Libertarian philosopher Albert Jay Nock believed in the idea of a "remnant." The remnant is a small group of people--a tiny group of people--those who see through the lies and propaganda and emotional appeals of society. He believed that when the shit really hit the fan, the remnant would be able to finally get something done.

I guess in modern day terms he was blackpill and accelerationist, but I often think about his idea of the remnant. Even if society continues to self-destruct, perhaps it's ok if there are just enough of us to hold the line and fight back when all others are losing their minds.

Interesting guy. He also wrote "On the Disadvantages of Being Educated."
