Imagine believing people struggle to feed themselves while almost half the country is obese. It boggles the mind. Be real man. I live in this country. Starvation is not one of our problems.
My church actually just had a lesson on cancel culture a couple of weeks ago, and I thought it was very poignant, it all depends on where you go in my experience
Yeah that would be rare, in my estimation. Most of them stay far from any controversy to keep the tithes coming in. I will keep my eyes peeled though. I'm not anti-church or anything like that, and we have plenty of churches down here.
I’d say it’s important to remember God’s word doesn’t change and it’s important to take it in! I felt really bad these past months until I started reading the Bible again, wish I had done it sooner.
What's amazing to me is how different your understanding can be when you read it on your own. For example, I was always taught (grew up Catholic) that Adam and Eve both were cursed from eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. Imagine my surprise when I read Genesis and saw that God blamed Eve for eating the fruit, but Adam for listening to the woman!
You will never hear that in church and I now understand why. Women would be pissed lol.
Be careful of getting into the tech companies since they will try to brainwash you to the best of their extent. A couple close friends of mine from the Internet shows me their training and it’s all propaganda nonsense. Be strong and I wish you luck regardless of what you decide to do!
Thank you, but I'm far passed that. Tech is just an interest of mine. God is everything. I would drop it the minute I knew that he wanted me to do something else. I'm more curious as to whether I'll be subtle or outspoken. I do believe there is a time to act and a time to wait and listen. You never know what God's plan is until he reveals it.
It is definitely a “hell on Earth” situation where I live, but I try to make the best of it. :). I would never wish this kind of ideology on anyone else, it’s the opposite of what it claims to be.
That's what I figured. I honestly have no idea what that is like. The only places I've been for any significant amount of time have been the Southern US and Poland, both fairly conservative and Christian areas. I'd love the experience just to see what you guys are going through on the other side of things.
I know we got into argument territory but I’m glad neither of us backed down and had a decent exchange. Reminds me of the good old Internet days.
Most people are angry and unforgiving these days. I don't hold anything against anyone, and I don't mind being challenged. God bless you man, I enjoyed this too. :)
The last thing we are is food insecure.
The obesity rate has steadily increased since the initial 1962 recording of 23%. By 2014, figures from the CDC found that more than one-third (crude estimate 36.5%) of U.S. adults[4][5] and 17% of children were obese.[6] The National Center for Health Statistics at the CDC showed in their most up to date statistics that 42.4% of U.S. adults were obese as of 2017-2018 (43% for men and 41.9% for women).[7]
Thanks for the laugh! I agree. Every day I ask myself how the hell we got here. If you told me ten years ago that in 2021 we would be flying a rainbow homo flag to show our allegiance to the gays and lesbians on our embassies, I'd say you were out of your damn mind.
Then again this is why Rome fell. And there are stories of cities falling like this in the Bible, so clearly we've been there and done that countless times before. I have faith we'll survive this one too.
Great, nice to hear someplace in America hasn’t given up on the Christian roots!
I'm a hardcore Christian lol. I was an atheist before so returning back I went way into the deep end. IMO, the best thing we can do is become real Christians again and remind women what their role is. (to be silent and listen) The worst thing that happened to us was the destruction of our families and the rise of the matriarchy. I will get a lot of hate for this my whole life, but God is more important than what weak people think of me.
I suppose aggressor mode would be the exact opposite of the SJWs, making a fuss about the evils they do and boycotting/mass-protesting their shenanigans.
Oh yeah I want that. I'm all in favor. In fact I do not really understand why Christians do not exercise their power more. Part of me thinks they aren't real Christians, in that they support BLM, feminism, have female preachers, etc., but it's hard for me to tell because I don't go to church anymore. Most of the churches I've been to in the past are weak, totally gutted. They quote scripture but don't relate it to your daily life. I totally get why people are abandoning them.
I'm not certain, but I think it might be that men let women take over the church, and they made it all about fake emotional "love", and since they feel sorry for black people and refugees, they are totally onboard with the SJW crap.
Infiltrating their organizations would be another good tactic, but I’ve experienced the progressive work environment, so I can understand why most don’t like this idea. It is torture listening to progressive ideology.
I'm actually down with that. I'm working on getting a Comp Sci degree and I want to see if I can infiltrate one of the tech companies, if only to get a better understanding of what is going on behind the scenes, and then eventually branch out and start my own company.
Again, you say most people are just trying to work and get by, which I get is the majority thought. The problem is the wokies who don’t have to worry about that/don’t care will use that to their advantage and take over while everybody else is trying to survive their daily lives. Survival mode didn’t save the majority of Germany from being overtaken by the Nazis and I don’t expect it’ll save America from this either.
Like I said, in SC we don't have this wokeness problem yet. Blacks don't have a chip on their shoulder here. So politics just doesn't really concern people. I live in an area where Trump won with an 18 point lead. I think where you are is probably different. It might change eventually but right now there is just not a battle mindset at all here. The only people who think that way seem to be people who fled other states for political/tax reasons.
I’m trying to find my way to build up/support people as well. I’m not a very good writer, but I have ideas that I think other people might enjoy, so I might put them out eventually.
Awesome. Definitely pursue your interest. I wasn't good at programming but I kept at it and now I feel differently. Challenge hones talent so it's better for you to find it difficult than easy, imo.
Yeah that's me also. This started as a stupid joke of a thing, and now I see it gathering steam. The future is unclear, but I am starting to see this turning into the flag of globalism. There will come a time where this will be imposed on people with force, and I know I'm sure as hell not bowing to some faggot flag. Interesting times ahead for sure.
Oh, I’m being passive too, I wasn’t calling you a coward. You’re in survivalist mode right now, not aggressor mode. You and I will suffer the consequences of staying too long in that mode eventually, just like the Germans did.
What does aggressor mode look like? Survivalist mode makes it sound like I'm in hiding, trying to survive and eke out a living. That's not me. I'm working on living like anyone else, but I'm not afraid to share my opinions.
I'm not starting a Youtube channel to be a public face for a movement, but not out of fear. That's just not my thing. We all contribute in different ways. I'm more of a practical builder type. I'd rather see how I can make something that will help conservatives or Christians defend themselves from the oppression that I see coming.
I'm not someone who wants to do political commentary and have fans. I only share stuff here or on patriots to see if others are seeing it too.
If you talk against the ideology in public, great. You’re doing more than most. I just figured you were in the majority of people being silent, instead of the minority.
I do, but I live in South Carolina. This stuff hasn't really hit here, so most people do not understand any of this. The most relatable thing I can do is talk about the evils of homosexuality. The other stuff gets me blank stares.
I talk to my friends and family about this ideology, but that’s the extent of it. It’s more important to me to keep people informed so they can make their own decisions, whether they disagree with me or not.
I talk to anyone about it, even at work sometimes. There are people from out of state like NY or Cali that are on board and left those states for that reason. With them it's like talking to a mirror image, they already get it but it's fun anyway. Some people from out of state are liberal and don't see a problem with it.
Surprisingly, I chat with these people about it (condemning it) and haven't had any trouble yet. One guy, upon finding out that I was Christian, tried to debate with me about it and eventually just accepted that he wasn't going to change my mind. He even came to understand what I was saying, or claimed to anyway.
People in the South, or at least in my area, are not really political. There is hardly any liberal opposition here, so there is not much to disagree with. Most people just try to work and get by, focusing on the practical stuff.
True but they need to make it official, otherwise they risk people trying to restore the ideals and "adhere to the Constitution, as written".
Yeah that's what I thought. Why do you think I don't talk about this in public? It's a weird assumption to make.
I just saw this article and it sparked a realization that I wanted to share and get some feedback on. I am barely even forming an opinion and you're already calling me a coward lol.
Where is your public presence comrade? I'd like to see where you are speaking out about cultural issues since you seem to be at the forefront of the war.
Yep, I agree with this summation. This is the angle they will use to take down the Constitution and erase American history.
I did agree with you until I saw the "stop asian hate" stuff. Maybe they are still deciding whether asians are needed or not. I think the population is too small for them to care, but that will probably change as the Chinese continue to flee to/take over California.
The recent spa/massage killings just gave them a short term cause to rally around, to use asians for the Woke religious goals, but they will quickly be discarded again, and it has already started.
They've really trained blacks to accept this. Even as illegals push them out of where they used to live, they still follow the party.
Well Mexicans and blacks hate each other so this isn't going to work well without a lot of brainwashing of their children.
Men definitely need to take charge again, but first they have to get over their fear of women and stop treating them as special. They're not special.
Oh this makes me very uncomfortable: “it’s amazing to watch it unfolding”.
Why?
You and the Germans in 1933 have a little something in common then. Holy crud, Americans are screwed, the West has not learned from history.
Not really following you here. I'm commenting on something that is happening, that I can see happening. I guess you are interpreting that as me being passive in the face of it or something along those lines?
Lol in what reality do you live in? Wake up. Start with deaths of despair, opioids, and suicides, inability to raise a family on one pay, inability to afford a house, then come back.
A different one than you, surely. That has more to do with cultural issues and a lack of God in their lives. People can raise families if they really want to. In the past, poor people with literally nothing but a wooden shack raised families with eleven children. You can see this in old photos. The reality of what people mean when they say they can't afford to raise a family, is that they can't afford their comfortable lifestyle and raise a family. Older generations understood that family has always required sacrifice.
Also, you've fundamentally misunderstood the point I'm making. Those at the top and those enacting their ideology either don't give a shit, or see themselves as good guys. It's the working class and everyone else below them who is seen and labeled as bad, as a racist, supremacist, homophobic, etc, whom they as the "good guys" want to educate and exert control over. Radical liberalism, just like other forms of liberalism which reigned before it, is a top-down ideology, and serves to justify higher level of exploitation by the capitalist ruling class.
No, I just don't agree with it because I'm not a communist.
Yeah, lots to be jealous of, especially how the white daughters of those white males get groomed and gang-raped by grooming gangs. Again, wake up.
Why do you think they hate white people so much? Wake up.
They tried the class war and realized that people really don't care about class if they are doing well economically. Most people aren't jealous of the rich. That's why they had to move to race, gender, and then sexuality. It's easier to be jealous of straight white males, and that's not something you can aspire to since those are immutable biological characteristics. (well except for sexuality, but abnormal sexual behavior can't become mainstream in the long run anyway)
This one has been brewing for a while, but it seems they think now is the time to really push it. I remember seeing some news story a while ago with the headline "queer pride is black pride" or something like that, but now they want to make it official.
The last thing they need to do is incorporate asians and they will have their coalition against the straight white male. My prediction? Once enough time passes, they will begin to circulate the idea of the pride flag replacing the US flag, since that one is "tainted by historical oppression".
They're already flying the pride flag in US embassies around the world as a precursor, testing the waters. It's amazing to watch it unfolding if I'm honest.
Fucking drooling normies. You try to enlighten them, introduce them to a bit of culture, and look at the mess they make. Never again.
Wrong. This assumes that the monarch has such a desire to pass anything to his children, or is even capable of having children. Very often, monarchs have failed to give two shits about their own kingdom because they were busy engaging themselves in a litany of wars or conquests, and took no interest the domestic state of the country which they really didn't care about. This was a particular problem with Richard The Lionhearted, who really didn't even give a shit about England, and saw it a worthless backwater. Not like France and the Holyland.
That's not typical at all. Historically the thing monarchs cared about most was their legacy and their heirs. What do you think the conquests were about? Expanding and enriching their territory. How is that not caring about your country? You want it to be bigger and better. Obviously their motivations are also selfish, that just comes with the territory.
Not to mention that the King does not have such ownership, when he is typically in conflict with his lords, who have their own land and property to pass on. Very often, monarchs will be happy to destroy the territory of less loyal lords, while rewarding more loyal lords as an act of political sabotage and loyalty.
Well a King relies on his lords to help secure his land. If they are rebellious he is going to try and depose them and reclaim it. I don't know where you are getting the idea that he wants to destroy their territory from, because that's HIS territory.
Absolute hogwash. Monarchs have repeatedly stoked mobs of people into violence as a methodology of control. I shouldn't even have to explain this to you, it is literally the origin of the word Tyrant. This is sheer historical ignorance on your part. Riots are not always allowed, but riots are sometimes intentionally allowed as a methodology of control, demographic replacement, and justification for larger political strategic actions.
Nobody who is in power wants a revolt on their hands. The people who foment riots are those who want to take power for themselves. If you already have control, then anarchy is not profitable for you in any way. The word tyrant is from a brutal response to something like a riot, not from starting one.
Total nonsense. The installing of vassal monarchs on behalf of larger empires is maybe the entire history of the Hapsburg Empire.
So is the routine massacre of royal families. Look at Rome, Byzantium, Russia, etc.
As with many tin-pot dictators who rule over their country as if they were a monarch, they also don't give a shit what happens to their country, because their interests only matter within the glorious capital city, and the most prosperous core of it. Let the rest of the people starve. This is common among monarchs and dictators alike.
No it was very uncommon for that to happen throughout history. You wouldn't stay King long if your people were starving to death.
Again, no. Expanding your empire's influence is only one part of the agenda of a ruler. The Hittites are not going to conquer Egypt just because the child-king of Egypt is literally to young to properly rule. The weakness is useful for the Hittites to develop their kingdom and expand their influence unmolested, but it is not justification to conquer a kingdom. In fact, it is likely that many kingdoms will simply stay out of it to avoid embroiling themselves into a political situation they simply don't care enough about to solve. They have better things to do.
Yes they would. The death of a King was often an opportunity for a rival to declare war and annex territory. Any weakness in a rival was an opportunity to strike, and a child-king is a great example of that.
Popular disruption, civil disobedience, and thankfully some kind of voting system which can unseat the established power structure to a small degree. Under a king, like literally every king where high taxes were imposed (like under China, Japan, Islamic Caliphates, Ottoman Empire... the list goes on forever), the only option would be mandatory death and starvation.
Doesn't happen. A kingdom doesn't survive very long if the people are starving to death.
Again, there is under most western systems with term limits. Where there is absolutely zero hope of a better manager of his kingdom is under a monarch.
Seriously, I don't think you know anything about the history of monarchs.
You have a very naive view of history, and a poor understanding of people in general. Life back then was hard for everyone. We simply didn't have the technology that we have today. We all live individually better than any king in history did. A monarchy is not inherently bad or evil. Historically they had more of a stake in the success of their kingdoms than politicians do today, because politicians just pass their problems onto the next guy. A king doesn't have that option. His problems either go on to his children or end up with him getting wiped out.
We have more knowledge accessible to us than ever before. If there was some kind of collapse, the first thing intelligent people would do is try to re-establish communication with others.
And we have some knowledge and habits that literally weren't available to anyone in the past, like knowing to keep our living areas clean and free of pests like rodents. To keep trash and human feces far away from where we live to avoid contamination.
We know the importance of water purification in a way that past civilizations did not understand. So we automatically avoid the diseases and ailments that 99% of humans in history weren't able to avoid. We know about scurvy and how easy it is to prevent, as another example.
So while it would be a huge shock and challenge for people, and I'm sure many would die, we would still be better able to handle survival than anyone that came before.
Whites do as well, in reality.
It's so easy to fix too. That's the sad thing.
If that is true then liberalism has been a total failure. Corruption has certainly not been solved, and if anything, is worse than it has ever been.
a) It was painfully obvious that a Monarch could not actually be trusted to be interested in the prosperity and safety of his Kingdom.
How do you figure that? A monarch has numerous motivations for doing so. For one he wants to pass something good on to his children, because the land is their inheritance. For two he does not want to have riots in his kingdom. And for three, if he is challenged and defeated by an outside power, he and his family would be murdered. I'd say those are pretty damn good motivations.
Now let's compare to the modern day. A politician can lie or steal and not worry about being put to death. They have zero interest in the nation. Why should they? They will eventually leave their office and it will be someone else's problem. In ancient history, if a ruler was doing a bad job of ruling his nation, do you know what happened? A ruler who is doing a better job and generating more wealth decides to invade and take it over. Today this is impossible. If France is taxing its people to death, what is the recourse? All you can do is vote for someone who may or may not be lying just to get into office. There is no hope that a better manager of his kingdom might decide to claim your country for himself and improve it.
Because a monarchist would have them put to death for being lazy and useless.
The show killed the story for me. I don’t care any longer.
