Lettre à l'Amérique, d'un Français qui a vu la fin du film.

Vous vous croyez encore le dernier pays libre. Vous l'êtes pour l'instant. Je vous écris depuis un pays qui l'était aussi, et qui a signé sa reddition sans qu'un seul coup de feu ne soit tiré.

En France, l'État capte et redistribue 57% de tout ce que la nation produit. Cinquante-sept pour cent. Arrêtez-vous sur ce chiffre. Pour chaque unité de valeur créée par un ingénieur, un ouvrier, un fondateur qui a risqué sa peau, plus de la moitié transite par une main qui n'a rien bâti. Ce n'est pas une ligne budgétaire. C'est une hypothèque permanente sur l'existence des gens.

Et voici ce que personne ne vous avouera : ça n'arrive jamais par la révolution. Personne ne vote pour le déclin. On vote pour la compassion, pour la sécurité, pour la justice, pour la planète. À chaque étape, on troque un morceau de liberté contre une promesse. Et les promesses sont toujours belles. C'est ça, le piège.

Le collectivisme d'aujourd'hui n'agite plus le drapeau rouge il a compris que ça ne se vend plus. Il a appris à parler la langue du soin. ESG, gouvernance, conformité, « responsabilité » : ce sont les mots nouveaux d'une très vieille idée. L'idée qu'une élite éclairée sait mieux que vous ce qui est bon pour vous, et qu'il faut donc lui transférer, ligne après ligne, le pouvoir de décider à votre place. Ce n'est pas un complot. C'est pire : c'est un consensus. Personne ne se cache. Tout se fait à visage découvert, applaudi, subventionné.

Hayek l'avait écrit il y a quatre-vingts ans : la route de la servitude est pavée de bonnes intentions et de planification centralisée. La France a marché sur cette route en souriant. On a nationalisé le risque, socialisé l'échec, taxé l'audace, et administré tout le reste. Résultat : un pays magnifique qui ne construit plus rien, qui gère sa décrépitude avec une élégance funèbre, et où le jeune le plus doué rêve d'une seule chose partir. Beaucoup atterrissent chez vous.

L'Amérique a encore ce que nous avons perdu : le réflexe de bâtir plutôt que d'administrer. Le fondateur y est un héros, pas un suspect. La réussite y est une preuve, pas une faute à expier. C'est votre trésor. Et un trésor, ça se perd sans qu'on s'en aperçoive un formulaire, une agence, une « bonne cause » à la fois.

Alors ne cherchez pas d'ennemis cachés. C'est inutile et c'est indigne de vous. Regardez plutôt le chiffre. Regardez la France. Chaque point de PIB que vous laissez glisser vers l'État est un point de liberté qui ne revient jamais.

La liberté ne meurt pas assassinée. Elle meurt anesthésiée, sous les applaudissements.

Ne signez pas. Construisez.

AB is not separating from 'The East' exactly - other than Quebec - but rather from the overreaching authoritian governments The East keeps electing. If the peoples of The East would just let The West live our own lives not subject to their views on society and industry we'd be just fine.

"...I'm afraid your sense of what a Canadian is is sorely lacking."

Hmm... Thanks for that, Ryan.

I'm not sure on what basis you make your criticism that I am lacking in my sense of what a Canadian is. Somewhat curious a criticism to make of a 12th generation North American whose Loyalist ancestors helped build and defend contemporary Canada including passing the first anti-slavery legislation in the British Empire and founding several Ontario towns and cities, and who has spent decades practising law.

But, out of respect for you, my sense is that we may differ in respect to Multiculturalism versus pluralism.

I embrace pluralism. Canada is a pluralistic society composed of people from numerous homelands, cultures and ethnicities. Heritage and background are to be respected and treasured but not put on a pedestal. Rather, we should all be equally Canadian. In my view, we should strive for equality and unity. We should celebrate all Canadians as Canadians.

You may embrace Multiculturalism which elevates a person's heritage and background to a seemingly equal status as their Canadian identity. Thus, the phenomenon of hyphenated Canadians and legislation like the one we are discussing. Thus, the credo of "diversity is our strength". But it's not. Diversity has been a source of division and Multiculturalism has been a failed experiment, imho. It has not brought Canadians together but pulled Canadians apart.

In my view, the path forward for a stronger, more united Canada is a welcoming nationalism that sees Canadians of all backgrounds as equal Canadians and seeks to bring Canadians together. I think the Justin Trudeau years have made obvious the failure that is the path of post-nationalism and multiculturalism.

Cheers.

@MarcMillerVM After the first sentence I thought you were going to do something about the 100s of cburches you watched burn. My bad.

@HomerPavlos Look at that gorgeous bronze age armour

@Michphil1998 So many self-hating cucks on this thread, happy for a bunch of cos-playing grifters to have a veto on what questions we are allowed to ask each other.

What we’re seeing on X these past few days is insane.

> They’re trying like maniacs to convince you that Achilles is not a hero or a role model, even though he was the greatest role model in the West for 3,000 years.

> They’re trying to convince you that he had a sexual relationship with his dear brotherly friend Patroclus, even though Homer says nothing of the sort. On the contrary, Homer mentions his relationships with women, states that Achilles has a son, Neoptolemus, and that at Patroclus’ funeral, Achilles and Briseis weep because he didn’t manage to marry them. That’s what Homer writes.

> They’re trying to convince you that he shouldn’t be a role model for men because he was weak and a “cry baby”.

This is being said by uneducated barbarians whose sources are the movie and secondary interpretations.

They want you weak and disillusioned with classical studies.

All these pseudo intellectuals have invaded the academic community of classical studies and archaeology and are trying to completely rewrite the facts in order to repel you.

They want to fully control classical studies the same way they control art.

Because if they control the Classics they will control the civilizational narrative.

Don’t fall victim to their Marxist anti-Greek and anti-Western propaganda.

Achilles was, is, and will always be the role model of a healthy man.

Never forget that Alexander the Great slept with a copy of the Iliad (from Aristotle) under his pillow, along with his dagger. His role model was Achilles, who was also his ancestor on his mother’s side.

Never forget that.

Tonight in Buffalo NY, the singers microphone stopped working. Listen to them.

The CDN Govt wants us to turn our back on these people, and choose Beijing

In 1910, with only the shirt on their back, these settlers came across the ocean to the unknown land of Canada, and in less 20 years had outworked, outcompeted and outperformed the people who had been here since time immemorial

And that we are told, is these settlers fault

Welcome to Canada's Indigenous Province

Join me as we look at a comparison of Indigenous Province, to the rest of Canada's Provinces🧵

The algo is killing the reach, so appreciate the share

[Semantics Dome @template_human]

@junonewscom @TaraArmstrongBC Why does the province fund them at all? They are wards of the federal government not provincial, and they are getting $30B+/yr from federal coffers already.

@razorfist I love how her take on directing is about what she wants to say rather than what people want to see.

@valdombre Renewal of what? Citizens?

[Semantics Dome @template_human]

@JimMcMurtry01 Shift the Overton window. I dont buy the whole concept of aboriginal title. How could they have something pre-contact that only existed in the laws of the settler? Trees dont have title. Salmon dont have title. How did our laws retroactively get applied to the conquered?

Me: Here is a tsunami of evidence showing how people from societies X are destroying our civilization.

Wood Cricket Westerner (WCW): Yes but empathy.

Me: Here is more evidence.

WCW: Yes but sympathy.

Me: Here is more evidence.

WCW: Yes but compassion.

Me: Here is more evidence.

WCW: Yes but kindness.

Me: Here is more evidence.

WCW: Yes but tolerance.

Me: Here is more evidence.

WCW: Yes but acceptance.

Me: Our civilization is being eaten alive. It is going to be a very very very ugly future for your children and mine.

WCW: I'd rather die and having my children killed knowing that I'm empathetic, sympathetic, compassionate, kind, tolerance, and accepting of those who rape and murder us. I'm a good person.

@Dave_Eby What do you call someone who gives away citizens' rights and commom and private property in backroom deals with professional grifters?
