I know that tensions are high in the world and people are on edge about a lot of things. I humbly request that commenters on my posts please keep it civil, on topic and avoid any kind of petty arguments. I love reading viewpoints I disagree with and that I agree with. And if I misunderstand where someone is coming from, I will try to ask the commenter before reacting to what they've said. Please everyone, show each other courtesy and kindness as much as possible. Those of us here are so important to the future of society and we cannot afford to squabble amongst ourselves. When we do, the enemies of everything good rub their hands together in glee. I will leave comments alone for the most part, but if it gets too crazy, I'll delete them. I would hate to ever do that because it kinda goes against everything I believe about speech. Do let's disagree with one another if we must, but let's always be cordial and walk away if we have to. Thank you all for being here. Now, let's go fight tyranny, and not each other. 🙂

When someone is in control of their own life, adult to death, that person must plan for the long term or suffer in one way or another along life's path. When I became an adult, I had to get through the immediate but had an eye on what is next e.g., buying a car, a home, etc., etc. I believed that it was up to me to provide the means to achieve the things in life that would allow me to live and to experience some joy (marry, raise children, build and maintain my castle (home) the way that I (and my spouse/family) thought best.

It seems that the latest couple of generations have been fed a lie (mostly by "educational" institutions but also media and government) that they will never be able to achieve these things in any meaningful way and that their very existence is dependent on the assistance of the government. They have been taught that their parents, grandparents, especially if they are white, have co-opted opportunity and now there isn't enough opportunity for everyone. Such BS, I know but if the latest generations are not being told the truth, then they will believe what they are told. "You will own nothing and be happy". They don't know how to work towards the big goals (home ownership) and tend to focus on the "be happy" part.

I have read that there is a half dozen or so uber rich families who have been controlling the world through central bank financing from behind the scenes for centuries. I believe that there is at least some truth to this as I can find no other answer that can encompass such a large impact on various nations, societies over a long period of time. These wealthy families are thinking very long term and with their families' futures in mind. Everyone else are pawns if we choose to be.

When I tell a young person (twenty something) that they have a choice to be free or to be a slave they have no response as they did not know there was a choice to be made.

I believe that free-will thinking should guide the human species forward and not top-down control. If people give up their free-will for three hots and a cot, so be it, but not for me.

Reagan said it well (paraphrasing): it’s not that people on the Left are unintelligent or evil (though many clearly are), it’s that they believe so many things that just aren’t so. For short: they are brainwashed. From a spiritual perspective, since they largely don’t believe In heaven or even God, they have a burning desire to create heaven on earth. Borne of pride (the sin God hates most) they fight the reality of a sinful fallen world full of injustice tooth and nail and it makes them borderline insane and turns them into the monsters they decry. It’s for the children.

Good article Rob. I love to see how your writing is evolving.

Might I offer this article as a companion to this article? Understanding and combating the "Woke Movement" for what it is IS the battle of our lifetime. The sooner we understand this reality, the better, but we better do it soon.

I believe most can not be reached, they do as they are told and that's it.

The stress you place on individuality is the key here I think. I've always been of the opinion that an individual needs to come to their own conclusions, that way their actions are sincere. It does not prevent people from being deceived but a rigorous evaluation of one's own philosophy is the best we can hope for. "Do what thou wilt but harm none" is a good maxim from an unlikely occultist source. Regardless, it is thinking that points us in the right direction. What can we do? Turn away mostly. Refuse to take part in the reindeer games of the left. Ignore them and ridicule bad ideas, simultaneously building parallel systems of higher quality that push for win win outcomes. The problem gets serious when absurd systems are forced upon us. The same rules apply: noncompliance and mockery but the stakes just get higher. Live your truth. Be fierce. Stand your ground and let others live in the same manner.

I can understand how the left would be for forced vaccinations (it's for the greater good!), but I really don't understand the war mongering. Mick Jagger and Neil Young, what happened to you?

Actually, I know what happened -- you became terrified of death because you know you didn't really do much with your life.

Oh bless, some people still think there is a choice of left or right.

The Left is still around, we just got pushed out of the Party. We're old, mostly, and the youngsters are all brainwashed and addicted to their phones. They do what they're told and we talk to each other on Substack and marvel at how insane these people pretending to be "lefties" actually are... There's nothing but fascism and goofy mindfuckery going on there...

As for the traditional Leftists, I sort of was one, but not really, because I've always ALSO been conservative in some ways... The Righties also got co-opted and un-selected from their party, and also replaced with nonsensical insane people, just not as rabid and vociferous as the current Lef(acis)ts are...

We have to remember that this Globbist Psycho Parasite Fuckery has been planned for... DECADES!!!!!!!!!

and therefore we are reminded that undoing the stupid two-party system and replacing it with a two-potty system full of insanity has been slowly getting all the born-after-1970 kids rallied up into a lather of amazing stupidity and ignorance.

Oh, hell, that's enough of that... I'm trying to find something good to say about it, but it's giving me a severe need for chocolate...

"They want government to tell us who can be married and who we are allowed to marry (a permission slip from “the man”). "

Not sure what you mean there.

I like the Eisenhower quote, emphasizes how instutionalised most people have become.

Don't suggest it but maybe voting will be allowed for toddlers up.
