Today's reading, "Character is Fate"
Seneca, Moral Letters 47.15b
"Each person acquires their own character, but their official roles are designed by chance. You should invite some to your table because they are deserving, others because they may come to deserve it."
As Identitarians involved in this struggle for our people and ultimately against nihilism, we need to keep two things in mind with regards to character.
1. That we must strive to have the most upright character we can to be an example.
2. That when we see our own people failing to meet that standard, know that they may not be flawed and broken permanently, that they too are products of chance.
Upright character...check
@Roland Not a big fan of the Aeneid. It's an unnecessary sequel to the Oddyssey and the Iliad. It's the Force Awakens of classical Greco-Roman literature.
@Virgil Harsh criticism right there. It's my first time reading it, so I guess I'll see if it's that bad.
I try not too read too much, I'm overly " inspired " as it is
@Roland It's not bad per se, just kind of unoriginal and uninspired. The whole thing was written as a subtle dig at Augustus.
Wow, just saw this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UouJ9HT3WOs
@Virgil Interesting. I'll keep that in mind when I read it. Thanks for the feedback.
Thumbs up that Freiheit guy in the comments.
Interesting how the world's largest lawfirm is representing the C - ville commissioners pro Bono on their monument case
Just a coincidence I suppose....
Vee getting into the migrant invasion of the U.S. 👌🏻

Is Jack pulling an Elon Musk and trying to steer his own ship into the ground?
So it seems...
The like feature is literally the only thing keeping people addicted to Twitter via the dopamine rush of getting them.
Yeah. Not sure how this is gonna pan out...
Gab for the win. Maybe. Never thought that would happen but cool.
On a long enough timeline, if they manage to keep their noses above DNS "water," it may well play out that way...
I dunno about Gab at this point, it'll be totally toxic to touch it for a while
Thankfully, though, you can be anonymous, so while it won't be as handy for normy-friendly content creators with their names and faces out there, their followers and potential audiences could use it as a means of amplifying their messages.
Not necessarily a good thing, but we may well see a stratification of social media, whereby the younger, less give-a-sh#t crowd moves toward Gab, while the X-ers and boombers lag behind to see how things go...
Just spit-balling, though.
Sucks, 'cause I was looking forward to the episode of Tuckah when things would get bad enough that he would finally shill for Gab, but that's not gonna happen now.
Wow the new Apple News app's defaults is basically like reading CNN/It's Going Down/ NYT
Let me see if I can manage a surprised face... Nah, I just look constipated.
that's the point @ThisIsChris
Lol
Yeah, I don't think I've every used that particular degree of distortion 😂
@ThisIsChris The "Pocket" news suggestions I get when I open a new tab in Firefox are the same. All lefitst rags spewing their bs.
