Turning point usa may be a partial model in that they joined religious devotion to political activism. Something that is a cross between tpusa and a militia would do great good. A Christian brotherhood working for Christian national interests the way the Muslim brotherhood works for Islamic nationalism.
Good stuff. But no need to reinforce feminist propagandistic power like this: “Many grew up in a generation where dad never lifted a finger in the home.”
I really hope we are living through the nadir of Western Civilization. That it could all get far worse seems inevitable, but too painful to contemplate. To climb back to normalcy, or better, seems beyond possible by a light year... and yet I cannot give up on the future. It's not in me.
I can see local municipality interests that can be protected by a united bloc of local and active men…. However, convincing any of my friends in the area to care about politics is the hardest issue.
I’m heading up an action-oriented wing in the current hugbox group I’m in. Currently just to get guys involved if someone needs help with repairs and such, but hoping to branch to larger activities.
Now I know why there were so many middle aged men hanging around my Boy Scout Troop, going on the trips and mentoring even after their kids were grown or even when their kids hated scouts. It was the need for a War Band.
My church has a good number of young lads but no group and no real direction for them. I have been thinking recently about starting a group for them and this has given me the boot up the arse I needed.
Do you have any practical advice on getting started and what I should do with them beyond socialising and going on hikes?
Finding the enemy is very difficult in our anesthetized society. Outrage is a very rare commodity, and it's hard to know how to best direct energy to change our communities. The closest I've seen it is for men to band together to do good: fixing up rough areas in the neighborhood, helping the elderly with yardwork, stopping an alleyway from becoming a dump, etc., etc. but that's usually an effort that's focused outside the nice places that most churchgoers live. How do men collectively with their physical bodies confront the mind virus? Our Age is in the middle of a ideological fight, not much of a physical one.
I agree, 100% with our churches becoming a "hugbox". If I hear the word vulnerability one more time at a men's event, I will smash my head into an oak tree.
Christianity has been hollowed out. Quite frankly, it was subverted early on by the Catholic Church.
Sanitized. Institutionalized. I have never gotten anything out of any Church I have attended. They have all been great disappointments. So were AA meetings.. What a waste of time.
The only Men's groups that have any meaning in my opinion are either work related or belonging to a martial arts club.
By work related I mean the act of working with other men. Carpenters building a houses for instance. Regarding martial art, any martial art would do.

Now that you pointed out the flaws in other groups, I assume you are forming a better group. Where do we send applications?

Baby steps.
That sounds cool. Too many people complain without taking action

And for God’s sake, at the very least you can refuse to drive your wife’s minivan…ever.
Exceptional, good Sir. The time of essay that keeps me on the platform. Thank you—and continued success.

Great essay. It's a blackpill, and I already knew it, but it has to be said.
This sounds a lot like the premise/theme for 'The Way of Men' by Jack Donovan.
