The Health of the Human Race

[Ninurta]

I see 'Mother Nature' has less of a caring matriarch and more of a Lizzy Borden! 
If you take your eyes of her for more than a second, you'll find ones gonads being chewed on by one of her
furry minions or frozen into something that clinks nicely in a whisky glass.
Oh... and she doesn't accept payment with money!

Mother Nature can be a fickle hussy. I learned a long time ago that she does not play favorites, and does not care if you live or if you die. She does not care if you are a human, the alleged pinnacle of creation, or if you are a lowly ant. ALL meet the same end. She will kill you dead for a mere miscalculation, and not care in the least that you suddenly started pushing up daisies. She also doesn't care if you conquer Everest and scream it to the world from the mountain top. It's all the same to her, either way. One has to live WITH Nature, not conquer her nor oppose her. She can give you a good life if you chose to live with her, IN nature, and will kill you dead after an incredibly rough and short life if you choose to oppose her.

To further develop the increasing dichotomy, I've noticed things in election maps of the US. Urbanites vote overwhelmingly Socialist, and Ruralites vote overwhelmingly conservative. I don't know if it's that way in the rest of the world, but it holds true here in the US.

The maps also show that most of the cities, voting mostly Socialist, are near the coasts. So most of the population is coastal. The coasts are voting to control the whole country, the interior of which has an opposing cuture to them.

55% urban, 45% rural, and that divide is increasing in favor of the urbanites. As the population balance tips towards cities, so does the Socialist vote. Eventually, perhaps sooner rather than later, the US WILL become a Socialist State. There is no avoiding it at this point, I think. The seas cannot rise fast enough to get them before they get us... as I said before, Mother Nature does not care. She works on her own time table.

Once the balance tips irrevocably, the lemmings will march, and the fun begins.

It's happened over and over again in socialist state after socialist state. I've never known one that could get fat on feeding itself. Remember Bernie Sanders' praise of bread lines.

When folks get hungry enough, they'll try to find ways to feed themselves. America is no different. When the urbanites realize they can't get their own food in the cities, they'll start trying to raid the countryside in one way or another. They'll start by ordering folks to collectives to grow food, despite their former promises of riches for all. No one ever got rich farming. Anyhow, folks around here do not take kindly to being told what to do. We don't care if the orders come from a Socialist or a Conservative. Orders is orders, and we balk at them.

As John Titor said, farmers who no longer farm haven't got anything better to do than shoot interlopers.

So when forcing folks who know how to farm onto collectives doesn't work out well for them, raids as we have come to know them will start.  You can shoot raiders the same as you can "tax" collectors.

Urbanites do not understand the countryside, or how war is waged here. How could they? They've never had much, if any, experience of it. They think that you can control people because that's all they have ever experienced. When you get enough people corralled in a city, you can lead them anywhere you want them to go, just like cattle in a chute. Exemplary control measures can be applied to city environments because the people are so concentrated, movement is restricted to certain corridors, and what the military calls "lines of communication" can be controlled, choked off or opened up as the controllers see fit. Food, water, electricity, and practically everything else can be doled out or withheld to achieve the desired control.

It's a little different out here in the hinterlands. We have more independent resources, things that are harder to achieve control of, and can move in any direction at will.

Cut off our power? Sure, go ahead. We know how to get along without it. Disconnect our internet? Sure, go ahead. When we don't have internet to occupy our time, we'll find something else to do... like shoot at interlopers. Cut off our water? Sure, go ahead and try. That'll keep you busy for a while, damming all those rivers and streams and figuring out how to keep the dams from overflowing... and then there are the fresh water springs. How are you going to find all of them? When you do, how are you going to plug them? Cut off our food? Har har har! have you forgotten who MAKES the food? Go ahead and cut off the "just in time" deliveries to the grocery stores. We'll show you what Hank Jr was talking about when he sang "a country boy can survive".

That, I believe, is the reason the Socialists are supporting unrestricted immigration. I believe they intend to use the immigrants as shock troops in their plan to conquer the countryside. It doesn't risk the Snowflakes' own precious lives, and the immigrants are, generally speaking, more familiar with the countryside culture. It's mostly what they came from, after all. They are immigrating currently in droves seeking more resources, and that will be used against them, and against US. "Boys, out THERE are your resources. Go git 'em, and don't forget to bring back our share!"

Do you know how to blow up a bridge or crater a road or a runway? I do, and there are more of me than you can imagine out here. Any produce they get out of here will have to be airlifted, and there ain't enough choppers in the world to airlift enough to feed those hungry city dwellers. It sure as hell won't be leaving here by road.

Vercingetorix had it right in the Gallic Wars against Caesar. He employed a scorched-earth policy to deny the Romans the resources they needed to survive and prosecute their war, and he was winning. His first mistake was acceding to ONE woman, who was pleading that the fields not be destroyed because she had a child to feed. He didn't destroy those resources, based upon her pleas. There was just enough left there to supply the Roman Legions for one last push, so the Romans took those crops from their rightful owners. The woman and her child probably starved to death all the same as if Vercingetorix had destroyed those fields.

That one last Roman push was at Alesia, and it ended Vercingetorix's resistance by siege. That was Vercingetorix's second, and last, mistake - allowing himself to get corralled, pinned down, and besieged at Alesia rather than retaining his mobility. Had he destroyed those crops instead of leaving them at the woman's request, and remained mobile so the Romans had to chase him all over Creation on empty stomachs, the Romans would have been finally starved out and had to run back home with their tails firmly tucked between their legs, dropping dead of starvation, singly and in bunches,  on the way. Instead, Gaul lived under the Roman boot until the Roman empire collapsed centuries later. After Alesia, the Romans went on to use Gaul as a stepping stone to invade Britain.

Vercingetorix lived six more years, in chains, in a prison cell in Rome, until Caesar finally took him out for a victory celebration, paraded him through the streets of Rome like a chained and captured pet, and then had him strangled to death in a public execution at the end of the parade. The moral of that story is "never let yourself be taken alive".

We should learn from history.
