 Do people who live in the decline of a civilization know that they're living in the decline of a civilization? I was talking with one of my friends the other day and he mentioned that, hey, you're not going to like this, Dylan, but the time for posting your opinions online is over. Like it's going to get bad, basically he's saying, you know, it's going to get bad and posting your opinions online at this point just makes you a target for the future gulags. And I have some sympathy with that. I certainly can understand that line of thinking and then I don't necessarily fault anyone for thinking it. However, as I've thought about it, I've kind of come to the opposite conclusion, which is if this is our end, then I would have us make such an end. I would prefer to go screaming into that darkness rather than silently waiting. I understand the sneaky warrior and Opset and all this stuff and I, like I said, I understand if you fall in that camp. But I think that if anything, now is the time when we should be talking the most and now is the time when we should be complaining and preaching the most because again, if this is the end, if this is going to be the end of the Republic and being conservative and being right wing will soon be criminalized and considered domestic terrorism and all these other things just for having a different political opinion. If that's it, if that's what's coming, then I would go screaming into that darkness. I'm going to fight tooth and nail now while I can and I still can post videos online and whatever and I still can talk to people. I would have us make such an end. The other part of me says, if you're not willing to say something now, what makes you think you'll be willing to fight for it later? I'm sure you've heard the Mueller quote. He was a pastor in Germany in the 30s when Hitler was taking over and stuff and after he was kind of on Hitler's side or kind of, I want to say on his side, but was sympathetic. You know, wasn't standing in the way. And he has this very famous quote that's something to be effective like, first they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. And then they came for the whoever and I did not speak out because I was not one of them. And then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. And then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out. And I think it's a very insightful quote. You need to really understand your own mistakes to say something like that. And I think I don't want to do that, right? If I'm not willing to say something now, what makes me think I'm going to be willing to do anything when it gets harder later? So my thought is I'm going to go screaming into that darkness. I'm going to say something now. I'm going to post things online now. And if things do get really bad and that gets me bumped up to the top of the gulag list, well, then I guess that's pretty bad and we'll have to deal with it then. So this isn't to me about preserving myself. I want to preserve liberty in America and I'm willing to say something about that now. And so I would try to win you to my camp, right? Because that's what I'm doing. I believe in it. I would try to win you to that camp of now is the time to say something. And if we're not going to say something now, what makes you think we're going to do anything later? Think about it. Do brave deeds and endure.
