I'm Not 'Brave'; You're Just a P---y Some people who love me advised me not to write this essay, and not to use its current title

YES! Thank you Elsie for reminding me of what I have to give.

Birth pains pushing truth

[Elsie]

Matthew 24:6-9

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

For a year and a half now, after it became clear that this crisis was never about “the virus” but rather about a global bid to kill off our free world and suppress all of our freedoms — since I and many others have been publicly vocal about this danger and doing all we can to alert our community — that is to say, humanity — I’ve been getting direct messages ("DMs")... Do you understand what is at stake? If you continue to comply and collude with what has become a tyrannical oligopoly, your kids will live as slaves and as serfs forever.

Thanks SJackson.

A woman can, with a straight face and no hatred or dislike of her fellow females, call a man a pussy, and nothing cuts deeper.

Any man who lets a woman tell him how to be a man was never a man in the first place. Nothing is more pathetic than a woman saying "A real man would do x,y,z!" and a guy bowing his head and doing as she commands. Why? Because women can't ever really know what a real man is. They simply are not in the position of a man, never will be, and don't suffer the consequences of their actions as a man does, especially in the modern world.

Having said that, we are, indeed, suffering from a lack of balls in this era, and I respect Wolf for her courage and general gumption. The wheat is most definitely being separated from the chaff.

[fr_freak]

Now that EVERYTHING I said has been borne out, not a single person has come forward to say, "Hey, you were right about xyz!" No.

You and me both. I know people have been calling me a conspiracy theorist behind my back for years. I lost a very long time friend trying to convince him not to give his young daughter the BS "vaccine" because there are a lot of people who would rather believe easy lies than hard truths.

But what are you going to do? Would you rather be popular and share in the lies, or be shunned for telling the truth? I made my choice, and it sounds like you did too. God bless you.

[rlmorel]

If a woman said to a guy “A real guy would...” it is not meant to be helpful in any way, that is meant as an insult.

As for Wolf, as I said, I am all for anyone being woken out of their Leftist mindset and leaving the word of those zombies.

[stormhill]

it sounds like you did too

Thanks.
Yeah, I'm stubborn. Like the article's title, It's not that I'm brave, just that I came early on to learn that giving in never saves you.

About the conspiracy stuff, I've never been a fan of Gore Vidal but in a radio interview in the '80s, he was asked about his being a conspiracy theorist. He answered, "I'm not a conspiracy theorist; I'm a conspiracy analyst."

[Texaspeptoman]

Thank you for leading the way. For keeping the path open for others to follow. The torch is being shared by those you have influenced — knowingly and unknowingly. I and others have heard you and the other stalwarts on this forum and you give us courage and resolve. You give us a hurrah every day!
Shalom

your FR homepage is awesome ...

[Night Hides Not]

I have another acronym for the pejorative you just used. It's my favorite, one I learned while I was in the Army: REMF, or Rear Echelon MFer. The first one who comes to mind is Pete Buttigeg.

An REMF is an officer who is likely a great staff officer, but should never be allowed near soldiers in combat units. I was Air Defense Artillery for 8 years, and I bristled when I came into contact with staff officers trying to tell me the right way to do things.

I had a couple of commanders who were REMFs, they never let us Platoon Leaders do our jobs. All 4 of us were damn good, too.

[Night Hides Not]

I greatly benefited from the experience of my 3 Platoon Sergeants, all of whom served at least one tour in Vietnam. They guided me in the right direction, as did my First Sergeant, who did 3 tours in Nam as an Infantry First Sergeant.

As I recall, they didn't swear much, either.

I remember a Battery level evaluation, and the First Sergeant was nervous as hell. So I went up to him and asked, "Hey Top, what's wrong?"

"LT, I don't know anything about ADA, what am I supposed to do?"

"You know how to set up and run a CP, don't you? That's all you need to do."

Imagine that, an old NCO taking advice from a 1LT with barely two years active duty. lol, damn I love those days.

[Antoninus]

In antiquity, it was the equivalent of calling a man a half-man, or a eunuch.

And she's right.

[Antoninus]

I hear you, brother. These days I just show up and shut up.

There's nothing wrong with picking your battles. The problem arises when the time comes to battle and men refuse to respond to the trumpet's call because they are afraid they will lose their short-term comforts.

[rlmorel]

LOL, I have indeed heard that one before. Used in the most derisive of ways by people who are entitled to use it, it can sure cut deeply.

Thank you, bankwalker!
