The Men of the West have suggestions for the Alt-Right, the
Alt-Lite, and other defenders of Western civilization:
So, you have looked around and
realized that the world is not how it should be. Things that were good in the
past have decayed. Our culture is crumbling around us. We see things that
are good and proper being ignored or even intentionally dismantled, replaced
with obscenities and evil. Whether we are talking about governmental policies
or business practices, or even educational opportunities, we can no longer rely
on things as they are. They do not produce an end result that indicates a
healthy, godly culture. So what do we do? As I see it, we have three choices.
First, the thing we cannot do, though it is an option, is to just stick our heads back in the sand and ignore it. Look, it is time to make a stand, not just let things progress down this path to destruction.
Secondly, we can point out problems. We can gripe about them. We can write articles, blog posts, and generally complain. Now, I do think we need to do this. It is important. Without calling out the problems, nothing will be done. However, we cannot stop there.
igThird, we have to address these problems, whatever they may be, and begin to do something about them. We point them out, and then enact change. The time for “go along to get along” is past. In fact, it was never a good choice, but so many of us just figured things will work themselves out. Unfortunately, that is not the case. We have to take real action.

- Use resources that are consistent with our world view.
We recently ran a post with such resources. Make it your habit to support
them, whether with finances or just by using them. The more we spread
these healthy alternatives, the more people will be exposed to them and
the more impact they will have.
- Use your own skills and talents to produce more
alternatives. Already, good folks have created alternatives to Wikipedia,
Twitter, and more. Other alternatives are in the works. We need folks to
step up and create even more of these. If your skill set allows you to
help produce those, then go for it. Many, maybe most, of these won’t catch
on, but so what? Some will. The more that do, the more that can follow. We
just need traction to get these things to succeed.
- Stop complaining about those who are stepping up.
Rather than trying to be a “moderate,” be an extremist. This is no time
for moderation. As Barry Goldwater stated: “Extremism in the defense of
liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no
virtue.” We have no patience for moderates. We want wholesale change and
will work to make it happen.
- Network with likeminded folks. Recently, a commenter on
this site pointed out that too many people spend time complaining and
writing articles, but not enough time actually doing anything. While the
majority of his post was incorrect, on this one point, he was spot
on.
These are key points.
Unless you are a beta tester or a proofreader, don't kid yourself into thinking
that complaints and criticism are "helping" anyone or doing anything.
They're not. In almost all cases, the criticism is superficial and redundant,
while the complaints are both irritating and demoralizing. And perhaps more
importantly, if you had ever done anything yourself, you would know that.
So get involved. Do something. Act. Build. Cheer. Support. Subscribe. Sustain. That's how you can make a difference. That's how we will stave off collapse.
