Start Something
I have been following Maj Toure and the Solutionary Center for a while. I didn’t really get it until recently. I mean, I understand constitutionalism and second amendment responsibilities, but not what he is really teaching We, the People: responsibility and freedom.
A person who does not understand how to hold a weapon, cannot use a weapon. A person who does not use their weapon, will not respect it. This is the basic underpinning of freedom. Freedom is admired, sought after, and feared. Something that is feared will always come under attack and it is the freedman’s responsibility to protect it from attack.
The second big lesson I was missing was to start something. I thought ownership was enough. I don’t take jobs that don’t provide equity because ownership is the fastest way out of economic poverty. What is the fastest way out of spiritual, social, and political poverty? Just because you own something, does not make you rich in these areas. We see this lesson in Vivek Ramaswamy’s story: he owned and controlled a business but was still a political prisoner while he held onto that control. He had to choose between control over the corporation or control over his social, political, and spiritual life. He chose the latter.
During a time when DEI, ESG, CEI, etc… are all pushing us to fall in line with their ideals, it has become more important than ever to start and maintain your own grind whatever that may be. I have been asked throughout the years to start my own training and advice service - just to get into a building somewhere and educate the people. I have not because, I thought I could never make any kind of an impact. I was wrong.
We all can make an impact. It is Strong Dad June. It is time for the strongest of us to stand firm, stand in our values, and stand on business. I am in contact with a facility. I hope to do my part to educate the people and empower them politically. However, there is no need to wait. I am going to attend every event I can and push the strength that we need in the coming years, the strength with which I have been blessed. If those who have it don’t spread it, those without it will never receive it. That is the work. That is the duty.
