Face reality. That's the most important thing. Face reality, no matter how fucking bad it is. It can be dogshit, outright catastrophic,. but if you act on fantasies, wishful thinking over reality, then ALL your efforts will inevitably be wasted. If you put your efforts towards reality, victories might be rare but every tiny sliver of gain you gain will be genuine, something you can actually build upon on the long run. And you are in the long run, these are the hard times that the weak man has created. You will not live the comfy life of your boomer elders. They ate up centuries worth of social capital, the high trust society of reason and law built up from the Renaissance and they ate up your demographic and economic future too. You will never have it as easy as them. Instead, you have to be the first generation of the hard men build the good times that you will never live in for your grandchildren. Lead a virtuous life, have families, have lots of kids, have friends, have careers, have resources, have connections, build genuine communities, circles of trust for the likeminded people, be someone people pay attention to, so you could spread the correct messages and be an example for them, This is the only way society can be rebuilt. not dreaming about some boogaloo day of the rope happening that will magically turn back everything into an eternal nineties, cause that will never happen
