00:00:00.000This is slightly adapted. It's by no means a new piece. It's one that goes back a number of years, but I think it's an important message, especially for all of our men out there.
00:00:14.340those of you born in the last few decades have inherited a world which despite all the gimmicks
00:00:26.100distractions and novelties all the illusions of freedom and progress we are living in what
00:00:33.000Nietzsche called the great going down entertainment easily found pointless distraction even more so
00:00:42.420truth and idealism, rare and devalued, love of the ancestors and their values,
00:00:50.880largely forgotten, and above all, loyalty to and identification with our folk,
00:00:57.780this has been cast as the greatest offense of all.
00:01:03.660The public and political world in which we live is one where the ways of our ancestors
00:01:08.900and those of us who admire them are hateful and possibly criminal. We live at the end of an age.
00:01:16.140We face a time when chaos rules, when the natural order is dismissed, when ideals are cast out,
00:01:22.080and the crass and unworthy win the adulation of the masses. We have only to look at the popular
00:01:28.220culture, so-called, and the daily news, for examples. The trash and trivia you will see there0.74
00:01:36.260cannot and must not go on. We must seek a return, a revival, a renaissance of that which is noble,
00:01:46.060idealistic, and uplifting. Traditionally, great men and those good men who support and follow them
00:01:53.180are the ones who have brought about such a rebirth. William Wallace was an example.
00:01:59.740Tolkien wrote about stories about such heroes, men who took up arms because it was their destiny and
00:02:06.040their duty and who were followed by other armed men because those men recognized them for what
00:02:11.580they were and fought alongside them. It was better to fight and to die rather than submit to evil.
00:02:21.200Our modern society is oblivious to such idealism. We are ruled by bandits and sellouts, by
00:02:27.960politicians who make deals and who openly accept money from evil organizations to ensure their
00:02:34.440re-election. Their crimes and our decadent toleration of them stinks to the heavens.
00:02:43.340We need men. Not simulations of men. Not gender-bending imitations of men, but men.
00:02:52.920Men who will do right and fear no one. Men who will put it all on the line. Men with testosterone
00:03:01.580own and idealism and an understanding of our role in history. It should go without saying0.94
00:03:07.920that this in no way reduces the role of our women. Hail to them. But I'm talking to the0.99
00:03:13.160men now and any of the ladies who happen to be listening. We, you and I, are fortunate
00:03:20.380in that we belong to one of the few organizations that address our current situation. We must
00:03:27.460do our part. We need men who can build families, support them, and protect them in good times and
00:03:36.320bad. We need men who can speak well enough to explain our religion and beliefs to others.
00:03:42.940We need men with the social skills to work well with other men and women of the AFA.
00:03:49.240We need men who do not abuse alcohol or drugs.
00:03:54.200We need men who love, defend, and support our gods, our folk, and the reputation of the AFA.
00:04:01.940We need men who will actively promote and help build the AFA.
