Let’s Play: “Who’s the Bad Guy?” – Survivalist Edition

There’s a trend in the modern world where everyone is supposed to be amiable and attractive on social media, even at the expense of gaining agreement with others in one’s own neighborhood. Now more than ever, people are more interested in maintaining their own standard of living (comfort) than in preparing for a tough road that’s made more brutal with the ethical dilemma to never lie, cheat, or steal, even when it could be life-threatening not to.

Today on Rob Raskin’s Millionaire Survivalist, we’ll consider the righteous path of a group of people whose primary survival strategy involves agreeing with the group most able to care for them vs. a group of individuals who live life without a guarantee or guarantor. Since the ladder better represents the ethic of your classic millionaire, methinks you’ll enjoy this.

The Millionaire Survivalist Tradition

Not all of us can be millionaires, but I think most of us can avoid living in the restroom of a Greyhound Station, provided, of course, that we’re not so drug-addled as to be incapable of detecting the plot of our own failed existence.

Sure, you might think all this sounds mean because of the statistic of mental illness associated with homelessness and drug addiction, but consider this: the very condition by which people are being cultivated as cattle to be mindless consumers from the cradle to the grave, all believing they’re on a path to becoming superstars, is the source of much of the mental illness. It foments the inability to understand the boundary between reality and fantasy. Not to punch down or seem uncaring, but anyone whose survival strategy involves being a concubine to the highest bidder is not exactly in a position to tell other people how they should live. Unfortunately, this describes a high percentage of today’s youth, many males. But I digress…

To many, the very rich are villains with a classic winner-take-all attitude. As such, social media and the news are rife with story after story about what humanitarian steps people should take to be fair to others, much of which requires letting go of control of one’s own life choices.

To the millionaire survivalist, they say, “No thanks!” See? They’re too busy not being confused, on drugs, doubting their abilities, wondering what they could’ve been if someone in their family had put them in their place in their formative years. They’re too busy relishing every minute of their mental and physical strength that gives them an edge over their own fears, doubts, and limitations, such that they have the unmitigated gall to try and fail in front of others as many times as it takes to succeed.

This is what’s missing from today’s world. Everything else is second to this. This is why we think differently than the rest. This is why we don’t want others meddling in our affairs. This is why we go in the opposite direction of the rest of the herd.

Conclusion

This “child-star” culture of today seems ill-prepared for a life of hard work, financial struggle, and social mediocrity. It’s hard, but we all had to go through it. So did our parents, and their parents, and so on. Every generation had more and more electronic media pumping their young minds with proof that buying a particular cereal or clothing would equate to a life akin to aristocracy in other countries. In the end, we either learn to adapt or suffer the consequences.
