Indeed, that was an apt and true reply which was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride, “What you mean by seizing the whole earth; but because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, while you who does it with a great fleet are styled emperor.”

We begin to ponder, after dismounting the Donkey and cutting off support to the empire, what more active role we can take within our lives.
Because, after all, we can’t just sit in one spot with our thumbs up our arse.
I would posit, the best things we can do is to look at what the enemy is afraid of, and do those.
What does the empire of the U.S.S.A. abhor?
Remember, it stands for Usury, Sodomy, Sex, and Abortion.
Besides those, it does all it can to eliminate true, lasting virtuous culture, loving relationships with your neighbors, religion, Joy, Peace, Anger at itself (rather than your neighbor), learning of history, and true wealth of ownership.
That, dear friends and readers, is why this blog is called Uncouth Barbarian.
To break expectations, and be a joyful warrior, raging at the correct things while raising a horde of a family.
Building Christendom again from its ruins.
That should be our goal
Because its what they fear and detest.
You can see it from every single action they take.
From their unjust wars across the globe,
to the flouting of laws on the border that destroy wages and society here at home,
to the ridiculous enforcement of petty laws while ignoring those violated by those in power.
They fear the slaves,
They fear families,
They fear truth,
They fear our children, and that we will have joy, something to fight for, the intelligence to see it’s worth fighting for, and make friends with happy warriors.
Give birth to and raise happy warriors.
Because, if you haven’t realized it yet,
They’re raising and mutilating and importing an army of children and men,
And singing songs about it.
Just let that sink in.
But this I say, that the Roman empire, which by subduing many nations had already grown great and an object of universal dread, was itself greatly alarmed, and only with much difficulty avoided a disastrous overthrow, because a mere handful of gladiators in Campania, escaping from the games, had recruited a great army, appointed three generals, and most widely and cruelly devastated Italy. Let them say what god aided these men, so that from a small and contemptible band of robbers they attained to a kingdom, feared even by the Romans, who had such great forces and fortresses.
