Stoicism is popular because apathy is the sickness of our age and stoicism glorifies it. Stoicism is cope for living in a dying society. Stoicism is managed decline. You need to become anti-stoic. You need to become so passionate it’s self-destructive.

If Israel can revive Hebreƿ, æ language þæt hæs been dead for þusends of years, þe Anglosphere can revive þe venerable Old Englisc Latin alphabet. Englisc spelling ƿould make æ lot more sense ƿiþ æn alphabet ƿhich is actually suited to þe language's phonetics. Furþermore, it ƿould help to make Anglospheric Englisc sumƿhat illegible to þe þird ƿorld.

Some may be wondering (correctly) why I'm all over the place. I have no loyalty to a party, only a country. I have blood oaths to family and the Infantry only. I am a product of my experience. And what I've seen in Texas, I don't like. I am technically a resident of there. Stationed there 3 separate times since 2007. During my last stint, it became unrecognizable. I just left a few months ago. Walking through Austin or Dallas was surreal. It did not resemble anything close to what I imagine America being. It wasn't even "diverse" at all. Just me, whoever I was with, and infinity Indians or Muslims. Once upon a time I'd say "live and let live". But I can't anymore. I want to be in a country surrounded by people with a social contract. Folks that will help others in need for NO personal gain beyond doing what's right. The people pouring in to Texas don't do this for anyone who don't look like them. It's not conjecture, it's fact. When the Texas floods happened, Doc Chambers was out there assembling teams to pull people out of the water. No foreigners were volunteering to help. You see, that means something to me. It gets after the reason why we exist as a country. And I can't stand idly by and watch leaders just keep allowing that in perpetuity. All because they have more money in their campaign war chests, now they're untouchable? This was never the America the founders meant it to be. We should not be backing our demise and those who facilitate it, just because it's financially convenient. I'm going to drop this subject for now. I'm just tired of paying taxes so others can just give it away to our replacements. Replacements who, by their own actions, prove they don't give a damn about us.

The first English settlement in America began May 14th, 1607. The American revolution began on April 19th, 1775. America formally declared independence on August 2nd, 1776. (Yes, you read that right.) The Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3rd, 1783, ending the revolution. The current constitution was finally ratified on May 29th, 1790. 183 years. No 3rd world hell. No mass murder. No rains of frogs, cultists summoning Great Cthulhu from the sea, cats and dogs living together. None of that. Instead, those Constitution-less Americans forged a just and prosperous nation out of a wilderness inhabited by stone-age savages. Why? Because of who they were. The quality of a nation is the quality of its people. Full stop. If you have good people and bad laws, the people will fix the laws, and make them good. If you have bad people and good laws, the bad people will ignore the laws, and they might as well not exist. The tragedy of America is that our ancestors were so good, and surrounded by so much good, that they stopped believing that people could be bad. And they let the bad people in. It's easy to call this notion of good and bad people "simplistic", but on a basal level, we all know it's true. We all know there's a difference between Jeffery Dahmer and Jeff Cooper, which has nothing to do with laws. It's just that some of us are too cowardly to confront this fact. To declare all men depraved just as cowardly as declaring all men righteous. In reality, these two delusions are the same, because they both tell the same lie... that all men are morally equal, that they must be constrained, or liberated, to the same degree. Wrong. There are good men, and there are evil men, and they are different. And it is our inescapable responsibility to judge which is which, and to treat them accordingly. It is an act of supreme cowardice to shirk that responsibility.

A few months ago there was some discussion on here involving BAP and Mr. Star about American industrialization, and how they don’t want Americans making toilet seat covers as a result of of industrial make-work programs. Their point had to do with low value work, and government supporting inefficient industries. Graft and waste aside, the thing is it’s actually really hard to identify *any* industrial work at all that isn’t a precursor for higher value work. Case in point here: Japanese toilet manufacturer Toto is one of the only companies in the world who makes critical ceramic components for chip fab. So I really don’t believe in low value industries.

I spent the weekend playing with Claude Code and I'm convinced that everyone worried about "AI taking our jobs!" must be working for a company that has no idea what to do with increased productivity. This is going to be great.

Yesterday the Court granted a Preliminary Injunction against Hoffman Tactical. Unfortunately this means we will be unable to fund this suit ourselves by selling my Super Safety. A Give Send Go has been created as a result to support our vast and expanding legal expenditures: givesendgo.com/hoffmantactic… Your aid is appreciated and will assist in paying for the attorneys, law firms, experts, and other expenses required in a case of this magnitude.

Do a follow. We're trying to speed run him to 1M.

I’m having a great time on here. It’s pretty wild. I had 32 followers less than 24 hours ago.

Fire!
