I haven't even finished it, but it contained a simple statement so profound that I could not resist posting it here immediately.
This I might always have been obvious to others, but it was a revelation to me. And I can see that it is absolutely true.
In one simple paragraph, it both clarifies the problem and indicates the solution.
(emphasis mine)
Politics is a trailing indicator. Culture leads, politics follows. There cannot be a political sea change in America unless and until there is a philosophical, educational, and cultural sea change. Over the last 100 years progressives have overtaken education, media, fine arts, literature, and pop culture — and thus as a result they have overtaken politics. Not the other way around.
And this...
"...secession is a tactically superior approach in my view: it is far less daunting to convince liberty-minded people to walk away from the state than to convince those with a statist mindset to change.
Because...
"...we make a fatal mistake when we dilute our message to seek approval from people who seemingly are hardwired to oppose us. And we waste precious time and energy. "
I highly recommend reading the whole thing, and if you are one of "us"....let's talk.
