CLAN CRACKIE


I don’t know why but my Supreme Hefe ( Hefe is a wonderful moniker for a female boss. Hefe being Spanish for boss, but they always are worried you are calling them heifer ) loves to institute huge changes into my work life during the mad Christmas rush. I think this is nothing more than sweet revenge disguised as sad but necessary business changes. The first season I had to sledge hammer the old walk in freezer apart ( that part was pretty fun ) as it had finally given up the ghost, but to top that off it was decided that since the place was trashed anyway we might as well just reorganize the shelves for a better flow pattern ( industrial warehouse shelves full of canned goods ). This last Christmas it was decided that since we had gotten so busy with the increased amount of businesses donating to us ( we went from donation pick ups lasting an hour and a half or at most two hours a morning to all morning and sometimes even after lunch ), I would be delegated towards the scut work and a new boss would be placed over me to do paperwork, interact more with clients, etc. No problem, in the long run less stress for me and I love monkey work as it frees my mind towards this writing. The problem, temporary but started at the worst time, was going from running the food bank completely alone for three years to having someone micro-manage everything I was doing. And another female boss ( affectionately known as The Straw Boss )? I have three friggin female bosses, not counting the wife! The friggin humanity!

Anyway, all that was just a lead up to setting up this article. I’m driving the long route to the next burg and so two times a week I have a long time to listen to Glen Beck on the radio. For the most part he is more entertaining than annoying. But every once in awhile he really makes my teeth itch. He starts out ( okay, it was one of his co-wankers, Glen was out at the hospital or something ) about how he is sooooo tired of everyone bad mouthing America. Why, we are the most diverse, tolerant people on Earth. He then went on to something else, happy that he made his point that we as a country have done such a wonderful job assimilating so many different cultures together and we have not been killing each other like they do in such yuckie places like Yugoslavia or West Pestilent African places. Later, as I pulled up back to work, I was greeted to the always sad but amusing sight of a group from the Clan Crackie grabbing ass and cavorting in the winter sun ( it of course gladdens ones heart that the bright sunshine warms the poor skinny dears meth weakened bones ). I’m not overly fond of that clan. I dealt with those idiots working in the casino as they tried to stay indoors and mooch alcohol without spending money. It’s one thing to want to stay out of the freezing temperatures, quite another to do so while being disruptive and cheap ( frugal is saving money, cheap is getting others to pay ). Luckily they don’t stay around long. But the thing that grabbed my attention was how unified a tribe they were. Crack users have their own tribe. What more could so well underline the persistence of such a drive that the most pathetic and vile idiots instinctively ( there is little intelligence behind it as I’m sure the collective IQ is room temperature ) flocked to it?

Sorry Glen dudes, on this point the drug users are smarter than you. The natural human tendency is to go to tribal affiliations. Different cultures do not mix. If you throw enough surplus wealth their way, they will temporarily play nice and get along for the free handout. But underneath it all they still hate each other. Tribes are natural, nation states, if they do not share a common culture, are not. Tribes have been around as long as man. Nation states are artificial and basically the spoils of war on an industrial scale. If you would look just a bit closer than the glossy high school text book version, here in the US we are not very tolerant amongst our diversified peoples. I don’t think it would be out of line to say that only the last twenty years have been the exception ( and that might just be a statistical blip in our 400 year history ). We have always hated each other. The Indians were the target of genocide, the Blacks of enslavement, the Mexicans of land fraud, the Asians of citizenship denial, any White of lower class of indentured servitude ( there was always a good change of death before your term was up ) and any non Anglo-Saxon of discrimination. Then, when we felt like it, they were allowed to begrudgingly assimilated AFTER discrimination, harassment and death so that the next group could be a target. We never were tolerant so much as our intolerance was a moving target. So I don’t see what we have to be so proud of. But even putting all that aside, regurgitating such mindless patriotic pabulum is dangerous. If we condition Joe and Jane Sheeple to think all our little black and brown brothers love them, the simple pukes never see them as a threat. And no, I’m not just talking about race. Yes, race is a huge problem in this country, and mostly because we try to force a façade of love over our hate. But ANY tribal differences are the same.

When the surplus wealth disappears, the fake tolerance and cultural diversity acceptance will be wiped away in an orgy of blood and violence. Look at how hard the federal government has been trying to hide the fact we are a tribal species and has been pretending “Americans” is a natural grouping. In effect, they are trying to replace your tribe with their tribe. But their tribe isn’t one. A tribe shares a culture. Americans are 101 different cultures that were held together with the promise of free wealth ( almost all of it stolen of course. First from other nations and now from each other ). Look at their century and a half war against the South. It isn’t just about punishing States from thinking they are superior to the federal union ( Constitution? We don’t need no stinkin Constitution! ). It is also a war against another culture or tribe. The Yankee bastards hate the South. Slavery had nothing to do with it ( the North was guilty as well in all but tolerating it longer ). States Rights were not any less important in the North, it was just that when it came to the tribe, it didn’t matter what the political unit was. The North was its own culture and the different states had no problem surrendering some independence to the feds. Because they were their own tribe ( and of course things were the messiest when one state had a blend of the two cultures ). The problem was that the northern tribe wanted the southern tribe to surrender economic independence and the south was in no mood to let that fly. They might have enjoyed slavery, but so did the north in other disguises. That was not their sin alone. But slave owners or not, those in positions of power weren’t going to become enslaved themselves. And ever since then, the North has kept up its subjugation to the southern colonies. I’d even say that the civil rights movement was encouraged or subsidized, but that might be too paranoid. At most, a subject for another day. But the success led the north controlled federal government to assume it could colonize all the other cultures and tribes on the continent. And beyond. Certainly it is no surprise when the North got a taste of empire controlling another culture it felt comfortable then going global.

But clashing cultures never stay together long. Our yearning for tribes at present leads us to affiliate along harmless lines such as hobbies, sports or drug use ( harmless to those in power ). In the future, as the tribes are no longer bribed to tolerate, and as they then sense weakness in their controller, the fake tribe fails. Entropy of the diverse nation state.
