Robert Wills argues that the reason the United States has become decadent isn't due to its immense wealth, as many critics would have it, but rather is due to the fact that American society has ceased to cultivate virtue in the Classical sense in its citizens. https://counter-currents.com/2024/01/thoughts-on-decadence-and-the-american-ethos/

A word of advice to many channels across Telegram, legal issues are a real thing in Europe.

You make fantastic posts but plaster imagery which is now illegal to post or hands power to the same state you're troubled by.

I'd love to be able to share more of your work and will continue to share many across my channels.

I wish I could share the thoughts and statements of many more who allow classic mistakes to cloud the use of their talents.

It's easy to fed-post, it's just the 4-chan system we've seen for too long. The development of of the skills requited to tackle difficult issues require practice and far more than short term endorphin chasing.

If you use racial slurs it's like saying c*** in an argument, it's the avoidance of explaining one's self, to learn all that's required to properly adress and answer serious issues must be practised.

If you honestly can't understand that you make it harder for those across the western world to connect, I feel you're not taking things seriously enough and see it as a game.

Those of us who aren't anonymous shouldn't have to avoid or be put at risk by those who are anonymous.

To fed post with those who are public is to expect them to take the blame for the things you're hiding from.

This is a polite appeal to those who own grat channels and those with much to say, to consider a new approach which represents us properly as opposed to the pattern we've seen fail for years.

We must know how to deal with difficult topics and that doesn't happen without work.

You can dislike or attack me for saying this if you must but I can't share your work, or work with you anyway, so by saying nothing it's more damaging, especially when there's so many who could be of far more use to everyone.

Inside you know this to be the case, I respect those who act online how they would in a room, remembering professionalism and respect.

I met many people on march scenes and more where it's very different to anonymous voice/text chats and easier to remember you're dealing with real people.

I feel too many forget that, when they mightn't have realised, or experienced, such a reality.

I find it hypocritical that people will be fake in the real world (work, travelling etc) and then be rude to the few in here who they should be connecting with.

We've far to go, whilst being too far behind.

Loving your own isn't the same as hating others. 🤝

The results of the Homeland Institute's latest poll on Foreign Policy, Non-Interventionism, and the Draft are now available.

This poll was inspired in large part by the ongoing Gaza crisis. It was conducted between late December 2023 and early January 2024. Related topics include the legacy of the Global War on Terror, the US’ relationship with Israel, and opposition to the draft.

Major findings are that:

Only 23.1% of all respondents and 30.2% of Republican respondents can think of a concrete example of Israel aiding American interests off the top of their head.

68.4% of respondents oppose direct intervention in the Gaza conflict with airstrikes or boots on the ground.

25.7% of respondents aged 18-29 would oppose a draft through peaceful protest, and 16.9% through non-violent civil disobedience.

4.4% of respondents aged 18-29 said they would oppose a draft through violence against government property, and 4.4% through violence against government officials.

The findings of this poll are particularly relevant given the recent US airstrikes on the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, which risk escalating the Gaza crisis into a broader regional or even global conflict.
