I don't believe a woman should be a Pastor either. Similar reasons I wouldn't want them being a soldier in a war. Its chivalry, to protect women from the darker aspects of humanity.

There is a power in a woman being a woman, in femininity. I believe they give up that power when they take on male rolls like leadership.

That's just me, I live in an area and encourage my girls to be around power tools, chainshaws, ATVs etc. I want them to be able to shoot and skin a buck but also be ladies. I still want to protect them from psychos.

edit: I just realized I'm replying to you and you made the original post. I'm not trying to argue with you I'm enjoying this post. Your views on the Bible aren't going to cause me to get my knickers in a knot. I was just shedding light on the other side.

Thanks, enjoy reading your post.

I’d give up my right to vote if we had a government that protected the border, balanced the budget, protected the idea and privilege of citizenship etc.

Another book Stalin and his hangmen. The tyrant and those who killed for him by Donald Rayfield. Think it gave me nightmares, and I realized death could be preferable to communism. After that I totally understood why many Eastern Europeans sided with the Nazis. That is a sort of red pill, realizing that I would have done the same likely.

The thing is when you read it you realize that what is being said on how to live your life (new testament) is true.

Nothing Basic about that shit, I bought a copy and it's the biggest book I own

TrueNorth77 7 points ago +7 / -0

Most recent book I read was "Scuffy the Tugboat".

I always recommend "The Federal Reserve Cartel" by Dean Henderson. It gives a good overview of the elitists history and power structure and all the ties that bind them together.

I have to assume you've already read '1984', 'Brave New World', 'Atlas Shrugged' and all the other shit that people recommend ?

Oh, if you can get a hold of "Behold, a Pale Horse" by Milton Cooper, that's good.

You might also like to check out "Industrial Society and its Future" by Ted Kaczynski.

Hmmm, "Ho ! Canada" by R. Rogers Smith is enlightening, a little dry and only findable as a grainy, fucked up pdf, but there's some good shit on the history of Confederation in there.

Fed Reserve one and Beyond a Pale Horse I know of but never read, good one! I need to check them. The Ted K one is really good, he reminded me of me a bit but even smrtr haha

I always have a little voice back in my head telling me that one day I will be killed by a little Ted K, because I'm developing agricultural machines which don't need human input to harvest food.

Yikes well I won’t get violent. Imagine we see things similar but we veered of sharply down divergent paths. I turned to God and family he turned to madness and violence.

We will all be judged in the end. We all know what is right, just and ethical deep down in our hearts. I can’t control others choices only own. I am a man who has naturally turned towards physical labour in the last decade and think we humans need it to stay grounded.

RightOfSask 4 points ago +4 / -0

Sometimes I have a bad feeling about it, especially when we test prototypes and nearby farmers come to watch it. Some are cool with it and ask questions like "So I can just click on a button at home and that thing will harvest the whole field without me? That's great", but others have a look in their eyes, a fearful one. They think about being replaced, being unemployed, having no future.

Then you ask yourself is this really the world you want your children to live in? And in the end it doesn't matter if you want or not, because it will be the world of your children. One way or another.

"Then you ask yourself is this really the world you want your children to live in? And in the end it doesn't matter if you want or not, because it will be the world of your children. One way or another."

Ooof. That's fair though. I come from economics field though and I think things will collapse and a lot of their plans will be foiled and their schemes will collapse around them the further into debt we go. I see more of a dark ages like what happened between the fall of Rome and the emergence of Charlemagne and Frederick Barbarossa a few centuries later.

The dark ages....

I think that we progressed too far (technologically) to ever fall back into a dark ages timeline.

The further the majority of people become over socialized, and lose the basic skills needed to provide ones basic needs, the greater the risk that the entirety of our civilization will crumble if key infrastructure fails.

If the power grid failed in our grandparents age, society would be in a much better position to keep itself alive than in today’s society where most people don’t even maintain a garden.

The more complicated the machinery, the fewer people there are who understand every aspect of it. As technology grows in complexity, our technicians understanding grows increasingly abstracted from the underlying architecture.

I won’t be surprised if we see systems designed and diagnosed primarily by machines. This is a very fragile place to be. The loss of top to bottom understanding manifests in bugs that get obfuscated away rather than fixed.

Just think of how much of today’s world is dependent on cloud resources. You see how much of the internet breaks of Google or AWS has an outage. It is only going to get harder to emerge from a catastrophe as we become more dependent on complex technology.

No man, you’re helping. Ideally you’re helping them be exclusively dependent on satellites. If we can get can get all agriculture wholly dependent on our complex infrastructure, one big solar flare will accelerate the deindustrialization process.

I remember it from childhood. It was in pretty heavy rotation when my boy was 2 and 3. Now his little sister has taken up that mantle. I long for the day I never have to read it again, but it will always be there, toot - tooting in the far reaches of my mind.

I'm not too much in global politics. I'm much more interested in local politics and personal stories/memoirs. Currently reading "The Prairie Populist" which is about George Hara Williams. Kinda interesting how Socialist and Marxists thrived in the Prairies before and after WW2.

Read it. It's fascinating. If you ask a random person in Toronto or Montreal in which province thousands of white socialist farmers advocated against fascism with even violent methods, they probably wouldn't guess Saskatchewan.

4
stepping_razor123 4 points ago +4 / -0

Now this is interesting. There were a lot of strikes on the Prairies after WW1 too. Will look that book up.

Edit. Reading the overview. This CCF group I was reminded of a few Christian movements in 17th Century England were almost agrarian Marxist by today’s standards. Some of these groups fought in the English Civil War against the king.

3
RightOfSask 3 points ago +3 / -0

It's really something. The Liberals were in power back then in Saskatchewan and they tried to associate the CCF with the NSDAP, because the CCF advocated for Socialism and the NSDAP had the word Socialist in their name.

http://digital.scaa.sk.ca/gallery/persuasion/themes/politics/politics1.html

Didn't work that well and kinda funny if you think about the current political landscape.

4
stepping_razor123 4 points ago +4 / -0

Isn't that interesting. I'd associate fascism with country/rural people and communism as urban. The dynamic here is flipped on its head. I'm going to be reading up on prairie history.

I can see the attraction, the depression, things after WW1 had been shit, predatory lenders/banks, government run by the Orange Lodge down in Upper Canada by a bunch of upper class twits...why not put our resources together and look out for each other?

I can understand it.

I'm moving there! Check out the area around Nipawin over to Hudson Bay (village) down along the Manitoba border to about Runnymede (village) it looks like Ontario a little!

I couldn't stand Ontario any longer. I have some errr anxiety issues and Covid really made me need space badly. Blessed we can pull it off. I just want to be able to live and act as normal as possible as much as possible.

Nobody is going to be able to see me and who I have over to my house where I am moving.

Hey RightofSask do I have to get a license plate for my ATV or can I just drive down the dirt roads? Do I need to wear a helmet? How often to the RCMP drive down those dirt roads that are 40km from their detachment office? hehe

No registration, but you need insurance.

Do I need to wear a helmet?

Yes, on public land.

How often to the RCMP drive down those dirt roads that are 40km from their detachment office?

They will drive down only when you call them.

Nobody is going to be able to see me and who I have over to my house where I am moving.

Spoiler, people will be much more interested in the people you have over and will talk about it much more in a small town.

Red Famine - Anne Applebaum. Shut down anybody calling Holodomor an anti semetic conspiracy theory with this bad boy. Probably the best work on the subject.

I have read most of her work and I would say her skill as a writer improves with every book. I got tired of tankies labelling any communist crime as anti semetic and/or Nazi propaganda. As far as I'm concerned her work puts all of that and any further denialism to bed for good.

It's dry. There's an absolute shit ton of detail. It's long.

But if you want a greater insight into the fact the the USSR won the cold war, then read it.

Lost in the Jungle

there's a list of unrelated genres that are good

Charles Murray stuff. Jordan Peterson. You should read fiction ever now and then, just make sure the author is White, Male and Dead and conservative (probably christian too). That's the good stuff. Stoic stuff, Marcus Aurelius.

Well that's why it hurts, you're reading the bad stuff! Pick up the classics, like Hemingway or Bukowski. If you want to read a woman then try Flannery O'Connor. I'm not up to more modern stuff I'm afraid, so you'd need to get recs on those from someone else. A lot of good genre stuff too, thought sci-fi tends to lean Left.
