I hope everyone here is having a good 4th of July. It's a full moon tonight. It's beautiful, and would be even moreso if not for the sky being filled with a dense haze of fireworks smoke.
The smoke is everywhere, and is thick enough to block out the stars. The night sky, though clear of clouds, is blank. People have been setting off fireworks for weeks, celebrating a freedom that they do not understand, that they did not earn, and that they no longer deserve.
They do not understand freedom because the news is empty, ignorant drivel meant to alarm and anger them, not inform them about what's going on; they do not know how their government works nor how they can and should participate in it. They did not earn freedom because the schools have degenerated into daycare centers; high school graduates have reached majority age but have not attained maturity and are incapable of independent thought. They do not deserve freedom because they have no sense of morality or consequences and live only to prey on anybody they do not recognize for the sake of fleeting, empty pleasures.
I live in a nation in decline. Government of, by, and for the people fails when the people do not know how to govern themselves. A democracy composed of ignorant, evil people will only serve to amplify and weaponize their ignorance and evil. Look to the French Revolution, in which a depraved, crumbling society used the trappings of democracy and justice and progress to commit every imaginable atrocity upon itself and its neighbors.
I've come to believe that the nation I live in is headed towards a reckoning. I do not know what the outcome of this reckoning will be, but I am certain that there will be chaos and death. Things will get worse before they get better, and it will be worst in the cities.
The happiest people I know right now are my immediate family. My parents live in the country and are safe and happy. My siblings all moved into peaceful, rural areas and married tradspouses. Their growing families are amazing, and they understand that society has fallen into decadence; they protect themselves very carefully from it.
I should join them. I should find and marry a trad. I should move to someplace peaceful, where I can defend myself and mine, where I can have children who won't be fed fucking poison. I should move to someplace where I can see the stars again, where I can be close to nature, where my life will not be defined by asphalt and neon, where I will not become fucking collateral damage as the cannibalism worsens.
Remember, frens: If you ever get the urge to give into despair and accept the fate that our rotting society has planned for you, look to the people who love you. Look to your friends, look to your loved ones, look to your families. If your life is cut short, your parents' souls will shatter; they will spend the remainder of their lives hating themselves for not doing more to save you. The same is for everybody else you have, to varying degrees. Do not go gentle into that good night.
