When I was in Marine Corps boot camp at Camp Pendleton, California, I first heard the term, "Nasty Civilians", in reference to those on the outside, that never received the discipline and training that I was getting, in the elite 200+ year old organization. I thought that it was curious that the nice folk on the outside of the Marine Corp were referred to as "Nasty". After 10 years in the trenches of entrepreneurship, I am now starting to grasp what they meant. As a further service to my country, I will now report on what I think this term is referring to.
1. Friendly Fire Based on their ravenous appetite for contact sports, Civilians are very competitive and they often tackle their own allies. In the military, this is called, "friendly fire". Then again, soldiers have to account for A-10 Warthogs ammunition. Outside of the world of the military, there is a good chance your friends and family will be the ones to take you down, even while you are trying to take care of them.
2. Scarcity This is a very frequently occurring mindset from manifesting unhealthy and negative thoughts. The people in my life that are the angriest with me are the ones I gave the most to. This, "biting the hand that feeds you", issue is pretty common and is not practical or sustainable. For instance, my first employee that I mustered up a monthly check for, ended up suing me after five years, for more money. He got it, but he lost the job and the steady income. In the military, Uncle Sam gives you a check and you can focus on the mission at hand, so maybe that’s why I never developed that mental virus.
3. Self Sabotage We all have dreams and aspirations and even goals, but often times, they end in a massive pile of wasted effort and time spent in vain. It’s easy for us to quickly cast the blame toward others, but in most cases, the one to attribute the demise of your project to is most likely yourself. Fear is the dam in the River of Abundance. If you have conquered this within yourself, you will be able to develop an eye for team sabotage to prevent your peers from taking down your goals from the inside.
4. Sensitivity to Criticism I have been surprised to find out how sensitive people are to feedback. Military veterans should get more communication training because nasty civilians are more likely to lose efficiency when receiving feedback for their approach. Marines tend to use a stern tone that is sometimes taken the wrong way by the untrained ears. The leadership principles that we were programmed to output doesn't work as well on the outside of that militant world. Civilians need empathy and a more sensitive approach.
5. Toxicity Sadly, most of the population are on cheap food, hypnotizing sports, pop-culture, propaganda and nano tech falling from the sky. The likelihood you will be suppressed, rather than empowered, is pretty high. Fortunately, since 95% of people do not have what it takes to overcome these obstacles, you can persist and become part of the 5% that actually have resources to defend against this, such as drinking better water and eating home cooked meals, and maybe staying indoors when you see the Chemtrails overhead.
6. Crappy Leadership America has created the monster of over regulation. We have allowed our Government to empower banks to print fake money, create for-profit jail systems to kidnap innocent citizens, and feed us GMO food and mistreated livestock. I just made my first few grand with a new startup and Big Brother froze the accounts in Coinbase and Gemini Trust because they want me to comply with their centralized, traceable, fake money and tax me to crowdfund. At the same time,my funds in Coinbase, and other electronic wallets, steadily increases in value like stocks, while banks are finding new ways to add on fees, restrictions and fine us at every chance.. It goes unsaid that they are using our deposits to do just what every American would also like to do, and incur more value with it buy investing in profitable stocks and the like, which we see no percentage of.The idealist in me wishes that people would organize for good, wholesome reasons, like we do so effectively for war and riots.
I am hopeful that the Blockchain, a new invention, that allows for trustless cooperation with Smart Digital Contracts that have no trustees, will help us weave networks together in a way where we can actually bring the people together for constructive, money-generating outcomes. I’ve heard the Blockchain referred to as artificial DNA; this may be a can of worms that we have to deal with soon. As far as I can tell, it is impossible for me to do business in the bloody, shark-infested waters of our debt-backed economy. I look forward to a decentralized world with currency that grows in the people's’ pockets. There’s nothing losing value as quickly as the US dollar. Hopefully, civilians will wake up to the reward this new technology promises, before it becomes illegal, and all of us true American Patriots trying to innovate this process, do not become the bad guys. Otherwise, our nation’s people are doomed. I will be conducting advocacy on behalf of this new technology.
