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.

Is This Why Other Nations Laugh at America?

"...for the majority of the 343,000 personnel in the U.S. Navy, the mission is mostly one of readiness and deterrence, but rarely if ever of actual combat. This reality is apparently contributing to the challenge of recruiting new personnel, because as anyone who has read naval history knows, even during war, much of shipboard life is matter of dull routine. How to entice young men to serve on ships on which young women are a tiny minority—that is, places of confinement, isolation, restricted in almost every conceivable way?

For the last two hundred years, the Roman Catholic Church has faced a similar challenge in its effort to recruit priests and monks. As an ex Catholic priest once told me, one approach was to recruit gay boys from poor regions of the world who, because they are naturally attracted to men, did not perceive monastic life to be an onerous deprivation.

The U.S. Navy seems to have taken a leaf from the same playbook with its new "digital ambassador,” 24-year-old sailor Joshua Kelly, who is also a drag queen."

Falling in Love With the Left

“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the (revolutionary) Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy…”

–George Orwell, 1984

No More Defense of the Faith

Christian Britain has been gone a long time. But the Crown finally held a funeral, bestowing King Charles, earlier "The Defender of the Faith," a new royal title: “Protector of the Space for Faith within the Multi-faith Nation.”

A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally.

A Disease of the Soul

“I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it. But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”

Argentinian President Javier Milei
