Last night I re-watched the "The Good Shepherd" (great cast; Damon, De
Niro, Jolie). It reminded me of the price we pay for trying to do the
right thing in a world of shit. The quest to "avoid evil" can often
drive us into its hands, and we're left only to choose the lesser. To
"do good" is not the same. It almost always requires
sacrifice. Everyone has capacity for how poor, alone, and frightened
they're prepared to be in pursuit of "the good". Duty and unwavering
firmness of purpose remain unpopular, and something few people have
the stomach for today. But there can also be comradeship and a sense
of being part of something historical if you choose the harder path.

Meh, I've tried and all I got was hate for many years and very few staunch friends. Sheeple don't want truth, justice and the Amerikan way. After seeing 2020-2022 in action (the lies, the gaslighting, waving evidence in peoples faces until I'm hoarse), I've decided to join The Empire. Evil all the way. Abstergo, here I come.
