Larry Correia’s response here pretty much sums up my response to all of the above.
Why in thee HELL should I put my ass on the line (again), for a bunch of people (shrieking Karens, DEIsts, Obamatrons, screaming Jew-hating Hamas fanbois, etc) who have treated me and people like me (male and female) like dirt under their feet literally my entire life.
Yes, i am including people I had the misfortune to be related to by birth and who thought FDR was God Almighty- and also firmly held that Hitler “had the right idea about Jews”. (No, this s#!t didn’t start yesterday.)
They “needed the Black Vote” to keep those nasty Rs out of power- but they sure didn’t want any “Novembers” living within twenty miles of them.
And they were “feminists”. Who hated males on general principles.
These are the sort of people demanding that somebody “do something” to save, not “Western civilization”, but their exalted position in it. While they are busy despising it and those they demand “do something”.
I’m with Larry, but I extend it further.
They can all get f**ked, and then go DIAF.
One no doubt set by their BLAMtifa friends, at that.
As for me, I’ll be collating my collection of Backwoodsman back issues. I expect them to be very handy references in the years to come.
That these pathetic excuses for “enlightened” types have gone out of their way to create.
For my life, the one song lyric that sums it up better than all the others is Kristofferson (via Joplin): “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”
The first panel pretty much sums up the thought that keeps popping up in the back of my mind in unguarded moments. Why? What am I fighting for anymore?
When I re-read that strip I was reminded of what Dr. Jordan Peterson said, that what motivated the Nazis wasn’t pride or power, it was Disgust.
This is something we must guard against lest we stumble down the same path.
The Nazis were motivated by the same belief in their own perfection that afflicts post-modern progressives. The fact that both lots had/have many of the same dogmas (from Vegenism to primitivism to anti-semitism) is not a coincidence.
Homicidal pseudo-Utopians tend to be mystics rather than realists.

I wonder if the men of this nation, the real men, the ones who are quietly waiting for the time to come to stand up, still have it in their hearts to defend those who would not defend them in the court of every day…all the bitches on the View, and CNN, and MSNBC,etc….it’s one matter to take aim, and quite another to follow through…when presented with the opportunity….and it’s coming… just remember this….aim small, miss small….
I am reminded of line from the Star Trek episode “What Are Little Girls Made Of”.Kirk asks Ruk the Android “How can you protect someone who is trying to destroy you?”
The real reason why we won’t fight isn’t that we won’t its that we know, deep down, that to unleash the dogs of war is to say good bye to all we once were. It’s a hell of a thing to ask a man, to lay aside his pleasant demeanor, his gravitas, his nobility and take up arms knowing full well that this changes everything. He can’t go back, some won’t make it back and others will be lost for eternity but to each man, when the time comes, it comes and hell’s coming with us. So I sit on my porch keeping a weather eye and sharpening my ax.
When those of us who simply want to be left alone reach the tipping point of our tolerance for the self-serving fools who keep goading us, the scope of our revenge for being pushed to the breaking point will be without limit, and without mercy. Those of us who are fortunate enough to survive the conflict will go back to our solitude with a sigh of relief, even if we have to do it while standing ankle deep in blood, gore, and spent brass cartridges. The possums, buzzards, and other scavengers will be incredibly well fed. Politicians, legal beagles, and corrupt judges will be the first to feel our white hot wrath, followed in short order by legions of unelected bureaucrats. The area near the Potomac river will become a vast, uninhabited wasteland.
Today is a solemn day of reflection at my home, by the fire in the stove, reflecting on the events of exactly three years ago today. Do I stand up my 4×8 “Honk for Trump” sign in the truck and drive to the center of my town, or to Capitol Hill in Nashville and circle the heart of State government as we did when the FBI raided the home of our legally elected President, with US flag inverted? Death comes to us all; will I face it with a whimper or a shout?
Or no expression at all? Comes at time when it’s just crushing vermin. Not glory, not vengeance, not self defense or the protection of others. Just another vile chore that has to be done. Like pumping out the septic tank.
“Why defend a nation that’s half bitchy Karens, anxiety-ridden soy boys, screeching feminists, lgbtq child molesters,pedocrats, rinos, globalist deep-state military-industrial megalomaniacs all united in enslaving us for their united states of america?”
We should not defend that nation. We seek to defend and rebuild the nation that we once knew and want back for our children and grandchildren to experience to enjoy, the freedoms that our own ‘rents and grands fought to keep for us after the last big global scare that it could all go down in flames. The difference? Their war was against the rest of the world and ours is against our own internal world that no longer has any use for us and just wants us out of the way. So, give them what they want, let them have and live with, or die with, the last part of my little trilogy upthread, “don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone”. So lets be gone, let them have their hives of scum and villainy in the blue cities and their seat of entitlement and theft in DC, the evil shit that passes for entertainment in Hollywood etc…and build our own new sovereign nation modeled on the Constitution and the America we knew before, that our Greatest Generation saved for us and gave to us. Yes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I want that America, or the new one, back for me and mine…The Constitutional Republic of America, The CRA.
Why won’t men of the West fight? We will. Just need something to fight for.
It is for this very reason I discouraged both my sons and all my nieces & nephews from entering the military. I served 26 years in the USAF, just to see all the sacrifices made be pissed away by politicians who nothing but corrupt. And a society that just doesn’t care about any sense of honor or respect.
I suspect those of us who spent time in the military; who have spent time training for and being deployed; who have gone through all the “worst case scenario” situations- and all that entails- have already determined for themselves whether they have it in them to ’follow through’ when the time comes.
The nations police have been receiving the same type of training and conditioning . Targets depicting women, children, seniors, and subjects simply pointing a phone camera at them are routinely used for practice and qualifications.
They have been trained and conditioned to see you not as citizens whom they shall “protect and serve”, but as threats and potential enemy combatants.
The nations polititions, from every level, local council, county, state, and federal, already see you as serfs at best, slaves supporting them more likely.
The vast bureaucracy running things don’t see you at all. You are a number, a place holder who fills this function, who keeps the population number at a level which brings in ‘x’ amount of federal dollars.
For all of them, you are beneath contempt. You aren’t worth that much to them.if you don’t conform, if you don’t worship them and exalt them, you can easily be eliminated and replaced with one who will.
They are right when they talk about essentially killing yourself and your whole world if/when things become kinetic. Although (Thank God) I have never had to drop the hammer, I have been very close. And yes, just getting to the point you are able to do so changes everything in you. And the rage and fury unleashed will burn like the surface of the sun.
I had a discussion with a friend of my son, talking about what we’ve seen happening in this nation over the past few years. He wondered if we were heading to a second civil war and I said that if things don’t change that it is quite likely.
Then at one point the topic turned to who would be involved and my answer was “It will be the peaceful men and women.” He looked a little confused but I understood his confusion and explained. “A peaceful man (or woman) is not a harmless man. Peaceful men are extremely dangerous because they will do what is necessary to keep the peace, and if the peace is broken will do what is necessary to restore it even if it means overthrowing a tyrannical government seeking to enslave us and replacing it.”
Dr Jordan Peterson makes that differentiation in slightly different terms. He asserts, “A harmless man is not a good man. A good man is a very, very dangerous man who has that under voluntary control. If you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of.”
“If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you’re going to die. So they’ll talk. They’ll gloat. They’ll watch you squirm. They’ll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar. So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word.”

Well, I’m so old I can’t fight, can’t run, Hard time seeing and hearing so I guess I’ll just have to wait until the totalitarians come for me. Then I’ll just have to see if the old shotgun still works.
I recently was called a good man by an intelligent person with much life experience and traumas. I agreed in that I that I had reached points where a peaceful man must act, and was able to limit my actions to those necessary as the complete commitment was not then required.
Iam not the man in nobody, but I hope that I could up my game if the nation requires a better game from me.
I have always strove to benefit people and the good in the nation and the world.
I can only do what I know where I am able. Speech and truth are part of it. I only control myself. I hope others will act. I have seen the numbers Increase. Many today outright agreed with what I discussed with them where I encountered them. Others listened and seemed agree. Some said they had never considered it the way I presented the ideas, and thanked me. It was not a bad day. Which is good.
We are part of everything.
I pray for Western women and for all of us
A group of people who have never numbered more than 9% of the population of earth, but whom, whether you score it by individuals making the contributions or the contributions themselves, have given the world 95% of civilization, while providing the most protective society ever for women and children, are vilified by the other 91+% as being the cause of all evils.
Trust me, if the 9 percenters decide to take their toys and go home, the other 91% of the earth’s population are in for a brutish, short, nasty, existence in abject slavery until their meaningless deaths.
As examples, consider the Montgomery, Alabama municipal water system or any of the 40+ major cities in the United Stares that have been under hegemonic demoncrat rule for more than 70 years. It is going to truly s*uck and bl*weth many a dead goats to be them.

It’s a shame Kyle Rittenhouse didn’t read that column. Would’ve saved him a lot of trouble.
Well, he is a wealthy man now
Everything.
Never has a posit been more apropos than this for that…
-Familiarity breeds contempt.
-Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
-You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
We have blown through the first, working hard to realize the second, and are pushing up against that third so hard that it might be too late.
For my life, the one song lyric that sums it up better than all the others is Kristofferson (via Joplin): “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”
The first panel pretty much sums up the thought that keeps popping up in the back of my mind in unguarded moments. Why? What am I fighting for anymore?
Guilty as charged.
Why the hell would I fight when even my lover/partner/wife/girlfriend wants to invalidate everything I stand for…
Just saying…
I fight for my family.
Nothing more, nothing less.
and I WILL NOT LOSE.
Handouts breed contempt for the provider.
Chris said it all already. Especially the second panel.
