A similar problem exists for nation building. The Founders risked their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to create a new nation for their posterity. All this war on family ties, inheritances, Privilege, and border enforcement eliminates the incentive to overthrow bad governments to replace them with something better.

Let the mobs burn and loot and pillage. Let them cancel and censor and scold. I believe greatness comes not from being free from fear, but from a courage and disagreeabless that are possible only in a world of risks and dangers.

The idiocy and historical illiteracy of the woke movement has inspired me to better understand history. Their arrogance and intolerance have inspired me to better understand other faiths and to find those same seeds of contempt within my soil, and to eradicate them wherever I can find them.

I have become who i am, the best parts of who I am, in large part because of good clear examples, or what to be, or what not to be. The world of full of great examples of both. I think we’ll see increasing acts of artistic greatness who achieve immortality because, not inspite of the rapidly changing values. Only the eternal and timeless can stand proud in an era this tumultuous.

So I say, more mores! More insane academics! More progressive authoritarianism! More vacuous pop art, more thought pieces! Give the people something to wipe their asses with while they shiver in the dark, just like their ancestors, only we shiver because our leaders reflected our own personal failings - not through lack of knowledge or ability, but through abdication.
