Want to save the West? Start by telling your children the truth.
A society that teaches its children to hate their inheritance shouldn't be surprised when they fail to preserve it.
Teach your children gratitude. Teach them why freedom matters. Teach them what made the West successful.
Because if you don't tell them the truth about their civilisation, someone else will tell them a lie.

No, no puedes trabajar de 9 a 5 y caminar 10,000 pasos al día, leer 2 libros a la semana, cocinar todas las noches, limpiar a diario, mantener amistades, cuidar de tu familia, cuidarte a ti mismo, dormir 8 horas, cultivar hobbies y ser completamente productivo en el trabajo todos los días.
Eso no es motivación, es una tontería irreal.
Libérate de eso.
Climate made us what we are. Europeans are a disciplined, well organised and moral set of ethnic groups because of WINTER.
This is still a new concept to most people that I speak to today, so I thought I'd post about it, fresh.
In a society that has a season where nothing grows, you have to plan accordingly, plough and sow a year before the harvest to give time for the grain to grow then harvest and store that grain to feed you throughout the winter, cut the grass for hay so your livestock will also have something to eat over the winter, stock up firewood and keep it dry so you don't freeze.
Indolent people or those with low impulse control are weeded out from the gene pool because they are a liability in such a society. They'd try to steal the bread made from the milled grain because they hadn't the foresight or industry to be a part of that chain of production.
We would routinely execute criminals because such societies were always on the threshold of starvation if anyone interfered with that careful seasonal cycle of production and distribution.
Contrast with Africa, the Middle East and India, where you could just reach out and pluck a fruit from the tree all year round. There were no real consequences for lack of planning.
This is yet another thing we owe a debt of gratitude to our ancestors for. Generations of them going back to the earliest farmers of the Neolithic Age, 6000 years ago, and reinforced in every generation and every winter ever since.
I'll be talking about this issue in my upcoming YouTube series about our ancestors (sneak peek on the Western Hunter Gatherers and Neolithic farmers attached), so stay tuned...
Your ancestors didn't have counselling sessions. They found comfort in the stillness of forests, clarity in the mountains, wisdom in the desert, and peace beside the ocean.
Highly recommend letting people know you're capable of madness from time to time. Especially if you're a quiet, soft spoken person. Disrespect sometimes needs to be met with disrespect.. let mfers know you can go from 0-100 real quick.
The Telegraph: Macron tore up 65 years of doctrine to defend Europe with French nukes, with or without the US.
Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, and now the Czech Republic will host French nuclear-armed Rafales. 1/
