They say that, \u201cWednesday\u2019s child is full of woe.\u201d\u00a0 And today was a day of woe for yours truly.\u00a0 I had to catch up with an assortment of tedious chores.\u00a0 But I will confess that it allowed me to feel extremely virtuous.\u00a0 Finally, I\u2019m completely prepared for the first storm of the winter.\u00a0 Good.<\/p>\n

I read a post called \u201cHow the Next Civil War Begins<\/a>\u201d by a guy named B. Duncan Moench.\u00a0 His ideas fall in line with a lot of things that are floating around in the air.\u00a0 His version has red states rejecting the results of the 2024 elections and calling for secession.\u00a0 Well, okay, maybe.\u00a0 But who knows and it\u2019s definitely not something that debating about is going to clarify.\u00a0 As the mathematical types might say, the solution of the problem is currently indeterminate.\u00a0 The boundary conditions are unknown.\u00a0 Quoting Dr. Flankon in the seminal movie \u201cMatinee,\u201d \u201cHuman-insect mutation is far from an exact science.\u201d\u00a0 And so is predicting the exact schedule of a collapsing empire.\u00a0 You just can\u2019t rush a revolution.\u00a0 It\u2019s like a cake in the oven.\u00a0 Peek in on it too soon and it falls flat.\u00a0 So, I\u2019ll leave such speculation for when something definitive happens.<\/p>\n

Today I was thinking about what a wonderful time it is to be red-pilled.\u00a0 Now that I can disown the dominant cultural and social institutions of American life, I feel incredibly free and alive.\u00a0 Once I knew that I won\u2019t have any control over those aspects of the world around me I\u2019ve been able to detach myself from them.\u00a0 Now I concentrate on the things within my control and try to restrict as much as possible my interactions to people who share my world view.<\/p>\n

Someone might say I\u2019m isolating myself from the real world.\u00a0 But I think it\u2019s just the opposite.\u00a0 Those who believe in complete absurdities like transgenderism and defunding the police are the ones detached from reality.\u00a0 I\u2019m part of the community of the sane.\u00a0 And no matter how fragmented and vilified by the imbecile majority we may be, I have to consider us the privileged ones.\u00a0 Because we can see.\u00a0 And walking around amongst the blind is an advantaged position.\u00a0 We can see where the madness of the crowd is leading and ultimately that should allow us to avoid falling over the cliff with them.<\/p>\n

Now granted, sometimes it feels a little lonely to be surrounded by the insane.\u00a0 There is a certain alienation when most of the people you see around you or online speak gibberish.\u00a0 But eventually we\u2019ll get used to it and just avoid it as much as possible.\u00a0 It\u2019s like those reality tv shows.\u00a0 When they first began to proliferate, I was depressed to think that these were now the entertainment we were supposed to watch.\u00a0 Eventually I saw that this was just a sorting process.\u00a0 People could find their own level and gravitate to the entertainment they preferred.\u00a0 Granted, good things to watch seem to have gotten rarer but the same principle applies today as before.\u00a0 Mostly it\u2019s a matter of learning how to research what you want.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s entertainment or political opinion or news.\u00a0 You just have to be a little pickier to find what is worthwhile.<\/p>\n

And maybe it\u2019s all to the good.\u00a0 Choosing the company you keep may be the better way all around.\u00a0 Maybe universal brotherhood is an impossibility.\u00a0 And as it turns out there are an awful lot of crazy people out there.\u00a0 Having them self-select to be my enemies may be the best way to go.\u00a0 It\u2019s like those BLM and rainbow banners on car bumpers and houses.\u00a0 They give me fair warning that \u201chere be monsters.\u201d\u00a0 You can\u2019t ask for more than that.<\/p>\n

So, thank you Managerial Class, Deep State, Intelligence Agencies and Election Fraudsters for clarifying the situation.\u00a0 I\u2019ve parted ways permanently from you and yours.\u00a0 Now you\u2019re just the obstacles that I steer around while I\u2019m living my life.\u00a0 And you\u2019re the contrast that I can compare my actual friends to.\u00a0 Good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
