In a bizarre coincidence, I happened to rewatch Captain America: Civil War the same week that @DouglasKMurray and @ComicDaveSmith initiated the IDW Civil War on Rogan's show. I couldn't help but see the parallels, which I've written about in a new post: https://t.co/h3MrlYYp5n

@JoelWBerry People over principles

Or

Principles over people

Which would you sacrifice to preserve the other?

A new NBC News poll gave Gen Z a list of choices of how to define personal success:

Men who backed Donald Trump in 2024 rated having children at the top.

Women who backed Kamala Harris rated it second to last.

@JoelWBerry There are plenty of options if you weren’t determined to engage so unseriously with the subject.

Paleocon, post-liberal, traditionalist, etc

[Billy Jacques @BillyJacques]

All families are propositional at their origin. A man “proposes” to a woman.

Yet you wouldn’t call a family tree propositional. You incorporate external elements through marriage, but the core identifier is the biological lineage running through generations.

A nation may begin with a proposition. But it persists through lineage, not ideology.

@JoelWBerry Not disagreeing in principle but I don’t recall examples of industrial child sacrifice occurring in pagan Europe the way it did in Central/South America

If anything the abortion industry of modern “Christian” states takes the cake there

@ericweinstein There isn’t a single “network” of connected accounts of any persuasion that is 100% authentic, so what exactly are you trying to say?

[Billy Jacques @BillyJacques]

@MTGGoldfish This can’t be right, flying the British flag is illegal in Britain

Looks like Spider-Man is joining in on the UK protests!

Do you think that fatherhood is illegitimate because it is susceptible to tyrannical impositions?

Perhaps tyranny-immune is the wrong goal. How about high resistance to degradation?

Then maybe look to institutions which have lasted millennia for inspiration. Biblical family. The church. Etc.

[Billy Jacques @BillyJacques]

@Se7enball @JoelWBerry Agreed, but we find ourselves in a position where the government makes it illegal to reinstate those underpinnings that have been eroded over 250 years in the name of liberty, so what are we to do?

[Billy Jacques @BillyJacques]

@Se7enball @JoelWBerry Yes, the point is liberty, and liberty unconstrained is a devolving game. Liberty must be ordered, and the founding documents take for granted the substructure that ordered liberty in the colonies. The documents themselves are inadequate to restore that which orders liberty.

[Billy Jacques @BillyJacques]

This is funny because we’ve had 100 years of Roosevelts, Kennedy, Bushes, and Clintons but shame on anyone who wants a wealthy man of noble character to lead a violent overthrow of the current government

[Joel Berry @JoelWBerry]

@BillyJacques European aristocracy based on bloodline vs American aristocracy based on virtue, courage, accomplishments, etc.

[Billy Jacques @BillyJacques]

@TeaGeeGeePea @JoelWBerry I understand what you’re saying but I’m using the term as a descriptor of social/political/economic elites because they were clearly of a different social status than the majority of colonial Americans

[Billy Jacques @BillyJacques]

This is vague and disconnected from our current reality and also ignores that most founding fathers were already aristocrats due to privilege and position more than pure egalitarian meritocracy while many of our most prominent political leaders are essentially bloodline aristocrats already
