Stay as far away from any of them as is humanly possible.\u00a0 Don\u2019t live in or near any of the megalopolises.\u00a0 They are the most concentrated form of the poison, the quintessence of the contagion that is the Leftist culture.\u00a0 This one precept alone will improve your life immeasurably.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t send your children to schools that teach them to despise you and your way of life. What this means is that you will have to evaluate the schools in the place you want to live and ascertain that some school exists that doesn\u2019t fall into the category mentioned above.\u00a0 As a corollary you\u2019ll have to make sure you can afford to send your children there.\u00a0 So maybe this is a public school in a normal area or a religious school or a private school or even home school.\u00a0 But protect your kids from the Leftists.<\/li>\n<li>Work for the company or in the industry that is least dominated by Leftists. This is a more difficult task and is sure to involve compromises because almost all businesses are to one extent or another compromised by the presence in at least the human resources department and probably the executive suite, with people who are part of the Leftist collective.\u00a0 Years of affirmative action legislation and Ivy League indoctrination have altered all of these companies such that social justice virtue signaling is a part of the daily routine.\u00a0 As I said this is a difficult call.\u00a0 If you want to work as a lawyer or a doctor or even to a certain extent as an engineer, architect or an accountant you will be sacrificing your right to say out loud what you really think about the leftist policies that your company espouses.\u00a0 And if you hope to reach upper management you will have to burn incense to Caesar.\u00a0 Maintaining your self-respect is the question here.\u00a0 If you enjoy leading a double life while taking their coin then maybe you can make it work.\u00a0 But that\u2019s your call.\u00a0 From a practical point of view having a trade that allows you to be an independent contractor or even a small business owner is probably your best bet for escaping the Leftist business world.<\/li>\n<li>Before deciding where to live make a point of knowing who runs your town government, your school board, your police department, your county government, your county sheriff, your state representative, your state senator, your district attorney and your governor. If it turns out that most of these people are Leftists then maybe you are looking at living in the wrong place.<\/li>\n<li>Become politically active in your local area. If you have the time and the talent run for local office and make things better.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re a man find a good woman and marry her and support her so she can make a home and raise a family. If you\u2019re a woman find a good man and marry him and make him support you while you raise a bunch of nice kids. \u00a0That\u2019s the hardest and easiest job in the world.\u00a0 It\u2019s the easiest because it\u2019s as natural as breathing.\u00a0 It\u2019s the hardest because the system that\u2019s been built up over the last hundred years has stacked the deck against the normal one-income family.\u00a0 Once again compromises will be needed unless you have supportive parents who can provide boosts as needed to get over the humps like buying a house and surviving economic downturns.<\/li>\n<li>Tell your kids the truth about the world and the lies that have been built up by the Left. Tell them the truth about what they\u2019ll have to do to thrive in the world they find themselves in.\u00a0 Support them in getting started in the world.\u00a0 They are your greatest possessions.<\/li>\n<li>Locate other families who believe the things you believe in and spend your time in their company. Think of family activities that you can do on a regular basis.\u00a0 Minor league ball games, bowling, movies, laser tag, paint ball, camping trips, bible study, museum trips, performances of Shakespeare (normal ones), rock climbing, tennis, whatever.\u00a0 Just as long as it\u2019s wholesome and you can do it as a family.\u00a0 Form a community of people that support each other and believe in the same things.<\/li>\n<li>Form a men\u2019s club. The wives can have their own club where they play cards or talk about books, recipes, children\u2019s problems or make fun of their husbands.\u00a0 But the men need a club just for them where they can be men.\u00a0 They can go somewhere and shoot guns and play poker and complain about their wives and their kids and everything that\u2019s wrong with the world including the Leftists that we hate so much.<\/li>\n<li>Take care of your own. That means till the day you die.\u00a0 Kids, grandkids especially are your primary responsibilities.\u00a0 You have to pass on to them the same help you hopefully received when you were young.\u00a0 But parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and any other relatives that need your help are family too.\u00a0 And believe me I know that there are exceptions that are just impossible.\u00a0 I\u2019ve met some of them, the ones that will steal the money out of your wallet to get a fix.\u00a0 But most people are lucky enough not to have those exceptions in their family tree.\u00a0 So, family first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s a start. \u00a0Next time I\u2019ll work on one point in more depth but I like to outline things first. \u00a0I write this stuff out to help me arrange things in my own head because heaven knows I\u2019ve broken most of these commandments along the way.\u00a0 But since I\u2019ve taken the red pill, I\u2019ve done a lot better.\u00a0 The biggest goal is escaping New England but that is going to take the equivalent of Moses leading the Israelites across the desert to Canaan.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to have to get the grandchildren to come with me to pry Camera Girl away from here.\u00a0 But greater miracles have happened so I have hope.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>06AUG2020 &#8211; I have very limited wifi access for the next day or two due to the storm damage in New England.\u00a0 I will answer comments in a slower than usual manner.\u00a0 Sorry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone has heard someone use the red pill\/blue pill imagery from the movie, \u201cThe Matrix\u201d as an analogy for conservatives either waking up or remaining<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2605,2580],"class_list":["post-11639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","tag-living-free-inside-the-matrix","tag-two-americas"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
