hope that spirit has not been beaten out of them by the decades of leftist propaganda.

I don't think so. In some ways, they're like the majority of Americans, who have had it too easy for too long, and now are addicted to ease, convenience, and instant gratification. It makes nations soft, lazy, risk-averse, effort-averse, and thus very susceptible to propagandization. Yet, even in such nations, there is ALWAYS a core of people who reject all that crap. Usually it's the rural people, but it's been known to happen in major metropolitan areas as well.

Take my friend in the UK, for example. He wasn't just speaking of one isolated Brit here and there. It's a nation descended from a thousand years of berserkers. And when you pair that with the concept of physical survival being threatened, and reaching the point where there is literally nothing left to lose, you'd be surprised at what can be awakened within them.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who would pompously proclaim that I'm wrong, based on either (A) being acquainted with one or two effeminate rejects, or (B) things they've read on the Internet. Like Rhett Butler, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn". The Internet is probably the most massive propagandization tool ever invented. It presents incredible stupidity as gospel truth. And many, many people believe everything they read, getting mad at anyone who suggests that they may have been "taken in". That's why I spend very little time online, and have been encouraging others to do the same.

Ah well, I've blathered on for long enough.
