Title.
It's easy to say 'be the change that you want to see in the world', but going to the gym, working hard at your job, and being the strong man - even if that's something you're capable of - is still an exercise in misery when the majority of society is content to rot, fester, and fade away.
Being a strong man didn't help the people of Rome when their leaders gave their nation away to anyone they could convince to hold a spear for them.
The west has been rotting since the 1850's. It's not going to be stopped by some gym subscriptions.
Why 1850s?
That was when the communists appeared.
You want to go that route, id go with napoleon instead of marx. Marx wasn't relevant until Lenin, he was just another leftist thinker before an orthodoxy crystalized.
I don't recall saying that.
I'm going to put this very carefully so I don't get accused of incitement:
I can live with the world as it is without resorting to violence and martyrdom. But I can understand completely if people choose to respond to the present situation with violence, and I would not judge them for it. I have a higher patience for bullshit than some, and a higher inhibition to using violence because of my beliefs.
The decision of whether or not one wants to gamble their soul to right a perceived wrong, is a choice only the individual can make.
If a maga-wearing pepe went full Reinhard, my reply would be "Sieg Kaiser." I just don't want the job. I'm not a leader and I'm not a prophet. I'm just an engineer who likes woodworking and fishing.
From your discourse on this board I would posit that your inhibition borders on the suicidal.
If it didn't I'd already be dead and people would damn me as "that lunatic who caused us more problems".
