The most revolutionary actions that we non-millionaire Little People can take are:

• be sexually modest & get married young & make lots of babies & never divorce

• give your children a hometown & extended family. That means never relocating for a better job. Plus give your children a home, not just a house. That means give them a stay-at-home mom.

• Eat only real food cooked from scratch, always, 24/7/365. No restaurants, never. No prepared & packaged foods, never. Never means never.

• Don’t vax. And do breastfeed.

• And homeschooling is the new mark of what remains of America’s leaner & meaner middle class; even upper income neighborhood public schooling means low class.

… See? fighting (a horned demon) evil in the streets seems so much easier. It’s easier to place the blame on our corporate oppressors, and on the shadowy supranational forces that run our government. That’s **easy**. It’s easy to blame the rich & powerful. It’s easier to risk getting shot in the streets, arrested, incarcerated.

That kind of courage is easier (because you don’t have to change yourself from what you shouldn’t be into what you should be).

Anyway, that’s the kind of courage that our oppressors want us to find 😡

They don’t want us to develop the higher-order courage required to take personal responsibility for our own moral failures: sexual impropriety, materialism, hedonism.

For my part, b. 1973, I grew up thoroughly indoctrinated in the 1960’s countercultural value system, and unlearning it was a long slow process through my late 20’s/ early 30’s.

“Better late than never!” 👍🙂❤️

You mention that courage is contagious and I would certainly agree. I saw this with the trucker convoy when ordinary people rose up in defiance and solidarity against the harmful policies and mandates. And even though the controlled media called it a fringe minority akin to terrorists, and leaders froze bank accounts, enacted emergency laws and forced submission and prosecution of the organizers, it still changed history because the world was watching, and the issue forced some truth out and the mandates were subsequently dropped.

I think we have to wage a quiet war sometimes when faced with overwhelming and challenging circumstances. We need to internalize our resolve to be a solution for, and not the cause of evil. It might mean buying organic, gardening, healthy lifestyle, rejecting corruption, poisons, indoctrination, and so on. What you read, what you watch, what you say is important.

I see many beautiful people rising up, taking the heat, going against the narrative, and getting punished. It strengthens my resolve, to fight in my quiet steadfast way. They can't take that away.
