.  The Nazi’s used concentration camps as forced labor centers, which then killed the people and sent them up in smoke.  There is actually a difference.  At least with the Nazi’s you had a chance to make it to the end if you could keep working.  The Brits just herded women and children behind wire and let them die from famine and disease.  They might have been White, but stealing the Other Whites gold and trying to stop the Anglicization of Africa made them mere Wogs, and Wog bitches and babies were just there for bayonet practice anyway.  Our elite masters might employ either one of the tactics to stay in control, depending on circumstances.  If they need petroleum substitutes, they were work you until you die.  If they just want to punish any rebels by killing off their families, you get the quicker death.  Either way, you don’t want to get on the damn bus.

*

But nobody is going to join you in an armed attempt to stop the concentration camps from being erected, either.  The population at large wants the camps to go up, to keep their paychecks rolling in just a bit longer.  Gotta crush that dissent that stops the government from delivering the raw supplies to keep the banks in profit and the drones in work.  You must anticipate the bus and be proactive.  Have a fallback plan to protect your family, as our Federal masters are going to use them against you, and then get going on doing all that you can to crush the ability of those in control to stay in power.  Don’t worry about WHO is going to usurp control.  That just screws you up and diverts attention and forces you to JOIN, and that is a four letter word when it comes to surviving a dictatorship or an immediate die-off ( you only join after those two things ).  Just break crap and eliminate manpower.  Stop the infrastructure.  Today, going along to get along is mandatory, but once the buses start rolling it is time to fight back.  At that point you are dead anyway.  But the main point here is that you don’t start fighting too early.  Then you have no chance to make a difference ( damn, I think that was pretty darn good.  If I ever start writing fiction again I think that would be a great story ).

Let’s play a little game.  Let’s say that you are an average female, not petite but not Super Sized either, call it 140 pounds.  Most of your weight is the fat in your ass and chest ( which is a good thing.  If it was all in your thighs with nary an ounce up top you would be a hideously deformed Pear Person that could only get laid at 2AM.  No offense! ) and not in muscle.  You secretly have a thing for Bad Boys and your current boyfriend gets your motor running, especially when you go to the bar and he kicks ass and takes names.  But then, surprisingly!, one day he starts to beat on you when you get lippy about something or other.  You are an Independent Women and you aren’t going to play the abused game blaming yourself or sticking around for too long, so you aren’t a total dumbass.  The second time you see the strike coming ( the first was a complete surprise ), so you have time to think and react.  Here are your choices.  You get all righteous and tell him he ain’t got no damn right!  You say “hump this”, turn around and run.  You let him hit you so you can have outrageous orgasms during make up sex.

If you picked number one or number three, you ARE a dumbass.  Stupid is as stupid does, people.  Here is another example.  You work for a real jerk.  He isn’t incompetent because his job isn’t to know about the industry you work for but to keep the Cubical Warriors in line and increasing production.  It doesn’t help that he doesn’t know your job because he doesn’t understand the limitations you are under, but you understand that all jobs have bosses that unrealistically expect you to suspend the laws of physics and do the impossible, not just everyday but every hour.  You are a typical worker drone with a wife who would financially slaughter you in a divorce, kids, debt up to your eyeballs and no hope of ever getting off the paycheck treadmill because of all the above.  One day, the boss, being his usual dick-ness, starts berating another coworker unmercifully.  Nothing new, right?  But then the jerk decides it is your turn, and you are the floors most productive worker!  This is bullspit!  Here is what you can do.  You can jump up, tell him to shove it up his ass because you didn’t do anything wrong and stand up for your rights.  Or, you just lets him vent his spleen because that is just how he is, needing to assert dominance.  Or, lastly, you decide that you are going to work overtime and save money and move to another company, betting the next boss MIGHT not be so bad.  Again, only the middle option is the smart move.  One or three, you are a dumbass.

*

One more.  You are celebrating the New Year just a little too hard, alcohol flowing freely to blunt the pain of a bastard boss and a bitch wife, stumble out of the bar to make your way to the next watering hole ( because, when you are drunk you always figure that the booze tastes better and you’ll meet a better class of drunks in ANOTHER bar ) and you take a wrong turn into a dark alley.  You aren’t at the Too Stupid To Live stage of inebriation just yet and so when a trio of unsavory ghetto dweller corner you and demand your wallet, backing up the demand with banished firearms, you find yourself with three choices.  One, yell at them that they ain’t got NO damn right to assault you because your money is your property.  Two, meekly hand it over and throw in your watch to garner goodwill.  Three, try to run away.  Again, only the middle answer is correct.  If you chose option one or three, you are a dumbass.

*

And yet.  The BlogOsphere is full of righteous indignation over government abuse of its power.  The old bastard getting dragged off the airplane has now prompted articles showcasing other abuses such as forced waste sampling and other really nasty, gross, humiliating instances of abuse.  You are then advised that only by standing up for your rights may we end these abuses.  Yes!  Mine Gott In Hemmel, YES!   Stand UP to these outrages my brethren!  Your rights may NOT be questioned!  Rebel against the unjustness!

*

Ah, NO.  Just kidding.  You are a dumbass if you think you have rights and can protect them by not allowing them to proceed without protesting.  What?  Are you a hippie?  You think we are in the Flower Power era where you had a right to protest?  How did that work out for them?  Does GOTT DAMN Kent State ring a bell, you moronic fecal smear!?!?  The government said, in effect, oops, our bad, we’ll try to keep the casualties down next time.  The hippies got water cannon to the face and attack dogs to the groins, and STILL our rights were taken away more and more year after year.  Babies still got barbequed after all the protests.  You have NO rights, because we as a society have NO balls.  If you can’t put a gun to the head of a bully, he will still torment you.  I am NOT advocating armed rebellion here.  I’m as much of a pussy as you are.  What I am saying is that only force grants you rights.  Not the pinky promise of your imperial masters. 

*

Blog writers who insist you have rights and invoke that you should insist on and protest for them are either hypocrites who call for a fight from a place of safety, dumb asses who confuse having a right conceded with having a right forced, or are blithering idiots who confuse a fantasyland full of glittery unicorns with the real world.  I’ll confess to being a dumbass in the past, that Libertarian horse hockey BS running through my dulled mind ( just getting over being an alcoholic, and younger with an even higher dose of hormones, it is a wonder I could think at all and little surprise I fell for the Liberty Movement Through Peace schtick ).  Thankfully for my rationality and reasoning I was beat about the head and shoulders with a Reality Stick, and now I’m All Good, Dawg!  Beware dumbass advice from any quarter.  Continued and completed tomorrow.

solution 2

I GOT YOUR SOLUTION HANGING 2

So, humans are basically wired to kill off competition to resources by being the first to utilize those resources to gain military dominance.  One strategy being to outbreed the other tribe.  One wonders if that is the second half of the Female Promiscuity puzzle ( the first more important half being partner retention for long term child rearing ), but I shan’t sidetrack on that one.  Long term, this works because if you have a 10% numbers advantage, you wipe out the enemy and then gain the total 150% resource base ( if it was a 200% base, both your tribes could coexist, but being less means someone has to die so one tribe can have their 100%, plus enough to keep the military advantage.  Preppers please note.  We are in a LESS than 100% per population unit resource base which guarantees conflict.  Also note, we suck much more than you think militarily ).  Until you don’t because you ALWAYS overpopulate and outstrip the resources.  It can be NO OTHER WAY!!!! Our hardwired behavior dictates it, just as it does for every other animal species.  It doesn’t matter how opposed to that you are intellectually, IN PRACTICE that is how the victors act.

*

And by the way, this is how capitalism pretty much works.  The companies who steal the resources by murdering the original owners and can produce products from those resources the cheapest win the game of victory or dominance.  Capitalism proponents like to pretend there is some Adam Smith/Ayn Rand love fest going on where everyone is only being benevolently selfish, but at base it is all about resource control just like the tribes that survive.  So if you are all like, gross dude, when it comes to anything smacking on socialism you are unknowingly proving this point, that killing off the competition for resources is the NATURAL order of the universe.  Not that capitalism is natural economically, tribal non-profit is, but that in economics capitalism is the closest to our natural opportunistic predator behavior.

*

So any “solution” which goes contrary to human nature is not a solution in practice but mental masturbation.  You can’t preface solutions with “if we change our nature, we can…”.  It doesn’t work like that.  That is like those moronic Politically Correct douche bags insisting the human species physical differences don’t exist despite evidence to the contrary you witness every day ( “honey, can you open this jar for me?  Take out the trash?  Move this heavy ass pile of lumber?” ).   But remember what I said about systematic solutions verses individual ones?  Systematic problems always have individual solutions.  NOT social or group ones.  When you react individually there is no ulterior profit motives or dominance issues screwing up the best course of action.  Even something more than an individual solution is problematic.  If your family is acting democratically, you’ve just introduced group dynamics to the solution seeking process.  Only a benevolent dictatorship works for the family in this case.  And a “survival group”?  Just a smaller group, but still NOT in the interest of the individuals.

*

Of course, individual concerns must subordinate to group needs, but that presupposes that the group has your welfare in mind as the best solution to its welfare.  In a tribal structure where warriors are the primary male occupation ( of course food production/procurement is a important secondary, but ideally that should enhance the primary skill set to be the most effective blend ), we naturally bond and cooperate and nobody sacrifices without reward.  In a less tribal structure, the individual welfare becomes secondary and you no longer have an advantage of belonging to a group.  And a Survival Group transcends tribal structure.  Think about it.  Nobody acts tribal economically, but more capitalistically.  There is private property, to begin with, and tribal structure is equalitarian.  Private property is much more loosely defined whereas under capitalism it is far more rigid.  Right there is a basis of a power structure.  And you can’t run a healthy tribal system that way.  Not a functional natural cooperative system.  You want to become cannon fodder?  Join a property based survival group. 

*

Well, so much for that huge detour.  Let’s attempt to return to individual solutions.  This is pretty easy, isn’t it?  That is what lifeboat survivalism is all about.  You place all your energy and resources into saving yourself and family as the world crashes all around you.  Why would you even want to get distracted by fantasy solutions you can’t realistically adapt?  Group solutions are just Fallacy Of The Commons impossible.  The “solution” to most problems is just recognizing our human nature.  Screw you, I’ve got mine.  “Big Solutions” are just you pretending that Big Government is still a viable group.  By pretending your paymaster can still deliver your checks, you pretend the end is not nigh.  Big Solutions are just denial the system is imploding.  Big implies Big Oil and Big Finance can still save your ass and keep you wallowing in luxuries like Big Macs and central heat.  There are no solutions past your own individual ones.  Rawles Survivalism, its complete reliance on Big Finance and Big Trade to keep the consumables coming to continue the Middle Class lifestyle pretends to embrace lifeboat Survivalism but places far too much reliance on a mythical Resupply Ship to make it work.  It is only you, now while you supply yourself from Big Oil, and in the future when there is no more supply at all ever. 

*

Localize, completely.  Big Solutions are centralized, not decentralized, and you MUST decentralize as completely as you can NOW, and completely LATER.  There are your solutions, real ones.  Individualism and decentralization.  Any other solution is just an attempt at parting some fool with his money, or the stark raving mad babblings of an uneducated illogical thinker.  I understand few are as perfect as me, so I’m certainly not judging.  You can’t help it if you suck, but pardon me if I point it out.

solution

I GOT YOUR SOLUTION HANGING

I was over at our buddies web site ( well, he might be YOUR buddy, I don’t know ‘bout mine as his mom won’t approve a Play Date with me ), the Doomstead Diner, and his post on “twelve solutions” got me all fired up.  The whole concept of there being solutions is anachronistic and people insisting that one doesn’t discuss the problems without offering a solution is as retarded as insisting you don’t warn the village about an avalanche unless you have a portable Snow Wall tucked in your back pocket.  Granted, nobody likes THAT guy who plasters a hundred pop up ads on his web site for revenue and you can’t even read his two hundred word plain vanilla Wiki copied lame ass article because your broadband bogs down, the site being nothing more than click bait for preppers rehashing tired and old bullcrap, and doing nothing BUT bringing up problems ( Sears declares bankruptcy, we are all going to die.  Unemployment up 4%, we are all going to die ), but as even DDD ( Doomstead Diner Dude ) says, most problems are actually predicaments and there are no solutions.

*

So why pander to the idiots who insist on solutions?  Simple.  I think it is pride in your analytical abilities, not wanting to be thought of as That Guy with the click bait.  That spewing jag-off of a meat puppet moron.  You want to be treated as a Serious Author.  Well, let me tell you all right now, I got your solutions hanging low, right here ( imagine me grabbing my junk and cupping comically ).  There are no “solutions” to systematic failure.  All those scumbags who print dead tree books on how if we all joined hands and sang Kumbiya and stopped polluting we can save the Earth?  How realistic is that?  Like those ChiCom bastards are going to go back standing in human fecal tainted water to grow rice so that they can save the planet from your grand pappy’s use of aerosol deodorant and buying a 4 mpg Caddy to drive down to the Palm Springs golf course.  The FIRST step in saving the planet is to stop killing trees to tell us all how we need to stop killing trees and otherwise raping Gia.

*

When you present improbable solutions, they are worse than no solutions at all.  Because you are spreading false hope.  You are becoming part of the problem by keeping the lie alive.  You are in effect one of the Elites propaganda tools.  Do not panic, all is well, I have solutions.  No, bitch, you don’t.  You have wishful thinking masquerading as a solution.  I say, hump all that, panic NOW.  Of course, there are always solutions, but the mistake comes in when you think you can offer systematic solutions rather than personal ones.  If you say, “drive a Prius and use LED lights and become a vegetarian so that the Earth cools and we get far less hurricanes of deadly force“, you have now been nominated for Humankinds Biggest Idiot Award.  No, dumbass, you just protect yourself against more hurricanes.  For the price of a Prius you can hurricane-proof your home to include water and food storage and extra ammunition. 

*

The Solution Insisters might get all butt hurt and insist that THEIR pet solution in long term whereas yours in short sighted and only lasts a couple of hurricane seasons.   They might be right, but whereas their solution has ZERO chance of protecting you against the next twenty hurricane seasons, if ever, yours are ready to go into effect close to immediately.  Humans, as a social group, do poorly planning ahead long term.  Only individuals do that.  So NEVER bet on a group doing the smart thing tomorrow, only today.  That one is quite easy to figure out.  A group postures for dominance and gain, each individual attempting to maximize their share at the expense of others, in ANY group dynamic not tribal in nature.  Even in a tribe, we are hardwired to cooperate but also to do everything to maximize our return at the expense of other tribes, so as far as long term planning goes that acts as a short term brake.  Our tribe acts in short term dynamics against other tribes.  Whoever denudes the meadow first gets the extra livestock to rear extra mouths to provide more breeders and warriors, and etcetera.  So, really, even if a tribe is cohesive it isn’t long term planning capable anyway.

*

Unless.  There is the territorial issue.  If you are able to militarily eradicate any who pose a challenge to occupying your territory, there is far less chance of long term ecological damage if you can prohibit others from occupying it.  It is LONGER term, but of course not indefinite.  No ecosystem is capable of withstanding human occupation after a certain amount of overpopulation.  Which is a necessity if you are to stay ahead militarily.  Which is why there will always be armed conflict.  Humans can only plan ahead to a certain extent.  And not much further.  You can’t get much past your grandchildren, if that.  The default programming of humans is to survive by military conquest.  You can spew all you want about “changing the programming” to cooperate, but that is merely trying to deny our natures.  The human mind can be a wonderful thing but it can also easily prove itself to be a flaming dumbass.  Mother Nature/evolution/God has instilled in us the ultimate behavior programming for our own good, so we don’t try to talk ourselves into something retarded.  If you and your group tries to thwart that, they die to the others that just follow their true natures.

*

Remember the meadow analogy?  He who strip mines his environment to gain a temporary advantage in resources will defeat another tribe that is trying to live harmoniously with nature and not deplete his environment ( which is why the tribe being territorial and eliminating “squatters” will in the long term still take too much and damage his resource base-he must keep enough surplus produced to assure military dominance and you can’t fight entropy doing that).  Continued tomorrow.
