\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing that is certain.\u00a0 It\u2019s more than high time we stop making believe that we will restore things back to normalcy in America anytime soon.\u00a0 We will not be living in a country where a working majority of the voters want life to be like it was in the 1950s or even the 1980s.\u00a0 Those attitudes and ways of life have been replaced by social values and practices such as same sex marriage, affirmative action and feminism.\u00a0 If, someday, a reaction to these things came about then maybe we could return to a time where we all could complacently trust in the public schools and the federal government to perform their roles in providing us with the services that we expect.\u00a0 But as Dorothy famously stated, \u201cToto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.\u201d\u00a0 So, let\u2019s move on.<\/p>\n

Okay, glass half full.\u00a0 Going forward we get to decide how we deal with Big Brother.\u00a0 So, the government is working against you.\u00a0 Take that as a given.\u00a0 Also, a given, the current state of government surveillance is technically quite impressive.\u00a0 They have access to everything you write and even a lot of what you say and, heaven help us, they can even figure out a lot of what you think.\u00a0 So that\u2019s bad.\u00a0 But on the good side, they\u2019re mostly not that bright.\u00a0 So, if you don\u2019t hurl yourself into every pit trap and snare that they\u2019ve very clearly set up for you it should be relatively simple to avoid being dragged off to the gulag, for the most part.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s great news!\u00a0 There are all kinds of great things that have been created here in the United States.\u00a0 Enjoying a more or less first world infrastructure and economy is a major advantage.\u00a0 And North America is a majestic place.\u00a0 The only trick is to avoid the Leftists that infest it and make life horrific.\u00a0 So, that\u2019s what we need to do.\u00a0 You need to organize your life to avoid the institutions and limitations that the Left has put in place.\u00a0 First and foremost, you have to protect your children from the school system.\u00a0 And that\u2019s a big effort.\u00a0 Private school is very expensive and homeschooling is equally difficult for most people.\u00a0 Another choice is moving to a jurisdiction that has school choice or somehow still has a non-leftist school environment.\u00a0 But it is totally necessary to address.\u00a0 And you have to educate your children about the realities of life in the new America.\u00a0 You have to give them \u201cthe talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

What about woke corporations?\u00a0 How do you avoid working for them?\u00a0 Well, maybe you can.\u00a0 Tradesmen don\u2019t have to worry about this.\u00a0 They can be self-employed or work for small businesses that fly under the woke radar.\u00a0 And then there is the tactic of working clandestinely inside of a woke corporation without exposing your true colors.\u00a0 Admittedly that is a risky plan and it could backfire.\u00a0\u00a0 After all things could become very difficult with respect to the woke environment especially if you get into the higher echelons and your personal life might come in contact with the crazier types where you work.\u00a0 You might become exposed as a normal person and that could lead to you being expelled from \u201cthe body.\u201d\u00a0 The financial fallout from something like that could be catastrophic, especially if you have kids in college and other very expensive commitments.\u00a0 So, working for a woke corporations is a very tricky proposition for people on the Right.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the question of where you live.\u00a0 Ideally you live in a scarlet Red State and far, far away from any city awash in crime.\u00a0 Of course, for some of us this is extremely difficult because of personal and family circumstances.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have the luxury of relocating then once again, you\u2019ll have to do the best you can to minimizing the danger of living in a lawless region.\u00a0 At the very least live as far as you can from these danger zones by putting a long commute between where you have to work and where your family lives.<\/p>\n

And finally, one of the most important considerations for living successfully inside of occupied territory is locating and cultivating the company of like-minded people as your friends and associates.\u00a0 And this means actual neighbors and also people in cyberspace.\u00a0 Both are important and both provide an aspect of support that will make life more rewarding.<\/p>\n

So instead of waiting for the glorious revolution when the Leftists will be perp walked on their way to Gitmo start living in the here and now.\u00a0 Take the reasonable precautions and develop your environment regardless of whether you\u2019re in rural Florida or San Francisco, California.\u00a0 Now maybe finding another country to live in, like Hungary might seem like a better solution.\u00a0 Personally, I\u2019m evaluating that option myself.\u00a0 But that\u2019s an enormous change and almost no one is ready to go that far.\u00a0 Yet.<\/p>\n

But definitely don\u2019t let the horror of the Left destroy your life.\u00a0 Think rationally about their areas of control and how to circumvent their influence.\u00a0 I think you\u2019ll find there are ways to endure and even thrive in this brave new world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
