SUICIDE BY APOCALYPSE


I know secretly you all think I’m as close to perfect as a mere mortal can be, but the sad fact is that on occasion I turn out an article that has a faint whiff of decay about it. It is the proverbial dead horse I’m beating about the head and shoulders once again. Nothing new, just covering the same old ground. This is inevitable, there being only so many main subjects even in such a diverse field as survivalism. But on occasion I add to that deficiency a bit of lackluster enthusiasm. When that happens, and then I also throw in general mental distraction, the article simply wasn’t worth my time to write or even your time to read. This will happen once and again and there is little that can be done to stop it. I don’t always know when this occurs. Sometimes what I consider a dud everyone seems to enjoy. And sometimes every last swinging monkey member of my readers hacks me off by arbitrarily dismissing what I thought was the next best thing since sliced bread as beyond their contempt. Oh, well. It is the nature of the beast, a writer being either his own worst critic or his lone fan. The point I’m seemingly in no hurry to get to is that I apologize if I’m been a bit less than normal in my quality lately. I’m giving serious consideration to moving on to the lucky wife #5, as #4 has once again reached new heights in pissing me off. I even put good money down on an Internet Mating Game service, I’m so serious. I’ll still keep a roof over the bitches head. I’m not a heartless bastard. But I’m done sleeping in the same bed. I know, been there done that many times. You’d be a fool to waste a moment pitying me as it is all self induced. But it is preoccupying my mind and I’m sorry if it is affecting my prose.

There come times when I once again simply amaze myself, and I’ve done it again in this article. Suicide by apocalypse. We’ve all heard about simple suicides raging against the machine. The immediate example that leaps to mind is the fool that flew into the IRS building in protest. It is far more popular to conduct a suicide by cop. Some problem child or another decides that they are pissed beyond belief and while they are far too important to kill themselves, they are smart enough to take a few of the bastards down with them. I’m not condoning the action. While most cops are heartless pricks, a significant minority are merely misinformed. Yes, I only have a soft spot for law enforcement since my father was a cop. It was my field of choice before I realized I had no aptitude for it. Everyone else and every other profession I usually only have unbridled contempt for. I admit it isn’t rational. The exempting LEO’s part, not the hating everyone part. But there you have it. That being said, if you are a cop I can’t understand why you would be surprised that every malcontent wants to paint a target on you. You are the uniformed representative of oppression ( real or imagined ). Don’t you think it is a bit hard to convince yourself that you are ONLY out there to serve and protect at the same time you throw people into the gulag for so many victimless crimes?

Again, I’m not condoning. I’m just saying it is inevitable and if you don’t want to deal with that reality, change careers. Which might not be a bad idea anyway, the state of the States and their pensions nowadays. Every last punk out there wants to take down a 5-0 when he goes. His life is utter pure D crap so he might as well live on the edge, party hard and leave a good looking corpse. And take down one of the Po Po when he does. Jesse James rides again, Jerome! I would like to think I would aspire to greater things if I suicided. Take down a whole city by destroying infrastructure. Something monumental. Not that I would, I’m too timid, but it would be nice to dream I could. Now, you might not think suicide by cop has anything to do with preparedness or survivalism, but as usual you would be wrong. The next best step for most of us is suicide by apocalypse. This has the benefit not only of being moral and legal ( after all, we are only killing the punks and criminals ), but making our jobs now a whole lot easier. And requires little in the way of present sacrifice.

It has always amazed me that most preppers are only half assed serious about the whole endeavor. I mean, I understand economic constraints. I understand having to live in today’s world as well as an only hypothetical tomorrows crashed civilization. You can only do so much. But so many folks do so little, there has to be a reason. I mean, beyond a case of MRE’s, they have no food. Not even a $15 bucket of wheat and a $20 grain grinder. But they have plenty of guns and bullets. We all assume that is merely to protect themselves. Or, worse case, to become bandits and steal food. But I think that it is something more. It is suicide by apocalypse. They have no intention of living in a world without SUV’s and central air McMansions. They are going out, but they are going to do it in style. They are going to take down a gang of punk ass drug dealing ballcap backwards wearing butt crack showing rap playing wigger bitches. Everyone that struck fear into their fat, quivering little hearts is going to get their comeuppance. Everyone that lived off the sweat of their taxpaying brows. Every welfare receiving son of a whore out there is going to pay for their pain and suffering having to pay such high property tax.

It ain’t too hard to make a long list of grievances the average overweight out of shape limp pecker middle class wage slave has. And while society wouldn’t allow them the satisfaction of allowing their rage to manifest itself, there is always revenge. Sweet, glorious revenge. He refuses to live in their prison yard world a post apocalypse reality would become, but he has the financial means to arm himself righteously with semi-auto plastic carbine goodness, and he will make them all pay before being put out of his misery. My God!! Think about how much sense this makes. This is the obvious answer staring us all in the face the whole time! Revenge of the nerds, high capacity lead style. I’m a friggin genius.
