Many variations on that theme, all constructed of reality bricks.
The counter is the oft-whipped “Myth of the Noble Savage” which is really getting long in the tooth.

Voltaire quite accurately warned of the inevitability of the French Revolution considerably prior to the reality. The “men” in American society are not to be taken lightly. Anything at hand can and will be a deadly weapon in their hands.
“The “men” in American society are not to be taken lightly.”

Make that *some* men.
Probably less than half of those out there.
The other half have been *feminized* in various ways.

Had to look up who Ernst Jünger was, and I cannot imagine any living European writer I’ve heard of uttering its like today. It was sort of a brief glimpse of the Europe that was, a place fading away now. Some of those Wrath of Gnon quotes make me melancholy every now and again, messages from a lost world. The World Wars destroyed it, we’re witnessing the death throes every day in the news.
Although Jerry Pournelle would remind us that despair is a sin.

My non-scientific self- consensus is that most/many of the common posters are in the 60+ age group. Personally I am following somewhat closely behind, but by a decade. I started somewhat late in my life and have an 11 and 12 year old. We train in ground combat and firearms regularly. Hopefully if/when the time comes they will know what to do. Fighting for our free way of life is justifiable.
Monty, for Europeans currently sounding the alarm about the quicksanding of old western Europe, try the books, articles, speeches, interviews (YouTube) of Douglas Murray and Geert Wilders. From the Muslim world, Ibn Warraq, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Wafa Sultan. The nature of the threat is no secret; most of those threatened are in denial or in deep sleep or coma.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

You will fight like you train.
I love that headline… “When the First Amendment fails the Second Amendment becomes the First Amendment.” Did you dream that up, Gerard?

Well said, GVDL.
