Overdependence

We're too dependent on rich people for everything imaginable.

It was noted in Forbes magazine recently that the CEO of Walmart was the 7th most powerful person in the world, right after the emperor of China. If he decided to fire all of his employees then he would control that whole sector of the economy. That's how dependent most Americans are on Walmart for their very survival.

We used to only be dependent on men for hunting and women for gathering, but now we're in some twisted variation of total dependence on others for everything imaginable, while we only know how to do one pointless task over and over again for the rest of our life. This used to be the country founded on independence, so why isn't it.

"Interdependence" isn't accurate, it's just a "nice" way of saying we're screwed if anything ever goes wrong, in any of the following categories.

Housing: We need to pay the rich people who own the houses to either buy them or rent them, but it will take the rest of your life to pay off the house so you might as well rent. And don't refinance because then you're taking out even more of a loan on money you don't have and will never pay back.

Food: Isn't it amazing how many people absolutely need the grocery store. The vast majority of people don't know how to hunt or fish or set traps or even butcher anymore. We can't even grow our own food, especially because we don't even have enough land to grow anything anymore. Just another thing only rich people own.

Clothing: Actually we get that from Walmart which is imported from china, so nobody in America even makes clothes from scratch anymore. So let's see... that's 100% of the people that are dependent on fabric from others.

Cars: We basically need gasoline and cars to go to work and go to the store. Much less for vacations because only the very best jobs have 3 day weekends and 2 weeks a year of vacation time. As if that was even enough time away from doing pointless stressful work. We have no alternative method of getting anywhere like we used to with horses. Under martial law supposedly we wouldn't be allowed to drive.

Energy: Well it's a monopoly and energy prices will skyrocket, so you'd better learn to camp out a lot when you have to shut all of your power off in a year or so.

Cable: We rely on it for entertainment like an addiction and there's no other way to stay entertained in the boring city. People used to have lots of fun growing vegetables and having farm animals to take care of and play with.

Addictions: Just like cable, people get addicted to what the rich people sell them. Energy drinks, coffee, cigarettes, cable, sugary drinks, fast food. To get away from these is the hardest thing imaginable so it's best to never start.

Music: Just to keep you're mind off of the world collapsing around you.

I see people walking around at walmart all happy and cheerful almost like cows waiting in line to be slaughtered with absolutely no conception of what's about to happen. I see total and absolute dependency on everything.

The collapse is coming eventually from the ongoing efforts of socialism to collapse capitalism. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when, as they chip away at the system little by little. They've been chipping away more than usual recently though. I personally think it's only 1 year away. But definitely not much further away. I just want to be somewhere else when it happens.

I myself like learning how to survive in the wilderness as really a true means of becoming independent. And I think only truly independent and self sufficient people or towns are the ones who will survive the coming economic collapse. With the right knowledge you can be comfortable anywhere. If you're uncomfortable while practicing wilderness survival, then you're doing it wrong.

My advice is, just go camping more, and when you can survive without bringing anything with you and do that indefinitely then you've actually achieved independence.

That is what this country was founded on, after all!

Praying

There are 2 ways of looking at it.

Praying is pointless if god knows everything, because you'd just be pestering him about something he already knows or trying to change his mind about it.

Or god is a magical genie that grants people wishes if you chant your wishes in a special way right before bed with your eyes closed and hands together and your head down.
