Submitted by Steve Z

A hyper-conformity and blind obedience has infected the west. What are we to do about it?

Moar individualism is needed!

You did read the big “NOT” there at the end, right?

That was powerful and timely. When they told us natural immunity didn’t matter and take the jab anyway that was enough for any rational being to know we were getting played. Of course, you don’t take the risk of any “vaccine” (especially this one) if you’re already safe. Then what’s required is the courage of your convictions.

Thanks for posting.

“Good Times Create Weak Men”, And Weak Men Create Hard Times. The fourth turning can explain this phenomenon of an obedient, conformative society.

Our part is to break out of the societal normalcy bias. The page must be turned, and it will, as hard times are approaching. It is a natural correction. “Hard Times Create Strong Men” (Cycles of the herd.)

Men don’t want to marry women who support abortion on principle. Even if they never plan on having one, their mindset is too repugnant to tolerate.

Abortions for medical reasons are condoned, but harlots who get abortions because they are too lazy to use birth control need to be sterilized permanently.

Young women wouldn’t know what to do with an alpha male. We might as well be an alien species to them. We’re “toxic”.

But be of good cheer, ladies! You can have your pick of any man-bun wearing, pajama clad soy boi on the planet. You want to wear the pants? Let your “man” wear the dress.

Haphazard speculation, maybe. It seems as if though Many, Many of ‘Us’ are barely alive, and basking in ignorance of much. “Ignorance is Bliss”?

Maybe for a minute.

Great video Steve Z thank you – very much a call to action but I fear few will respond. The elites know that most will relish their slavery for the sake of comfort, bread and circuses – it has ever been so. Your Russian stalwart is a beacon of hope – his sacrifice was not in vain as it turned out.

I can’t listen to that stilted A.I. bot lecturing me about the cowardice of conformity. I do not comply with the irony. ANY of it.

Mankind has been relegated to domestic livestock for most of recorded history, it is not surprising that most people feel more comfortable in that role. The formation of the United States was the only country and society to ever experiment with personal sovereignty ( self ownership ) and it has proven to be a failure.
Being subservient slaves is now ingrained into human DNA and as illogical as it seems, being subservient is just more comfortable for most than taking personal responsibility for their own lives.

China and the E.U. are full of cowardly sissy boys, socialist globalists run these countries, but in the U.S. it seems there are few patriots left now (men and women) otherwise they would: pull their kids out of gov. schools, resist and not comply w/ covid shots and masking, get their family out of these “woke” pro LGBT 501c3 churches and homechurch, home school and get w/ like minded people.

Some of us value Life and will fight to defend it. The bad guys never take a day off. Why, then, should we?

Several generations taught in public schools and many colleges that socialism is best, and are programmed to be cowardly wussies and comply to globlaist agendas. America has been conquered by the globlaists ,and politicians in both parties have been compromised since they are incompetent. Civil war will soon take place if there are any able bodied alpha men left today. Even in retiree generation of mine, few exist.

Don’t sell us short. I see this as going down only one way: soon it will be open season on the globalists and their lackeys, and they will be annihilated. There are more of us armed and military trained Alphas (both male and female) than you might suppose. And we outnumber the so-called Elites by many millions. They can’t hire enough BLM and Antifa goons to do their fighting for them, so they hide in bunkers because they know how it’s going to go down. They fear us. Not the other way around! Let them try to round up us strays. I dare them!

Who do you think is us? What used to be us, has been long outnumbered by them. The people who now make up America are the problem, not the solution.

Reread my post. I don’t share your pessimism. Patriots are still the silent majority, unless you live on the I-5 corridor which has long been a lost cause. Arm yourself and take a stand. Otherwise you yourself are part of the problem.

We’ve blinded ourselves to our own family members joining Satan’s ranks and whistled past the graveyard.

The bill has come due.

I’ve said for 35 years that this only ends one way. Now, here we are at the end.

I hate being right almost as much as being wrong.

I wished what you believe was correct, but I know better. You must understand that this county and its principals were established by a special breed of people, a people they called pioneers. Pioneers were people who were willing to risk their lives both to make the journey here, and to survive in a hostile environment in which a very large percentage died. They were willing to do this to be free. Those not willing to take those risks stayed in Europe and tolerated sub-servitude to their masters.
After the journey and the life here became “safe” the “settlers” began to immigrate. They were of a different “spirit” than the pioneers, and lacked the bravery of the original Americans. As time went by, the pioneer bloodline has been deluded until it is basically almost non existent today. That is the sad truth.

You underestimate the power of envy. This degenerates into brother against brother very quickly. Trust me when I tell you that no matter what side you find yourself on, there are backstabbing traitors within your ranks. In your neighborhood. In your community. perhaps even in your own household.

We are…all of us…surrounded.

Fight accordingly.

We have never joined any civic club and for over 40 yrs never joined churches (attend one now where pastor is informed), cut times w/ most relatives (lack of trust) and keep to ourselves socially w/ few friends. Most ppl are dumbed down, shallow and lack left brain functioning (boring losers), and took the covid shots. Not my companions for sure. Even tho’ we lose in the end, better to be killed defending self/ family than be taken somewhere else.

Most people don’t want to be the first to get shot or arrested. Most want to be left alone. So that means cowardice and laziness . Two of the worst things to fight a potentate, tyrant, or Demoncrap on the loose.

Civil war will start in local communities then spread, when military or UN troops invade a community declaring martial law/lockdowns Chinese style. We must fight back

Because of fear conditioning, programming, indoctrination to the Authorities from grade school onward.

Growing up I was always told by the school faculty, law enforcement and juvenile dept. that “I have a problem with Authority”
I realize that now it’s because I will only bow and kneel before God.
I will render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s but my soul belongs to God.
