Are the Survivalist* bad people?

Personally, I am a Idealists* by my personality alignment. That means that I have a natural dislike toward all the Survivalist*, and I can’t help it any more than any other the Idealists* can in this world. We hate the Survivalist*, and there’s nothing we can do about it. HOWEVER, as the Idealists*, we can separate that personal feeling of hate and put it into the category where it belongs. PERSONAL feelings that have nothing to do with how the Survivalist* should be treated, or whether they should be considered bad people. They aren’t. They’re just profoundly incompatible as lovers, spouses, friends, and colleagues to the Idealists*. They have a place in a Idealists*’ life as “a foot soldier”, but in a very carefully monitored space. They should NEVER be put in charge of a Idealists*, in a Idealists*-run organization, for example.

HOWEVER, nothing about the Survivalist* way is “bad”, per se, as long as they stick with their own kind. The best way to do this is not to FORCE the matter, but to simply learn the ways the Survivalist* reject one another and do the same; by ignoring the ones they don’t care for (anymore). It feels weird to the Idealists* to do so because we are hard-wired to be kind toward others, but… The Survivalist* aren’t. They are hard-wired to fight for dominance and show kindness only as a means to an end to encourage further submission or to seek the favor of a superior.

As long as people play by the same rules, it’s all fine, but for as long as they cannot play fair… Actually, they play fair: the strongest will survive… As long as they can’t play with the complicated the Idealists* rules, they should be kept in their own category, not by force, but by intellectualized approach to their ways: ignore the ones you cannot love unconditionally.

And the Idealists*’ need to help all humanity is so strong, that we’ll go to our own graves with it, but we can be smart about helping the Survivalist* without having to be steamrolled by them as thanks. We must not seek for their gratitude. Their gratitude is toxic to the Idealists*. The way they give gratitude is more likely to kill your family members than to bring you anything good in this life, therefore, only anonymous help will have any humanitarian value to the Survivalist* without destroying the Idealists*.

The Idealists* ego is largely tied to our ability to be helpful, gracious, generous, and loving. We must give up that ego, save it to the fellow the Idealists*, and protect ourselves from the Survivalist* gratitude by offering anonymous or societal help alone. The help of survival can NEVER be tied to human-given love or compassion when it comes to the Survivalist*. This way, we’ll also drive the Survivalist* into seeking compassion from each other, and to bond with each other rather than seeking morsels of love from the eager-to-give the Idealists*. This is similar to stopping ourselves from feeding wild animals so they won’t become dependent on humans if you forgive me for the comparison. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

But no. The Survivalist* are not bad people, they are just highly driven by things that the Idealists* are no longer tempted by. Things that the Idealists* give away too easily, thinking it doesn’t mean anything (much). The Survivalist* need a little bit of a firm but loving hand, a little bit of a push in the right direction, and that, to the Idealists*, can feel like huge cruelty, but in truth, it’s for everyone’s best interest.

It is also to be said, that the Idealists* have always tried to identify the “the Survivalist* gene”, and weed it out of humanity as Hitler did. However, it is not a gender, family, race, genetic trait, political faction, it’s not in any specific group of people, not in a specific species… And it’s not even Satan or God. It is in every group of people and it cannot be weeded out by pointing a finger toward a specific group of people, but it has to be identified on an individual basis. The good thing is, that you can attract the Idealists* by choosing your words carefully, and you can put the Survivalist* off by other words and deeds.

The way I’d go about this, is for each the Idealists*, once you get it, simply apply it to your own life, and let others worry about their own approach to it. Do what you see fits you, and leave preaching to sharing a link to a blog maybe.¹

1. And never teach this to a child until you FULLY understand it. It’s difficult enough for a grown-up. As far as children go, teaching them to never make friends with someone they don’t genuinely like suffices as advice. I don’t care what you think of that now, or what their teachers might think, encouraging children to be kind to people they don’t like is actually very, very dangerous toward both parties. ↩
