This was a superb look back on what many now consider a golden era. As an old guy I can tell you that the Whitetopia of the 50s to 70s was not all that great either. The country was definitely whiter but the groundwork for much of what is wrong now was laid during and before that era.
It is great to see the growing awareness among young and not so young men that killing people for Israel who pose no threat to the US is not patriotic or glorious.
I came of age during the Vietnam War. I was working class and none of the fathers in our neighborhood cared if their son went to Vietnam. They had their war. Their sons could have theirs. The sons didn't care either. Caring whether they were sent to Vietnam didn't get them laid, help them buy a car or help the football team win.
Now a growing minority of people see that the media lies all the time and the military and police are not our guys even if many of the soldiers are our guys.
Whether this growing awareness of reality will ultimately change the trajectory of the country is another matter.
Good piece; always nice for hope to rooted to seeds that have already been planted. Sticking with plant analogies (sticking, get it? 😁), the grass is never greener on the other side, even the backside of history. It's greenest where it's tended to; fertilized, weeds pulled, watered.
It's all happened so fast. 10 years ago we were just a few thousand autists scattered around the country realizing that things didn't quite fit. Then Trump was elected the first time. Charlottsville, the growth of the Dissident Right through the pandemic years.
It's been a wild ride. It's great to see that we're beginning to seize the cultural helm. If we can wrest control of the West back from the hands of this deranged death-cult on the Left, there might be something left to save. The European man is nothing if not intrepid, and saving his civilization from the brink of his own hubris is very in-character for him.
Time will tell if the bargain of Faust comes due in this generation or if we can stave it off for a few hundred more years hence.
You speak of God. Whose God? The God of the ones who created this system and its multitude of fake opposition movements? Or our Gods, the Gods of war and of excellence?
Also just look at the crime, std, and divorce rates to learn just how fun "muh 90's golden age" was. But the GDP graph was constantly going up though!
Oh come on. Crime is way up. It just goes unreported now because it’s so commonplace. Same with sexual assault.
Will check out your authors on the crusades and if you have any history or other book recommendations would love to hear them.

Will investigate!
Wait, jogging lowers testosterone?
In general, higher-intensity burst activities are better for manly hormones than steady-state cardio.
Hm, okay. So sprinting is better than jogging?
Excellent! Thank you.

If you're interested, this is my own retrospective on the Culture War to provide context to a lot of the people who weren't there, or weren't tuned in when it started: https://alwaysthehorizon.substack.com/p/15-years-of-conflict-a-review-of?r=43z8s4

I'm talking about *the* God—
Best wishes to you, Commander Nelson...
