      "We have a national identity today centered around victimhood, . . . I think that leaves a moral and cultural vacuum in its wake."

      "The solution he promotes is to "fill that vacuum with something more rich, more meaningful; shared national identity that’s built around the unapologetic pursuit of excellence."

      "Be proud of our history, not ashamed."

      Wow; Power.

      Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

        I do hope the pendulum is swinging back.

          Would you know it if it did?

          You only know what the media wants you to know...

          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

            Yep. 90% of narratives are performative anyway.

            I personally interacted with plenty of TDS sufferers. That attitude and belief was indeed institutional and systemic. But I'm not sure how many people walk around actually feeling like victims, or feeling like white males suppress them. That's more for people hand waving in front of cameras, or for writers, crafting narratives.

            Education is extremely important.

              So now you play a victim of the media?
