If people do not speak up when faced with a vocal minority trying to impose their radical views on society, the silent majority and their children will face dire consequences, said rapper and social commentator Zuby, encouraging the “silent majority” to stop censoring themselves.
“A silent majority may as well not exist,” he said. “I think there’s a silenced majority.”
As long as people stay silenced, then that vocal minority—even if it makes up only 1 percent of the population—will not be afraid to state their opinions, he said, because they are very vocal and bold.
People like talking about a “silent majority” because it makes them think that somehow by magic, things are going to turn around for the better, Zuby said in a recent interview for EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program.
”How can you win a fight if you don’t fight? How can you win a debate when you don’t speak?” he asked.
In a debate, if one person is “spouting off the goofiest, most ludicrous ideas” and the other person just sits there silently and nods, then the one who talks will win the debate, he said.
“Most Americans aren’t on board with the most extreme and radical and bizarre notions that are floating around out there,” he said, referring to the recent assertions that men can become pregnant or give birth. “Over 90 percent of people don’t believe that, but those people need to be willing to say something.”
A silent majority is weak when faced with a vocal minority, he added.
Then people wonder why the world has gone crazy, Zuby said, and his answer is that “it’s happened because most people have let it happen.”
“Most people are not being censored by the government or even censored by big tech or censored by social media,” Zuby said. “They’re censoring themselves.”
Breaking From Cowardice
“Over the past 10 years, we have had this pandemic of cowardice, and people are unwilling to say things in many cases that are objectively true. … They are afraid of repercussions,” he said, adding that cowardice and courage are both habits and they’re also both contagious.
When people start acting like cowards, it can affect others around who will start behaving like cowards, Zuby said.
“When one person stands up, starts speaking out, and using their platform to either state their opinions or to state objective facts, it encourages other people to do the same,” he said.
“I know for a fact that I’ve encouraged thousands, if not millions of people out there in this world, to be a little bit more bold, a little bit more courageous.”
Zuby made a disclaimer that he does not encourage anybody to be radical or go to extremes. He said he encourages people to be willing to say what they believe to be true, or what is true; to have conversations, debates, and discussions; and to stand up and say “no” when being forced into something the person does not want to go along with, such as a mask mandate, a vaccination mandate, or calling people by made-up pronouns.
The rapper believes that nobody should be coerced to accept others’ opinions or punished for not accepting them.
He said that if a man decides he identifies as a chicken and feels most comfortable wearing a chicken costume and eating birdseed, that’s his right.
“I think it’s weird. I support your right to do it, though,” he said. “But then if you want me to—you want to force me to say that you’re a chicken and you want to force me to treat you as a chicken … no, I’m not doing that.”
People in the West understand the concept of “freedom of religion” and “freedom from religion,” he said.
Zuby explained that he has a right to his beliefs, a right to worship and pray, but he does not have a right to force others to accept his beliefs.
In the same way, people should not be coerced into believing or affirming radical new social dogmas.
‘The Power Is Always With the People’
People are giving up too many of their freedoms, Zuby said. “If you give them an inch, they’re gonna take a yard. If you give them a yard, they’re gonna take a mile.”
There are mayors, governors, presidents, prime ministers, World Economic Forum members, and other unelected people who like to call themselves the elites, Zuby said. “But they are less than 0.1 percent of the population. The power is always, ultimately, with the people.”
“Ultimately, you are the one who makes your choices. And when you understand this, and you take responsibility for it, and you take accountability, it can be a little bit scary to begin with, but it’s actually a very powerful and an empowering message,” he said.
One person can get their own life and family in order, and that helps the wider community to get in order, he said, adding that a country is a collection of communities.
“I look at things much more bottom-up than top-down,” he said.

Meanwhile in Philadelphia…..Wakanda is REAL!
“What’s going on in Chicago” Feral Africans , that’s what.
Until soy boy, bean counting fags like McDonald’s CEO can admit the truth, nothing can ever be done to solve the problem. It will fester and grow until it consumes everything, good, honest and productive in what was once a civilized nation. Feral culture is a fools culture and will only end in sorrow for everyone.
For Tim Wise of the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center) , crackhead, degenerate thug , George Floyd was a hero, but Ashli Babbitt was White trash that deserved to be putdown like a rabid dog.
Real humans don’t care what fake jews think.
Possibly the ugliest of our species I have ever seen….on a par with Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, David Rockefeller, George Soros and Zbigniew Brzezinski…they all look like creatures from an alien race. Evil often takes an ugly face but not always. Socrates was said to by quite ugly but he had a good heart nonetheless.
One good way to fight back is with humor it is a great tool for administering the “red pill” of truth. I use this technique in my writing and it is very effective.
As long as you understand what the consequences of such language is well in advance.
Please use me as an example. It completely altered the course of my life- for the better, thanks to Divine Providence- but you cannot ignore the damage it will do to your existing frame on this mortal coil. If you wish to continue you life as if it were “normal”, keep your opinions to yourself.
Many are silenced because of their j.o.b.s.
Pension whores, I call them…and they get furious when you speak out too…I know many and avoid them like the plague.
Many are silenced cause their too busy Jerking Off Basement Style…….
Zuby’s right. Cowardice is contagious so is bravery. I can honestly say I’ve never been afraid to
Take point on an important truth or be the trail breaker. Now it’s time for someone else to step up.
Is that John Lithgow’s little brother?
Lars looks like shit, must have sold his soul
Did posing with Luciferians give it away?
Sentiment understood. But. Speaking up, yet again, elevates symbolism floated on soundwaves far above any actual ground it can take, let alone hold.
A very active minority ~ the ones holding the strings of vocal minorities Zuby has in mind (not to mention strings on just about everybody else, too) ~ has held its tongue forever & is mostly still doing so.
“Talk it out” is therapeutic-speak, post-parenting, cards close to sweet-swelling heart chests but facing outward toward the table “poker.” High trust sewing circlesocieties is one thing, but hands up & out – shoot me – is ridiculous.
“If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?” ~ Anton Chigurh
What the psycho really asks is “To whom was the rule useful?”
Useful to the ones that “gave” you the rules, of course.
“The song was first released on Neil’s second album, the eponymous Fred Neil, released in late 1966. It was composed towards the end of the session, after Neil had become anxious to wrap the album so he could return to his home in Miami, Florida.[2] Manager Herb Cohen promised that if Neil wrote and recorded a final track, he could go. “Everybody’s Talkin'”, recorded in one take, was the result.
Toby Creswell writing in 1001 Songs notes that the song had parallels to Neil’s later life—like the hero of Midnight Cowboy, he looked “for fame to match his talents, discover[ed] that success in his profession isn’t all its cracked up to be” and wanted to retreat.[3] Five years later, Neil permanently fulfilled the promise of the speaker in the song, rejecting fame to live the rest of his life in relative obscurity “where the sun keeps shining / thru’ the pouring rain” in his home in Coconut Grove, Miami.[4][5][6] “
Sometimes a cowboy comes to realize he’s a been a cowed boy. First step of many more than just twelve is admission that you’ve got a been-had problem … that osama been laudin’ ya down a primrose path to a date with the baby SEAL abattoir, or Harvey Weinstein.
Mere talking, & actual communication, ex-communication even:: silence is golden (solitude is source) ((intro’s the better version)) (((☻))) ::
Great story about a wonderful song. And Black 47 may be one of my fvorite movies of all time.
I hope you come to NH someday, we’d have a lot to talk about.
Thanks Farmer, for the invitation. I won’t say absolutely, but its unlikely my story will have a NH chapter.
Black ’47 … (the fulcrum, that Brit Hannah will be spared being hanged for killing an Irish prisoner if he helps apprehend Feeney doesn’t add up — woke time machine) Does Hannah take the road to America, or the road to justice – & the consequences attendant? He’s older, experienced, been around, I think he knows moving the point from here to there doesn’t change the point at all, no family (dependents are useful hostages to the string-pullers who use them to suck the juice out of independence: it is total war, all the time, whatever the temperature): justice will be sweeter than American Pie could ever be: Pope is a dead man.
The bible belt ain’t what it used to be…
Amen. Zuby is “woke” in the right way. Keep up the fight Brother! RESPECT.
The early Americans were a different kind of people. They were “pioneers” and willing to risk life and limb to live as they chose to live. They were brave people. They were said at the time to have “pioneer spirit”.
The people in Europe who were not brave stayed and endured the poverty and dehumanization of the feudal systems. After the United States had been made safe to inhabit, the cowards that had stayed in Europe began to immigrate to the US. They immigrated in great numbers until they outnumbered the brave pioneers and their children, and children’s children became the vast majority.
Today they submit to the feudalism of the Federal government the same way their ancestors submitted to the feudal monarchies for thousands of years. Perhaps the willingness to submit to authority is in their DNA.
The edge of the knife does the cutting. Then the edge of the next knife does the cutting. Then…∞. Basically, Shane.
Eventually, billonaires may take a fancy to Teton views, run the millionaires out (who ran the thousandaires out who ran the hundredaires out…) & that’s the final cut. (And then Wyoming type places might produce Cheney type people … to keep the cutters cutting ever fatter slices.) For awhile.
Or cashed out Californians may seek to recreate paradise in Montana. For awhile.
Or Anasazi-land. For a while.
But see how far back goes the myth of property & ownership of said. The tax knife (not the only blade against ya’) is like negative compound interest to the successive waves of sodbusters & positive compound interest to that same ol’ wave of you know who.
Its turtles & knives all the way down. Even tho edges are razor thin & living by the short sword oughta be a rarer last resort than it is.
Are the sharpers just so sharp lots can’t even feel the slicing until its too late?
