After a while we’ve said everything there is to say about the death trap we’ve walked into. Everyone of us has read the umpteenth article on the managerial elite and the Global American Empire. We’ve read the debates back and forth over whether this is a neo-religious cult or a cynical grift that the leaders of the Left have cooked up to keep the drones busy while they pilfer the treasury, or both. It’s all been said.
So, what’s left?
Well, what’s left is us. We still have to live. We can’t just retreat to our living rooms, stop eating and die. We’ve got things we want to do. For some it’s family and responsibility. For others it’s freedom and adventure. But whatever it is we have to devote a certain amount of our energy to counteracting the intentional harm that our dysfunctional regime heaps upon us in innumerable ways day in and day out. And chronicling these problems and pointing out the work arounds is one of the useful things that can be done by someone writing about our lives.
And we can pass along stories of victories and defeats. Maybe one of our guys passes legislation to protect our side from some old or new atrocity. Maybe some unlucky hero stands up to the thugs and gets railroaded into prison for the rest of his life. All these things are useful because they teach us about what’s really going on. Even if these stories find their way into the mainstream media the spin on them makes them almost unrecognizable. So, the only place where you’ll hear our side of what’s going on is in some source like this. And it’s the only place where the readers can comment on these events and give their own opinions.
And that’s another function of this activity. It provides a means for like-minded people to speak their minds and pass information back and forth. And that is valuable both as a means of communication and to improve morale. Feeling alone makes our plight almost hopeless and if you can see that others are out there it encourages you to keep going.
And another reason that these sites are useful is that they provide a place for things that the outside world has eliminated. As the world fills up with TikTok influencers cross-dressing their way into our hearts places like this can review movies and books that reflect the old way of thinking. I can put up quotes by Thomas Jefferson and Rudyard Kipling that express thoughts that are strictly forbidden by modern leaders of government, academia and even the churches.
And finally, this site can allow us all to have a little fun from time to time by expressing our individuality. One of the guest contributors can put up a photo or a story that means something to him. And there may be a resonance in the other viewers. There’s some camaraderie in being in a hated minority. The plucky rebels can feel pride in standing up to the evil empire even if it’s just by calling out the crimes they commit.
So, just for today I’ll omit the rant against the managerial elite and the Global American Empire. They’ll still be there tomorrow. Today I salute Orion’s Cold Fire and all of its denizens. From the lurkers and the regulars to the ringleader himself. Long may we meet and grouse about the world.
