It's interesting to me to read people's responses to the current state of the nation and the world. There is everything from "what we need to do is (fill in the blank with a solution which no one will actually do)" or "this is all the fault of (fill in the blank with all kinds of groups, secret societies, race, political group, and different generations)". Maybe all of these things are true and correct. I don't know and if I did know then there would be nothing that I can really do about it because it is out of my geographical sphere of influence.
What I don't see is people taking responsibility for their part in the current state of affairs, and we are all guilty of neglecting out responsibilities as American citizens and have done so to the point that the nation can't really even be identified as anything solid. The uniquely American culture we had has been commercialized and sold off to our enemies so that a few folks can make a fortune. We all have allowed this and have allowed ourselves to be dumbed down to the point that we no longer think critically, we are no longer curious, we no longer take the risks necessary to grow, and we expect everyone else to solve our problems. The people of our nation have become cynical and defeated and there doesn't seem to be any one that can get us back on track.
How do we fix this? How do we reclaim our culture and society? What is culture? I think that needs to be defined but before doing so I believe that it needs to be said that culture is not about necessarily about race. Culture is about people believing in common ideals, and thinking in the same way. It's like minded people that do things in a similar way and that see things in a similar way. So what can be done to fix all of this?
Honestly, I don't believe that it can be fixed. I think that what needs to happen is that a new thing needs to be created. That does not mean that I believe we need to fight a civil war or start a revolution. I don't want a war, even though it is inevitable. I don't think that the idea of "Christian Nationalism" is going to work either. You can't get two groups of Christians to agree to doctrine, good luck trying to get a nation organized.
We are too divided to take a stand, so what do we do? From my thinking, the #paralleleconomy is about the only thing that we can do at the moment. By building the parallel economy, we are building something new and we are doing it in a peaceful way. By building the parallel economy we will have a better opportunity to reach out to those that are different from us and possibly even win them over to our side. We have to have a positive message to spread and if the message doesn't reach others then at least we will have others that we can rely on when things get bad. Businesses bring like mind people together and that is what is needed in order to recreate an American culture.
But building the parallel economy will take a lot of time, work, and risks. It will take people actively engaging with businesses that are a part of this endeavor. It will mean spending our hard earned money on products and at stores that are in the parallel economy. It will mean building the businesses for the parallel economy.
