Every time some big piece of news comes out, we all express our collective outrage and then move on to the next big piece of news a few hours later. We're no better than the RINOs we complain about who pretend to care but then don't actually do anything. We need to stop sitting on our asses and expecting other people to solve our problems for us. This is OUR damn country, it's OUR responsibility to protect it. Voting was the absolute bare minimum you could have done. Don't feel proud that you simply voted correctly, that was just your duty.
I don't want to hear any dumb bullshit about taking back our country by force. That's stupid and emotional and won't work and is just about the laziest internet edge I've ever heard in my life. WSB proved that you don't need force to get something done. Hell, the left proved that with their subversion tactics throughout this year alone, and the TIME article only solidifies that.
We need to stop responding with irrational knee-jerk emotion and start putting together real ideas for the future. We need to be realistic. We lost. We're not going to fix anything overnight. It's going to be a long road ahead and we need to start planting seeds now, and it needs to be a combined effort. If we're going to boycott, we all need to boycott. 80+ million people can do anything.
Besides muh civil war, other stupid ideas that are just a distraction to keep you satiated and won't actually accomplish anything include:
- Secession
- Recalls
- Crying about Twitter
- Mocking the left on patriots.win
- Pretending to be a democrat
I'm not saying everything you do HAS to accomplish something, I get that sometimes you just need a place to blow off steam, as long as you understand that it's just a time sink.
Anyway, GOOD ideas welcome.
I love this sentiment. So much of what goes on in MSM is designed to distract and demoralize, and it contaminates what we ostensibly gather here for (HIGH ENERGY) with doubt and recriminations. A successful movement requires a militant approach. Militance requires deep knowledge of the economic and political theories we espouse and want to see be successful, and putting that theory into practice. I really think we as a movement need to read and discuss what we read more. This part may be painful, but I think we also really need to read and discuss opposing ideas in order to criticize them better, and see how their criticisms can make our theory better. All of the great men who came up with the ideas that built our civilzation and have the power to bring it to heights as yet unimagined were writers. Their ideas are right there on paper for us to grab hold of and understand.
I would love to see non-snarky discussion and exploration of books like these:
The Wealth of Nations - Adam Smith
Principles of Population - Thomas Malthus
On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation - David Ricardo
The Limits of Liberty: Between Anarchy and Leviathan - James Buchanan
The Road to Serfdom - Ludwig von Mises
Anatomy of the State - Murray Rothbard
State and Revolution - VI Lenin (using militance to crush the state, Bannon quotes it a bunch)
Capital - Karl Marx (good examination of production of surplus value, even if you hate commies!)
Rules for Radicals - Saul Alinsky (good to understand woke capitalism, using leftist tactics on leftists, and for formulating countervailing tactics)
