Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

A New King Over a Totally Disarmed People

From the time of Alfred the Great in the 9th Century, the good kings of England made sure that every male citizen was armed with personal, military grade weaponry: weapons for offense, and personal armor for personal protection.

Wicked and tyrannical Kings like John (13th Century) fell down in their duties “to inspect every citizen twice a year” to ensure that each possessed military arms. In 1215, a group of armed citizens forced him to sign an agreement that he would resume these and other duties. Essential words and meaning of this “Magna Carta” said,

“Know that before God, for the health of our soul and those of our ancestors and heirs, to the honour of God,” you will not be a tyrant, and we who are armed will hold you to this agreement you are signing this day.

Today the citizens of the British Isles are disarmed. This happened slowly, by incremental acts of administrative law and other arbitrary rules. The bureaucratic government even forced the late Queen Elizabeth II to surrender her personal collection of family guns.

This later in May, her son will be crowned King Charles III. Will the nation hold him accountable to rebuild an armed citizenry? Or are the men of that nation now so domesticated, weak, passive and ignorant that they will continue to follow the script written by the petty-tyrants in government? What in the world will citizens mean when they chant, “God Save King Charles?”

Old Fashioned, Blind Political Activism

"[Successful NY Mayoral candidate] Mamdani built his campaign on the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA and its city allies can dispatch activists across New York and, with a network of progressive partner organizations, can mobilize young people, get out the vote, and do the work of door-to-door politics.

"We saw this dynamic many times in the twentieth century: socialists rise to power, their policies degrade the quality of life, and, as they enter the endgame, they tighten their grip on power and offload resentments onto their ideological, racial, and economic enemies.

"...the twentieth century taught us that left-wing voters have extraordinary defenses against reality."

-- Christopher Rufo

When Assimilation is Forbidden by Your Religion of Political Conquest

A few weeks ago, an image went viral. In Belgium a migrant used the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to cook an omelette. For many, the desecration brought to mind a quote from French author Jean Raspail, written in 1973 in his novel Camp of the Saints, about a sudden invasion of Muslim, Indian and African migrants into France:

“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.”

Kuyper’s Pastoral Warning on Political Life

“Beware of two errors: despising the world God sustains, or worshipping the culture He restrains.”

— Abraham Kuyper, Common Grace Vol. 1, Ch. 30
