“We all know our country’s current trajectory isn’t going to end well, but what can we do about it? We need to consider a national divorce, i.e., secession.” ~ Eric Sammons @ EricRSammons, X, Monday, July, 29, 2024 (3:06 PM)The closer we get to the U.S. presidential election, the harder it is to ignore the sheer evil of American politics and by extension the duplicitous legacy media. Bombarded online with every type of propaganda imaginable and surrounded by unhinged ideologues of every stripe everywhere I go, it is utterly impossible not to get caught up in the madness. People attacking me and trying to persuade me one way or the other has only strengthened my resolve to steer clear of the whole bloody mess.
I never believed in the democratic process and the unsavory events of recent years have only served to further vindicate my opprobrium. Even if I were to vote, living in a non-battleground state makes my ballot count for naught anyway. Whatever the results of the election are in November, you can be sure all hell is going to break loose because neither side trusts or likes one another. Accusations of “voter fraud,” “stealing the election,” “tampering,” you name it, will be trumpeted by the losers—and rightfully so. The system is broken and stinks to high Heaven.
So what do we do? Well, as the saying goes, “Drastic times call for drastic measures.” In an ideal world, we would all just finally come to our senses and behave like normal, rational people and work towards national reconciliation. Since we don’t live in an ideal world and delusional left-wing psychoses have reached critical mass, we should realistically consider national divorce, no matter how outlandish it may sound.
A longtime proponent of secession, I’m always excited to see the idea bandied about in public forums. While nowhere near as popular as it needs to be to realistically consider it an option, we’ve come a long way from my teenage years when the very suggestion of breaking up these United States was inconceivable and met with derision and scorn. Granted, as crazy as it may sound, back in those days I naïvely championed the idea of a sizable autonomous Italian American ethnostate.
Ah, the folly of youth. Seeing how well we assimilated to the prevailing culture and succumbed to modern decadent Americanism (materialism, secularism, etc.), I’m not entirely sure I would want to be lumped together with many of my ethnic compatriots, with whom I have little or nothing in common, anymore. To be clear, being different per se is not the problem, I appreciate and respect pluralism, but it is leftism in all its pernicious and discordant forms (i.e., feminism, egalitarianism, totalitarianism, etc.) that I abhor.
Demoralized and degraded, I don’t believe the American people have the stomach to entertain such a difficult path, even if it is in our best interest to do so. One thing is for certain, the greedy parasites (rich and poor) won’t give up their reluctant hosts (rich and poor) without a fight. Therefore, if we can’t secede and forge a new nation, the only realistic and tenable options at our disposal are to secede as a community, as a family, or at the very least, as individuals. For a better understanding of what I'm advocating here, see the Benedict (Dreher) and Bernard (Salvo) options.
Babylon's burning and our soi-disant leaders fiddle. Corrupt, inept, and evil, the government actively hates us, let alone represents us. Their actions prove it. If you have to be convinced of these facts today, you are utterly hopeless. Working outside the system (electoral politics), it is our duty as counter-revolutionaries to rebuild healthy communities, raise God-fearing families, and see to the salvation of our eternal souls. In a world gone mad, upholding Altar and Hearth are drastic measures.
