Violence
“Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me”.
I suppose whoever penned this children’s saying had neither the foresight to see the utter crippling of Western society through the moral syphilis which is liberalism, where “offensive” words are now categorized in the same manner as violence, or had never been subjected to a physical attack and suffered genuine violence.
From a very young age, probably due to growing up in a strong household and being the witness to the power of violence. I have always been both fascinated by it and attracted to it. Not just for the visual power of it but its ability for control and even subvert the course of events and individuals.
At the pivotal age of 12, after joining a new school I was the victim (that word in itself makes me feel awkward, but it seems the most congruent to the situation) of many physical attacks from one specific individual. This taught me my first lesson of violence - the absolute power which can be levied by the use of it to dominate the spirit of the loser. There seems to be a metaphysical barrier around us all that once penetrated by an aggressor, gives rise to spasms of vulnerability which in turn, change us. Less than 6 months later I started boxing. Within a year I was competing in both regional and national competitions and was starting to develop an air of someone who was not only capable of defending themselves, but who was regularly dominating opponents in the ring . At 13, I moved to a new school due to the natural ebb and flow of educational progression and was seen by another individual as a target for his abuse.
It was common knowledge that I was essentially a competitive fighter at this point and this individual may have wanted to secure a win over me for his own reputation or to bolster his ego. One day I was walking through the school halls when he decided to attack me, his method of choice was to side kick me as hard as he possibly could. A small crowd had gathered and was waiting for a reprisal. I laughed at him, and then commented “is that it? ”, he did nothing else and walked off. By not engaging in a physical altercation with him the message which I sent to him and those watching was that he was so beneath me I did see him as an opponent. By laughing I had relegated him to somebody worthy of social denigration. From that exact day he never attempted to intimidate me again, and socially became somewhat of a local gangster, which also extended my own social currency.
I learned a valuable second lesson, when to withhold violence and choosing an opponent in a logical, long-sighted manner.

As we all have seen with the rise of leftist groups such as ANTIFA (which in turn arose from a little studied leftist field of thought called deconstructionism), violence can be a valuable resource when fostered into a small, tightly-knit core. Especially when it is used to control or dictate a narrative. Being seen as capable of inflicting violence in not only offensive, but in defensive situations is absolutely essential in today’s world against both those who wish to enslave us to political ideologies but also new social norms. Power only respects power. If you present yourself as someone who “just wants to get along” or someone who fears confrontation, the world and it’s mother will spare no expense in wringing everything it wants from you.
The final point I wanted to make was that during the rise of the “bolshevik” (quoted as it wasn’t homegrown) revolution many Russians who were genuine patriots were absolutely against communist and/or anti-Tsarist notions, but one of the leaders of that revolution, Leon Trotsky (real name Bronstein), decided that there was a necessity to instill terror in those who oppose the new regime. “Shoot 1000 to intimidate a million” was not only an interesting off-handed comment but comprised his strategy with dealing with dissidents. As such, we can see that in any social situation, whether prison, or a workplace, being perceived as someone who can inflict pain or suffering of any manner on a person at a moment’s notice is worth its weight in gold. Not only will it give you more leniency when errors are made, but it will subdue maneuvers intended to sabotage you in either a social or political way and act as a gravitational field, bringing those into your environment who can genuinely provide value.
(A side note: being violent towards those who are weaker than you is not only dishonorable, but when it concerns animals or those who cannot defend themselves-absolute cowardice and should be punished with the most intense brutality.)
