And hold for a slow, steady ten-count. Repeat as needed.
A psychopath with inferior weaponry is, far more often than not, a safer bet in a fight than a sane man with an arsenal.
War is not won by firepower alone.
It is shaped by willingness — by who is prepared to cross which lines. And anyone who has watched leftist mobs in action knows they cross all decent lines with glee.
This is where anger clouds the thinking.
I)f you’re thinking about the cultural moment in terms of war and you’re not actively, consciously, deliberately, and soberly factoring in the fact that it is a mob of actual psychopaths against normal people, then you are being stupidly naive, and you need to grow the fuck up before you say another word.
And certainly before you do a goddamn thing.
The second point I want to make is an answer to the question: why does this feel so different?
Trump Derangement Syndrome, as I wrote in Gain-of-Function TDS, was always ridiculous. Easy to mock. Easy to box off as just another form of political hysteria. People have always hated politicians, often irrationally. Turning Trump into the Bad Orange Man — a cartoon villain — was stupid and childish, but it had precedent. It fit into an existing cultural script.
The hate itself was the point, a bonding ritual, a way to signal in-group loyalty. That’s why, even when it metastasized into assassination attempts, it was still possible to shrug and think: presidents get shot at sometimes. It fit a paradigm.
But this? This was different. This was the moment when the mask slipped. The left showed that they’re well past virtue signaling. They actually believe the slogans.
They actually believe that disagreeing with their gender dogma — refusing to affirm that “transwomen are women” — constitutes literal violence, and that striking back with real violence is self-defense.
If they meant it — and they did — then anyone eager to pivot into “war mode” had better be brutally realistic about what that means.
To win, you don’t just need weapons. You need the willingness to out-evil a brigade of full-on Cluster B actual, literal psychopaths.
And most people on the right — thank God — are fundamentally decent. They want to defend their families, not revel in cruelty.
That’s their strength as human beings, but it’s also a massive strategic weakness if this ever does tip into real war.
I’m not saying the war-cries are wrong. I’m saying they’re reckless AF unless they’re paired with brutal, realistic honesty about the terrain. Emotion is driving this far more than reason. And in any conflict where the left’s defining edge is a higher concentration of people who enjoy inflicting suffering, the right is walking in at a massive disadvantage.
This is dangerous ground, people.
Step lightly, or don’t step at all.
A well-organized, beautifully composed piece of seriously badass writing. A hearty “well done” and a humble doff of the CF Chapeau to Ms Holly Mathnerd for her brilliant, perfectly crafted work here. And bang, zoom! Into Ye Aulde Blogrolle with ye, lass.

They cheered just as loudly for Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson but it flew by most normies as no one knew who he was. I dont recall anyone losing their job cheering it.
Understand that they want you dead. Prepare accordingly.
Of course, NOW the evil em effers want to “talk”. Sorry, you fuckheads assassinated about the only one of us still sane and reasonable, and willing to debate and discuss, the rest of us not so much. You have shown us with your mirth, regarding the death of a good man – husband, father, Christ follower, just who you are – sick, evil, and thus impossible to reason with. You say without words, that you want us dead. So, now, we understand – and now many of us want you dead.
Game on, motherfuckers
Excellent writing. Everything stated is true. I see and hear a lot of chest thumping, but that is all it is. We are, unfortunately, hamstrung by our belief in the rule of law. Until the mainstream citizen realizes that to be prepared, you need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, we won’t do a damn thing that will effect change.
But Luigi shot a nasty insurance healthcare man.
That’s how they ran it past us that time.
They painted Thompson as a Villain and, not knowing much about him, far too many could buy into it.
Charlie Kirk cannot be painted like that.
