Warriors are forged, not born. Even the Founding Fathers needed to suffer two years of the Intolerable Acts for them to take action. Things will get worse before it gets better.

It's part and parcel to Leftism, Authoritarianism, and Collectivism. Both require you to understand yourself as being unable to defend yourself except with the collective whole. Collectivism does nothing but make the individual move his mandate of protection off his shoulders, and place it on someone else.

Even beyond the dependency systems of Leftism, the trend of authoritarianism requires people to reject their own personal responsibility for protection and place it on another. For example, most people don't carry guns, not because they feel safe, but because they expect the police to show up and save the day. The cops almost never do, and never can, and will even tell you if you ask them; but the narrative of "the cops protect us" still gets maintained and spread. Even without a corrupt police force, the truth is that they never could.

Each time you move your personal responsibility onto something or someone else, you lose the capacity to fight for yourself.

• You don't carry a gun, you have police.
• You don't save money for an emergency, you have insurance
• You don't exercise in case you have to fight, you just assume people are good
• You don't educate your kids, you have schools for that
• You don't build contacts, secondary skill sets, or keep an updated resume; you just have unemployment and a union
• You don't need a store of cash, you have a bank's ATM for that
• You don't need a store of gold, you have a 401k for your retirement.

So on and so forth. It's not so much that we're not under threat as a society; it's that we've intentionally created Leftist protection rackets to place our "Mantel Of Responsibility" on, without realizing that those systems are now being directed explicitly against us. People simply aren't used to taking full, personal, responsibility for things. They keep assuming systems and institutions work, because the fear of just how heavy the weight of responsibility seems without those institutions is too much for people to bear. The mask mandates are a good example. People could have easily seen through it, but they were too scared not to succumb to narrative, and too willing to place their trust in institutions that they thought had previously worked.

If you actually take personal responsibility for things, people think you're crazy. Just the things I listed. If you did those things, most of society would look at you like you were a lunatic, explicitly because they aren't used to taking that responsibility.

When did this happen? Basically, the Industrial Revolution. Long story short, the Industrial Revolution introduced human commodification into an already emergent Political Rationalism that was the result of the French Revolution's side of the Enlightenment. As the world was centralized into industrial economies, people were too, and political rationalism probably reached it's insane height with the Positivist movement. There's been blowback, and it's been on the decline, basically, since WW2 as mass centralized industrialization has become less economically useful. We will have to de-institutionalize and re-individuate societies.

I've been thinking about this a bit.

The lack of pushback is due to the successful implementation of anarchotyranny. For a segment of the population under the tyranny it's full boog or nothing. Whether people ever get there is anyone's guess. What effect do you think things like the "DOJ's school board violence memo" and unrelenting prosecution of J6ers have? They are among the many clear signals to people who would resist.

Anarchotyranny affects at all levels. It is why people need to carry uninsured motorist coverage, and part of why medical and education costs are so high.

We decided to walk away from a society that despises us and treats us as expendable sub humans.

I'm, proudly, the first male in a multi generation military family not to serve as cannon fodder to further the interests of our monied governing caste.

The US has not fought a war of self defense since WWII.

Prove me wrong.

Certainly part of reason is the brainwashing that such traits in men is “toxic masculinity”

There's no real need for warriors in our modern world, and attempts to be warriors is treated badly.

Liberal individualism passivated people.

Because its easy to fight a foreign enemy. They are other, separate, and dehumanized. You can defeat them entirely and go home after.

An internal enemy is different. Its indistinguishable from friend until you are already stabbed, you cannot come at it with full force lest you risk damaging yourself and those you care for, and even the act of victory is marred with generations of rebuilding. There is a reason why Civil Wars throughout history rarely had good outcomes on the other side, even when driving out the "bad" guys.

The problem isn't warriors not existing, many are still being born by the day. They are simply not the tool needed to defeat the problem plaguing us. Short of lining up everyone on the Left and shooting them, they really cannot do much and as such never receive a call of duty.

Good times make for weak men.

World Wars 1 and 2 the draftees were not picked at random, but rather hand-selected. The state sent our best men to die for bankers' wars.

I think part of it is the shifting of the Overton window. We still have people speaking out...it's just all incredibly milquetoast compared to times past.

I've heard numerous "theories" on this. The one that seems the most believable to me is the following:

• The recent advances to healthcare along with working conditions becoming much safer for people who aren't physically strong has led to an increase in weak men surviving whereas in the past, they would have died. This leads to the overall makeup of society being biased toward having a lot more weak men than in the past. Also, the socialization of everyone allows the weakest to survive but in more free market societies (less socialism), the weak simply die off.

I first heard this theory proposed by a scientist who believed he essentially identified a "beta" and "alpha" gene. He called it something else, but it's a gene where people would be strong or a "warrior-like", and a gene where they wouldn't. A philosopher might call it a slave vs. a master gene. In any case, he believed that in recent history, the alpha gene always dominated the beta gene but our recent advantages in technology, namely in healthcare and sanitation has led to people with the beta gene flourishing, whereas in the past, most of these people would have been the ones who died off and thus we would have always had an excess of alpha genes compared to beta genes in society.

So now we have way more betas compared to warriors and society is structured such that our governments have immense power over individual men thanks to weapons technology and communications technology being the way that it is.

Essentially, our warriors are still here but they are oppressed thanks to the governments immense power and being outnumbered by the beta/weak men who in the past would have never had the numbers they have today thanks to advances in healthcare and sanitation as well as jobs becoming much safer and not requiring as much physical strength.

I am asking this, because even a century ago people would be up in arms at the state of the world. Those trannies invading Oklahoma's capital for example... did the destruction of the extended family, overreliance on the state and pursuit of safety and a "better life" remove the testosterone from western white men? Is it the constant propeganda? Being law abiding is only an good thing when the laws and lawmakers are sane? Look at the east, Russia has had a very shitty century or so, and they produced a Putin. I have read all these books, watched all these YouTube videos, followed the manosphere and red pill podcasts and even with all of the dissident information at hand... it boggles my mind. Statue of a succubi in New York. Trannies invading Oklahoma. Satantist temples giving out abortions. Feels like the rapture really did happen and we all got left behind.
