This spartan defense against Persia is analogous to our situation today. Spartans consider these late-empire Persians to be corrupt and degenerate power-mongers, seeking to stamp out freedom and sovereignty. And let's be frank about our situation in the West. We stand at a very real precipice. Facing dangers of a sort never before experienced by our predecessors, and must now answer that weightiest of questions, to be or not to be.
We stand on the brink of collapse. We either find a means of cultivating and harnessing inspired leadership once again, in that Marcus Aurelius mold, Those that see power not as a privilege, or as a means of personal gain, or as an end in and of itself, but as the greatest of responsibilities, as a burden thoughtfully born by a fatherly nature at the head of a household towards a meaningful end. Or, we cede our world and its future to the merely ambitious and the forces they ultimately serve. A rootless and clamoring merchant class, stamping out culture and race and exceptional uniqueness of any and every kind, and finally human spirit itself, in the service of profit margins couched in false ideals as their cover. Men who seek the destruction of everything natural, conceptions of family, hierarchy, masculinity and femininity, gender itself, and wage a war against everything lofty and exceptional and beautiful. Because these ideas are so foreign to their small and cynical nature. They seek a world without depth or peaks, but rather that even keel of petty materialism, each generation a bit smaller and more tame and more easily controllable than the last.
So which way, Western man? Will the future be controlled by the pioneering, adventurous, heroic and courageous? Those always seeking new shores and Horizons, seeking to create, explore, expand, improve, instill order and structure and purpose? Or will this world become a marketplace ruled by the dollar and thus ruled by the masters of the dollar? This is our crossroads. After decades of shrinking, of being constrained and restrained, perhaps it's time to stand again, to break free of these fetters and once again become independent and fully formed human beings. If we're not capable of channeling that discipline, that back-to-basics clarity of mind, and that courage to face all obstacles and challenges, no matter how daunting they may seem, this world will become a very, very dark place. The Spartans made their choice to stand with unbended knee, loud enough to echo down through the generations. What will be our echo?Mums SK vajag lai būtu pārnacionāla kontroles sistēma un lai vietējie ģimenes tēvi nevarētu tik viegli sabīdīt lietas pa savam
