Picture
an Afghan village in a remote valley of the Hindu Kush. A majority of
villagers are indifferent towards terrorism aimed at kittens. They
support or oppose anti-kitten terrorism depending upon which way the
wind is blowing. A minority of villagers favor anti-kitten jihad in
principle but feel no immediate need to seek out kittens to destroy. A
minority of the minority is adamantly anti-kitten and wishes to create
a swath of territory from Spain to Indonesia that is 100% kittenfrei.
This group of extreme kitten haters has recently been joined by kitten
haters from outside the valley, some of whom are farangi. They’ve
brought enough lawyers, guns, and money to shift the indifferent
majority towards supporting anti-kitten terrorism.
What to do?

follow, having spent much my non-Ivy League education in the pursuit of
cheap booze and expensive women, but I persevered with the aid of
strategically placed linkage. Stick with it; "asabiya" will be
useful. Others will breeze right through, like the boorish man
who felt it necessary to comment about "cutting the corpus callosum"
wtf? Well, I say to them, f-f-fuc .. eat me! Here's one more excerpt.

Just as other governmental initiatives have sapped the self-organizing
instincts of American communities in favor of reliance on centralized
bureaucracy, the American all volunteer professional military of modern
times has sapped the instinct for Americans to organize in their own
defense. Having professionals as a supplement, as leavening,
trainers, and consultants, for citizen defense is necessary. But
encouraging a culture of waiting around for the professionals to show up
and save the day is profoundly alien to past American experience. It
creates two classes, the protectors and the protected, and violates asabiya.
A people domesticated by benevolent professionals and deprived of the
necessity spur of self-protection will quickly cease to be a
self-governing people. Universal service at least in a state militia is a
necessary element of American citizenship, as envisioned by the Militia Act of
1792. Every free male citizen was to receive military
training from their state: [Entirety]
