For young men who see no place for themselves in the future being built for us, BAP provides them with a path towards strength, spirit, and meaning
He does in fact "turn people 15 degrees," away from the danger of hopelessness—yet is still blamed for political violence?
The thing that enmaddens me is that when I talk about how education is overprescribed, or that we've entered a dysgenic age, the point is not "lol go be randomly violent"
It's the exact opposite, to identify traps of modernity, avoid them, and improve your own life within this
I am attempting to identify what's gone wrong so that people can live according to what's better, what will make them + their children happy and successful despite all the pressures to make us worse
The point is never "Go be Breivik," instead it's the opposite: "Ride the tiger"
It's comical, "gaslighting" even, that these journalists want to pretend everything is on the upswing when wages have been flat for 40+ years, liberalism is dying, Big Cricket is trying to make you eat bugs, + your standard of living will be lower than your grandparents
Who is the one that's more evil? The one that points these problems out?
Or the one that insists more of the same will, somehow, eventually make your life better, if only we do even more of what got us here?
"If you find yourself in a hole, quit digging"
It's ridiculous I even feel compelled to respond to this. "Make yourself better" + "Here are the ways society is failing us" is not a call for terrorism
It's the exact opposite. It's a way to call people away from the abyss and back towards what is true and beautiful
The fact the Cathedral treats these efforts as violence is only because it perceives it as a threat to its power
And that power process would rather *encourage real terrorism* than grapple with its failures, because creating terrorists only increases its power to destroy dissent
I want you to succeed and become great in order to undermine everything telling you to be weak. Guarantee BAP wants the same.
This is the exact opposite of how our side is portrayed by the journalist.
That, in itself, tells you everything you need to know.
