“Until you learn to do it for yourself,”

from the movie Citizen Vigilante.

Agency: From Merriam Webster – the capacity, condition, or state of acting or of exerting power.

We need to remember how to do it for ourselves.

There’s a thing called the social contract. We, as men, have delegated our agency to the State for the promise that they will ‘serve and protect’ and that the justice system will be swift, fair, and blind to class and wealth. That our government will protect the citizens, not the invaders.

We have been told that we men are unnecessary; that the State will take our place as protectors and providers. They have branded real men ‘toxic.’

We’ve tried it their way. How’s that working out for us? For our children? Anyone who has read the Reacher series of books or watched the movies or TV series, or watched Rip of the Yellowstone series administer what I like to call Cowboy Justice would understand what taking back our agency means.

In my view, everything comes down to circumstance and opportunity. To act prematurely would be to commit suicide and be branded a white supremacist or domestic terrorist while not actually accomplishing much. However, should my wife, my children, or my grandchildren become victims, I would allow the justice system to work. If it failed, I would take back my agency and deal with the problem. The circumstance – the violence against my clan. The opportunity – people have names and addresses. Oh, and first the traitors, then the invaders. The judge should not receive a pass.
