Cupertino has cancelled the annual 4th of July fireworks show because of the drought. While the South and East Asian may miss their yearly entertainment, the significance of Independence Day is probably lost on most, if not all, of them, who at best subscribe to some form of the proposition nation and may not even care about that, so long as they personally benefit from the current system.
I've been seeing a lot of Muslim veils at the local Costco in Sunnyvale. When will the Supreme Court rule on polygamy for Muslims?
"Let it burn." There is a temptation to sit back and enjoy the decline. How do men respond rightly and with dignity to hostile forces seeking to subjugate them and to convert them to an ideology that hates Christianity? MGTOW is one solution, even if wrong-headed when taken as an absolute rejection of certain goods, but it does allow a man to live his life on his own terms rather than submitting to someone who does not have rightful authority over him. RooshV has recently begun formulating a more positive account of men, which he calls "neo-masculinity."
Resignation may be the only option, but this is not the same as capitulation.
Still, while we breathe what can we do to resist those forces and to promote the good life? For what purpose should men organize? What is worth saving? Traditional conservatives know the answers to these questions, though some Americans may have forgotten the role scale plays in setting limits. When do we withhold pearls (such as friendship but not charity) from "swine"? How do we treat those who are not only hostile to our values but seek to harm us financially or worse? Vox Day has taken one course of action -- there may be a lucky few who live in a community which has some measure of economic autarky and do not have to worry about boycotts and being fired and such. But what of those who are stuck in the megacities?
