Year 1 is Survivalism By John Steele

     With the massively changes environment, following the corona freak out, then the worldwide race riots, and destruction of all things white, there is a change in thought, with once conservatives, now thinking along survivalist lines. The US is ahead of the curve, having suffered much more damage than other countries, but we have yet to see in Australia what happens when here are no jobs, and the Centrelink mother’s milk bonanza safety net is taken away. I expect home invasions will go through the roof, as some home invaders no doubt will go in breaking in.

“And now that we are in Year 1 AFE (After-Floyd Era), we must all realize that the United States has been irrevocably damaged, like the Titanic moments after it had been sliced open by the iceberg. Yes, it will stay afloat for a while, but it’s only a matter of time before it sinks and takes a tragically large number of people down with it. A coalition of radical Leftists and racially-vindictive non-whites have hijacked the Democratic Party, burned and looted our cities, torn down our statues, and vowed to destroy the current system and replace it with a racially-charged form of communism. These people are well-funded, organized, violent, and ruthless. Meanwhile, Hollywood, academia, and the mainstream media — the traditional enemies of the Right — root them on. There is no coexisting with these people, no compromise we can reach. How can you with people who don’t recognize your rights and wish only to kill or subjugate you? How can you, with people who use anti-racism or anti-white supremacy as excuses to promote militant black or non-white supremacy? How can you, with people so obsessed with fighting fascism that they justify totalitarianism? These people are not only violent, dangerous, and evil. They also have no standards. Objectively, they stand for nothing — except maybe for nihilism. If things continue unchecked, there will be war. Either Trump wins reelection in November, and they attack, or Trump doesn’t win in November, and they attack. And they won’t stop.”

     Yikes! That looks pretty grim, making me glad to be in sleepy OZ, which is not going down the sewer as fast. So, what should be done, that is what interests me. AFE, means, the “After Floyd Era,” being the reality that the US, and at some point, the rest of the West, now faces or will face:

“First on the list is an attitude adjustment, and second, a lifestyle change. We are fighting the clock as well as our enemies. We need to move, and here are some suggestions which demonstrate the stark difference between the Before- and After-Floyd Eras: In the BFE, we shopped for firearms mostly for hunting or for self- or home defense. In the AFE, we should be thinking about neighborhood defense or town defense. … In the BFE, we saved money mostly for our retirement or legacy or for our own pleasure and comfort. In the AFE, we should be thinking about ways we can invest or convert that money into forms that can actually survive a civil war. In the BFE, we went food shopping to shore up the week’s supply of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and desserts. In the AFE, [we] should be looking at expiration dates on canned goods and beef jerky, and making room in our basements and pantries for durable foodstuffs that we hope we will never need to consume. In the BFE, we kept in contact with old friends in distant parts of the country mostly for nostalgia or amusement. In the AFE, we should be considering moving and forming real-life communities with these people in case our enemies make life intolerable where we are now. In the BFE, we encouraged our children to move wherever they needed to, including faraway places, in order to pursue their careers. In the AFE, we should be telling our children to stay close to home as much as possible, careers be damned.

In the BFE, we attended sporting events and purchased merchandise and paraphernalia of our favorite universities and sportsball teams in order express allegiance to our city, region, or school. In the AFE, we should now reconsider supporting organizations that practice anti-white racism no matter where they are. In the BFE, we worked out because we wanted to have our gainz and look good in a mirror. In the AFE, we should be working out because that extra few pounds of muscle mass just might come in handy in a brawl. In the BFE, we went running because we wanted to be trim and fit or because we enjoyed the adrenalin rush. In the AFE, we should be thinking about being able to outrun the mob, or being able to chase someone down if necessary. In the BFE, we considered camping a purely recreational activity. In the AFE, not so much. In the BFE, considerations such as price, perks, style, and reliability went into our automobile purchases. In the AFE, a vehicle’s off-road capability and gas mileage should factor into it a lot more. In the BFE, we often read books for pleasure. In the AFE, we should consider reading books for war: survival manuals, basic military tactics, firearms technology, military history and memoirs, apocalyptic scenarios, outdoorsmanship, white identity. That kind of thing. For those just starting out, one can do a lot worse than Lucifer’s Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. In the BFE, we were on social media. In the AFE, we should consider dropping social media and electronic communication as much as possible, and instead returning to face-to-face, telephone, or even letter writing for our communication. In the BFE, we could openly support unfashionable causes such as Blue Lives Matter or All Lives Matter without fear of anything more than being unfriended by our hipster relatives and friends on Facebook. In the AFE, taking the same stands now brings the added concerns of losing one’s career or having one’s home or business burned to the ground.”

     In short, the world now is returning to a Darwinian survivalist mode, in various forms. I do not see communism being established, but rather see it as a nihilistic force mainly to produce chaos, not an alternative system, because from its historical failures we know it does not work. Comfort was borrowed for a short time for modern societies, and an age of relative affluence was created, which promised us the potential of a kind of poor man’s heaven on Earth. Believing that was a mistake, ignoring the destructive forces of history, which are always there, like deadly bacteria on our skin, eagerly waiting to infect and kill us.  And anyway, if ferals go and burn everything to the ground, if endless lockdowns because of the latest disease on the epidemiological hit-parade strikes town, then that world of comfort ends abruptly. That is going to be hard for traditional conservatives to accept, mostly those who have not been soldiers and under fire, or suffering the deprivations of war. Returned guys, especially those from WW II, will know what I mean.
