For one thing I don’t use Twitter
Then discord
Mississippi boomers don’t frequent twitter
Support the best candidates in your local community
Volunteer to knock on doors if there’s a good candidate in your district
Shill for based people at church
Etc
If you live in a red district this is totally doable
If you live in a blue district then consider moving
But waaaaah I just want to watch anime and complain about how bad everything is
Though honestly if you’re young the best thing you can do is to just read and get yourself the education you were denied by boomers
Library cards are free
Hey! That's what I'm doing.
So is talking to your local priest
That too. A month ago I confessed to my priest at a local Cathedral.
I’m at my local church library right now
The best part of the Catholic Church is that it has money and a long history of reverence and study of classical texts
There are probably plenty of Good Books™️ and somebody to talk to you about them
If you know who to ask
Nice
Can't wait to sink my teeth into this writer. He's apparently a Catholic thinker.
Chesterton is based
Alright what's going on here?.
A while back I also read *The Collected Works of Joseph de Maistre* as translated by Jack Lively.
Very based book.
Not familiar with Maistre
Who dat
I felt that parts of it echoed what Endeavour talks about in his *Lies of the Enlightenment* series.
@Norik French philisophe who was vehemently against the growing liberalism in France circa the French Revolution and wrote a lot of very good essays on his thoughts against liberalism and traditional conservative values.
Ah
Honestly not that familiar with frenchies from that time
Besides the meme ones like Voltaire or Tocqueville
He is one of the many from France who established the intellectual attack on liberalism, believing its faults to be ideological and intellectual rather than simply the roots of a ruthless constitution or war.
@Norik Reading anything from anyone reven remotely associated to the Enlightenment is a big risk imo. There's too much bullshit.
Eh
The Social Contract which Endeavour talks about in his series is one such example I've come to dislike.
It’s overrated by the general population but there’s certainly value to certain ideas
Like property rights
Hobbes’ description of government as the natural order arising from the nature of man is probably right at its core
