That food is cowardice, the bending of the knee. The rapid mutation of the willingness to negotiate reasonably has more often than not lead to agreements in which we lose more than we gain, or gain nothing at all. That is how we got here, cowardly parents let their awful children run their lives and households. Those children grew into young adults who overran their colleges and were coddled by infiltrators waiting to further radicalize them. Now those awful children and radical adults have begun to take to the streets both physical and digital and push their agenda to every corner they can reach. Whether it be through snake oil promises, violent intimidation or long reaching censorship they are determined to have their way. We must not let them.

At times things have been bleak, but now more than ever we must show bravery, we must be determined to stand up for and protect what we believe in and hold close. "If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to" These are true and morbid words that must inspire us. Our ancestors were willing to die in horrifically brutal ways to protect their families, culture, and country. The very least we can do is be brave enough to stand up against lies, terror, and malice where they tread even if merely with a voice of reason. You don't have to be a monster, just don't give them victory and foothold.
