00:00 Some say I'm a vulgar man. Hell, maybe I am. But there's often a whole lot of truth buried in vulgarity. Look, if fbombs and real talk crack your delicate little teacup, go elsewhere. There's a ton of corporatized and feminized non-offensive YouTube content out there that won't disturb your fragile sensibilities, make you flinch, or think.

00:28 But for those who can handle it, I live by the words of the late great Jimmyi Hendris. I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die. So let me live my life and say things the way I want to. There is a special delusion out there. And it's like few others because it perfectly straddles two different realms. The crazy and the absolutely idiotic.

00:53 Hello and thanks for being here. This is Ernest. Welcome. Today I'm going to share with you my observations on a subject many people really don't know much about or are perhaps chicken to actually be critical of preers. So without any ado, let's jump the right in. Before we get started, I just wanted you to know that the background video will be available in the description if you would like to scrutinize it for yourself.

01:26 And I am still offering the halfozed solid 24 karat gold bar opportunities on my website. As many of you know, I enjoy talking about the death of America through a thousand cuts. Now, please don't confuse what I'm saying that I want America to die. I never have. What I want is at least the America of my youth.

01:53 That would have been the early '7s. And I'm not claiming that it was any kind of utopia. It wasn't. But it sure as hell was a country far more livable than the sad representation of democracy it is today. So perhaps I should correct myself. I would gladly trade all of the current technology we have gained since that time to be able to live when you didn't have to go into debt for 30 years to buy a house.

02:27 And a single income from a decent paying union job allowed you to raise a family, buy a car, and even put money away in the bank for emergencies or possible college. And for the young people out there, this is not historical hyperbole. This is fact. I lived it. And it was also nice to strike up a conversation in public with a complete stranger and actually even enjoy it or perhaps even make a new friend in only 10 or 15 minutes of face-to-face conversation.

03:06 Part of which was because it's natural human social interaction. It's not staring down into a smartphone 24/7, which allows you to do that. It's not a big science or socialization mystery here. But like I said, everything still wasn't perfect because actually, if you look back on the human condition, life never has been perfect.

03:33 I really don't know if realistically that's even possible. But one thing I do know is we had groups of crazies back then. Many different kinds. But the huge difference between then and now is that we weren't afraid to call crazies well crazies. People weren't constantly living in absolute fear of saying whatever the they thought.

04:03 At least it offends someone. So if you thought any group of people were batshit, crazy, idiotic lunatics, you talked about it using those very words and right in front of their face if desired or necessary. One such group that was around then were the preppers who were relentlessly ridiculed for their childish myopic world view, not to mention their absolute and unrelenting stupidity.

04:43 Now, there are two quick distinctions I would like to make. There's absolutely nothing wrong with someone wanting to be a bit prepared. Stocking up with a bit of emergency food, having some kind of safe power generator. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, I would say it's a, you know, a good idea.

05:06 But there is a huge difference between being prepared and being a prepper. Preppers take this overboard. They build bunkers or forts and go to extremes. They typically could be classified as, let me see, that's it. Paranoid. Yeah. Owning guns and ammo for the day when they come. Instead of living life to the fullest, they teach and pass on their paranoia to their children, producing more anxiety, thereby perpetuating and aiding and abetting in America's mental health crisis.

05:47 On the other hand, a survivalist is generally more concerned with learning how to live off the land and is more likely, you know, to be into self-sufficiency, which I don't really see anything wrong with, but it's important to make the distinction between a prepper and a survivalist. They are and absolutely should be two very different things.

06:14 Now since this particular branch of utter delusion and stupidity preerism is still with us currently and I can say without a shadow of a doubt they are absolutely not like a fine wine for they have not improved with age. When you then as now are talking to preppers, I could tell you that the beauty of their argument, regardless of how ultimately shortsighted and convoluted it is, seems to actually make sense.

06:52 In their endless circular argument, it goes well, you know, it's typically like this for one or usually multiple reasons. And I'm just going to limit this argument to America simply for the sake of convenience. When the proverbial hits the fan, as a consequence, marauding bands of desperate people of all different types, races, you name it, are going to be desperate for food and water.

07:22 So, they're going to be out there Mad Max style, searching anywhere and everywhere for food, water, potential living space, and anything else required for living. Because, as I already stated, the proverbial has hit the fan and the government either cannot or will not because the government is obviously controlled by the grays and the reptilians. be there to protect you.

07:52 So to protect yourself andor your family, protection is completely up to you, cowboy. Completely lawless Wild West style. Ye hawk. Right now, at this moment, it all seems pretty much easy to follow, if not easy to visualize, especially if you just happen to be familiar with the Mad Max series of films or any other of the dozens of postapocalyptic movies that have been quite popular for many years now.

08:31 And that is the appeal of this particular delusion because it is simply so damn easy to visualize this stuff. Now, I'm sorry to be the one who turns on the lights in the insane movie house, but this delusional survival protection is complete It is anti-reality for one very simple reason. It's what's known in psychology as a failed operational premise.

09:03 And I'm going to tell you in very simple terms what that means in the simplest terms possible. If you're creating any procession of social events, those social events only continue taking place when all the other necessary elements are present that allow what is taking place to continue. Let me give you a simple automobile engine running as an example.

09:34 If you start a car, practically any car, and assuming it has fuel, if you just wanted to let it sit there and idle, it will do so. But if you remove the fuel line or the line going from the alternator to the engine or the coil wire from the coil, it will stop. and it will predictably stop 100% of the time always.

10:04 And the reason for that is you have removed one or more of the essential elements that keeps the engine running. Now to use the same analogy, let's talk about a small group of people such as a family that we're going to refer to as the engine that keeps the family alive. by defending against marauders that are trying to invade their space, land, or home to get their goodies for possibly themselves or their own families so they survive.

10:42 So, remember what I just talked about concerning removing one or more essential elements to keep the engine going or else it stops. Well, in this case, the biggest absolute and this is this is the major point here. Listen up. Listen, tune in. Okay. In this case, the biggest absolute threat to that human engine is something that no family, fortress, or any size army can absolutely endlessly endure.

11:16 And that is attrition. Here is a good brief Miriam Webster definition of attrition. Number four, a reduction in numbers usually as a result of resignation, retirement or death. What this means again in very simple terms is that it clearly displays the logical fallacy, the failed operational premise if you will, of any and all prepper arguments, which are given enough desperate people.

11:54 Remember, these are also desperate people who will do anything to obtain food and water for their family and children to survive. And given enough time, it is with absolute certainty only a matter of time before that family clan or even wellfortified compound will eventually be taken.

12:26 The prepper, no matter how well fortified, will eventually run out of bullets/weapons or people to use them because they are being killed or otherwise incapacitated. And that in the shortest possible terms is the major flaw with the idiotic anti-logic prepping mentalities. There are much better methodologies available which I can discuss in another episode if you wish.

12:57 But I am absolutely sick of the plan, the propaganda that has been mindlessly put out there by preers and the multibillion dollar industry catering to and supplying these idiots for the last 70 years. Finally, I'll just say this. If you wanted a movie equivalent for the strategy of prepping tactics for your compound, I believe the movie Dumb and Dumber would be perfect.

13:35 Now, please don't you get your ass all prepping on me. Check out my episodes every Monday and Friday. Please do hit that subscribe and notification bell as it really does make the channel grow. And besides that, I really do appreciate it. Until then, this is Ernest and I usually always am.
