As a consequence of #COVID19, normal life has been revealed as hopelessly corrupt. When the lockdowns are finally lifted, Americans will be waking to a new world, one with the specter of a second outbreak looming overhead.

The city won't be the same. Local businesses are closing down permanently, and we now know our supply chains are brittle. If you are starting to think political action is necessary, consider how big business donates large lump sums to politicians. Big business writes bills, these days. Politicians are owned. To fight back, we need to start at the #local level, at #subsidiarity

Move from the city. Start a farm, have a family, and become #SelfSufficient Have a say in your town's governance, and shape the culture

Never give into leftist demands. "No precise, unequivocal terms of submission to the authority of Parliament in any case, have ever been offered by any Assembly. A concession has only produced a further demand, and I verily believe if every thing had been granted short of absolute Independence, they would not have been contented; for this was not the object from the beginning." Thomas Hutchinson understood leftist logic in 1776. We do not negotiate with terrorists.

In the #distributist view, higher orders of communities in a society only exist to fulfill social needs that cannot be sufficiently met by the family, for the good of the family.

The fall of leftists and rise of a renewed Christian United States is predetermined at this point. Having 193 new judges appointed by President Trump, we will be one nation under God. This is the time for Catholics and the Catholic Church to stand up and steer it for our benefit. Teach the doctrine, teach natural law. It is the answer to liberal obsession with deviancy.

Progressive sexual transgression and radical feminism lose their hold on a person, not when they realize how sinful they are (though these are a grave offense against God, moderns find offenses against God exciting,) but when they perceive their banality and emptiness.

Most people are conservative by nature.

The ability to discern godliness from sin has been perverted by our overly permissive hyper-feminized society. This is a society that respects no order, no law, and no man.

"And do you not know that you are (each) an Eve? The sentence of God on this sex of yours lives in this age: 83 the guilt must of necessity live too. You are the devil’s gateway: you are the unsealer 84 of that (forbidden) tree: you are the first deserter of the divine law: you are she who persuaded 85 him whom the devil was not valiant enough to attack. You destroyed so easily God’s image, man. On account of your desert—that is, death—even the Son of God had to die."

On the Apparel of Women — Tertullian

Women understand forgiveness and mercy, but sin eludes them. This is why women should not be making laws, because they are the unsealer of that forbidden tree, the first deserters of the divine law.

The #Patriarchy is the source from which safety and order spring forth into the nation.

Restoring traditional masculinity and fighting against the gynocratic kleptocracy that is corrupting and perverting our nation is paramount.

Learn to be a man. Learn #masculinity.

Homosexual "marriage" degrades the status of women and girls.

Protect women from men who coerce them into getting an #abortion

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church #subsidiarity is discussed in the context of the dangers inherent in too much power being centralized in the hands of the state: “Excessive intervention by the state can threaten personal freedom and initiative. The teaching of the Church has elaborated the principle of subsidiarity, according to which a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order, depriving the latter of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to co-ordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society, always with a view to the common good.”

Pope John Paul II taught that the purpose of marriage is to prepare for the celibacy of the kingdom. Once society stopped seeing marriage as a training ground for celibacy, it let loose the idea that the concupiscence that marriage cultivates is in some way an end in itself, and slowly but surely led to divorce, contraception, etc.

Men, keep careful guard over your daughters and wives. Do not allow them to be tempted by the serpent. Do not in turn allow them to lead you against your own principles and duty to God. Men who have sinned by failing to keep their wives and daughters from being tempted by the serpent often blame women for his own disobedience to God in allowing them to be tempted.

You, as a man, have to take leadership. Shifting blame to your wife or daughter is sinful. They are the biblical helpers, the followers. Claiming they have the agency to resist is submission to the frame of #feminism

Sometimes people argue for the permissibility of #abortion through the argument, "it is my body, therefore I may do whatever I want with it." One's bodily rights do not extend to killing others. Americans tend to hold distinctly libertarian accounts of personal ethics, however the Catholic Church proscribes that we are obligated to act in good ways, whether through laws against abortion or protests. As an #integralist, I believe that the law should compel us to act in good ways.

Take a long hard look at this map, and tell me Thiel was wrong. #vote #men #women

This country needs to outlaw communists and criminalize membership in, and support for communist organizations. This nation was build on property ownership. Radical anarchists and communists are a threat to American society.

#Originalism was useful in its ability to slow progressive court victories, but it is not inherently useful as an interpretive method. While it can stem the onslaught of new "rights" and progressive policy, it cannot act as a positive driver of the common-good. Catholics need to look into an #integralist future.

Business resembles less private enterprise, and more monopoly, as we go on. Look at the major telecom providers in the United States. Monopolistic big business is analogous to government. Leftists recognize this fact and lobby to legitimize it under official Federal red white and blue.

The leftists are, predictably, wrong. The answer is not more centralization, but decentralization. Power should arise from #subsidiarity, from the smallest entity capable of responding responsibly. Look what happens when individuals come together to protect their own interests. https://ruralbroadbandcoop.org/ There are advantages to monopolies, but decentralized local businesses are less brittle, and harder to censor. This is the future, going forward.

Private enterprise is the basis of a free market capitalist system, it is a business unit established, owned, and operated by private individuals for profit, instead of by or for any government or its agencies.
