The Last Man Revival

Never make exceptions to your own rules. They wouldn't exist without good reason. Rules are shaped from our failures and exist to prevent us from being fooled or making the same mistakes twice. Only your enemies want you to doubt the necessity of your defenses, to compel you to break your own rules, because doubt spreads like cancer throughout the mind and erodes the integrity and faith of an individual, and defying one's principles leads them one step closer to the banishment of principles altogether. You should immediately challenge anyone who begs for disarmament, who influences you to act in ways that deprive you of strength, or make you needlessly vulnerable to attack. Only those who seek to do you harm would ever compel you to debase yourself in such a way. The act of making exceptions is suicidal. Embrace dogma, relish in your respective echo chambers, and lean into tribalism instead. If nothing else, your tribe will grant you strength.

God speed you, unBanned.

Patriotism and social justice are synonymous. Republicans, conservatives, libertarians, and democrats alike are simply neoliberals with added steps. They're moving parts that make up the whole of this obsolete structure that governs our lives, and are thus equally complicit in the cultural poverty we're presently faced with. Is there anything worth salvaging from this machine, or was our Achilles heel pre-built into our American way of life from the very beginning?

If it were up to these so-called patriots they'd simply repeat the same mistakes that led to the very vulnerability that marks our present-day. They'd thrust us right back into this multiculturalist crucible that divided us into fragmented teams all raging for the very system that slowly poisoned our culture to begin with. Their weakness, complacency, and sentimentality over fantastical ideals that are easily abused by our enemies is a detriment to us all. You don't get to have it all without first soaking your hands in the blood of your enemies. If you're unwilling to accept the risks of confronting the savage nature of man by standing toe to toe with it on the battlefield and fighting for your life, then you're undeserving of the benefits of victory and have no place in our tomorrow. If you refuse to pick a side, then others will choose for you.

Those who claim to be patriots and yet stand idly by while their country and culture is intentionally undermined by external forces are nothing more than roadblocks that stand between us and the route to imposing meaningful change upon this tried and failed system that dictates our lives. They'd sooner vilify and denounce men who actively engage the corrupt system and its structures as terrorists and bigots rather than participate in any productive capacity due to their non-aggression principle. These people would sooner concede to our enemies through their own inaction and wait until it's too late to influence the outcome of this conflict before realizing their mistakes than contribute to the war effort. It's easy to consider oneself a patriot without ever having to make a single difficult decision in one's life, but neutrality and indecision aren't characteristics of strength. No, they're the mark of a weak spirit that's incapable of shaping the world. The truly difficult choices have yet to be made.

We'll bury our heads in the sand as the apocalypse looms on the horizon.

Churches all over Canada are being burned to the ground much in the same way European Churches have been burned to the ground across the Atlantic. The reality is nobody really cares.

“I’m sorry I got you into this. I’m afraid I have less than a 50 per cent chance of living. I hope you have better than that.” - Louis Alexander Slotin

If homegrown terrorism is real, then alphabet soup agencies are the farmers, and I know what they use for fertilizer.

On legalism and brainrot: Credentialism, legalism, paperwork and bureaucracy are all results of a cancer over human culture and tradition. Rationalism in the 19th century with its many theories began legislating all traditions because it needed to assess populational consensus. What once used to be a tradition had to be turned into law in order to validate the existence of the state. This has also bled into human interactions - everything is contractual. And anyone can revoke a contract whenever they want to; but it is a gruesome process. The very act of attempting to turn human relations into paperwork has eroded societal trust in its entirety.

Hey, happy Pride month! All I wanted to say is you're not valid, nothing will be alright, and brother, we're all going to die. Hope you have a nice day repenting of your sins.

War isn't hell, it's divine. The absence of war is hell.

Those that outwardly express sentiments of self-loathing or claim to hate themselves don't actually hate themselves, but in fact love themselves in excess to the point of self-obsession. It's an expression of narcissism taken to a self-destructive extreme. The idea that one must form an opinion on the subject of themselves, one of either approval or disapproval, dulls their perception of things beyond themselves and undermines their own existence by inviting nihilism into their hearth. Their position illustrates a disconnect from their principles and values or a complete lack thereof. If one lived up to their principles and values and those values were good, then their disposition towards themselves would no longer matter because they'd be fulfilled.

Those who are tempted by promises of power are deprived of strength in the end because no such power is another man's to give.

Happy birthday, Ted.

"Beware those quick to praise for they need praise in return. Beware those who are quick to censor for they are afraid of what they do not know. Beware those who seek constant crowds for they are nothing alone. Beware the average man, the average woman, beware their love. Their love is average, seeks average, but there is genius in their hatred. There is enough genius in their hatred to kill you, to kill anybody. Not wanting solitude, not understanding solitude, they will attempt to destroy anything that differs from their own. Not being able to create art they will not understand art. They will consider their failure as creators only as a failure of the world. Not being able to love fully they will believe your love incomplete, and then they will hate you, and their hatred will be perfect." - Charles Bukowsky

These artists resonated with many of the youth and became quite popular as a result of their music, which had gained rising popularity by this time and was seeing a golden age within their respective cliques. Those who rejected Christianity in their waking life were subconsciously absorbing its messages through the lyrics to these songs, which served as an open invitation to their hearts through which faith could now reach them, and an open doorway to the church for some of them to later walk through when they found ourselves ready to. I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, but I now understand the beauty behind the methods they'd used to subvert the materialism and vainglory that'd been instilled in many of us. It's reminiscent of the Orthodox priests who stood outside of hardcore punk venues and handed out fliers and zines that exclaimed "Death to the World," in an attempt to appeal to those who were the most at risk of losing themselves to the meaninglessness of this troubled era.
