2025-06-07 14:35:04There is a lie. A coward's lie. A slave's lie. A lie whispered into your ear by those who would rather you stay small, weak, obedient.
It goes: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
It sounds wise. It feels humble. But it is designed to disarm you.
It's what a priesthood tells the peasant, what the bureaucrat tells the citizen, what the parasite tells the host.
This is not wisdom. It is a weapon. It is propaganda. It is what a conquered people are taught so they never rise again. And make no mistake, right now, we are a conquered people. All of our institutions are controlled by those who hate us, who hate our children, who want to see us enslaved, and then dead. And they think it’s funny.

What Power Does
Power does not corrupt. Power reveals. It reveals who is worthy of it, and who is not. It reveals strength. It reveals weakness. It reveals your agency and capacity for responsibility.
To be a sovereign man, a whole man, is to possess power and wield it.
With power comes weight. With power comes failure.
And with power comes the terrible burden of knowing that others may live or die by your decisions. It may not always be life or death, sometimes it's whether a man keeps his job or feeds his children, whether a family stays together or breaks apart, whether a community survives or collapses. These decisions fall on the shoulders of those who lead, and their impact ripples out in unseen ways.
That is no small thing. Leadership is the heaviest yoke a man can carry.
The good man feels this weight more than most, because he cares, because he doubts, because he knows the cost of error. Because he has the vision to see into the future, dark as it might be.
But still, he must lead. Still, he must decide. Still, he must bear it.
Because failure and criticism are the cost of leadership, not evidence against it. If you expect leaders to be perfect, you are not ready for leadership. You are still a child.
Leadership demands judgment. It demands exclusion. It demands the ability to say, "No," and enforce it, with blood if necessary.
Not everyone will be pleased. That is not your job. Your job is to lead.
A group without leadership is a group without direction. But here's the deeper truth:
Most groups do not lack leaders because no one is capable. They lack leaders because the group itself is unworthy. Ungrateful. Cowardly.
They will not lift the man who leads. They will not shoulder his burdens with him. They will not defend his judgment.
All this, and worse, they turn on their leaders. They rip them to shreds like rabid dogs. He's too mild for this one, too radical for that one. Every mistake is seen as an indictment. They accuse their leaders of treason while they do nothing to help them and everything to undermine them.
Leadership only emerges when the group is willing to support leadership. When they become worthy of it. When they stop tearing down the man who leads and instead say, "Yes. You carry the weight, and we will carry you."
Natural law does not ask for submission; but it does demand alignment with what is true and right.
If you refuse to take power, someone else will. And it will not be the good man. It will not be the righteous man. It will not be the pure man. It will not be your kin.
Because the "good man" hesitates. He questions. He holds back out of respect for your will. He leaves the door open for the wolf.
But the evil man does not wait. He takes. He seizes. He grasps power with his own two hands. And he rules you because you let him.
So if you are ruled by a tyrant, it is your own fault, it is your fault for not seizing power, for not standing up, and for not lopping his upstart head off when you had the chance.
A tyrant thrives not on strength, but on your abdication and weakness.
The men of the West have been taught to hate power. To fear it. To flee from it.
And now, we are ruled by the worst among us. Not because we could not stop them. But because we would not seize what was ours.
We sold our birthright for comfort. We gave our wives to the corporation. Our children to the state. Our sovereignty to the narrative.
We traded the path of the sword, the way of the hero for gilded chains.
And now we wonder why we are slaves.
Enough!
If you want to be a man, a real man, you must take your power. You must build it. You must train for it. You must desire it and all the good it can do for you and your people. And you must do so without apology.
Not as a tyrant. But as a shepherd, a steward, a warrior, a judge, a priest.
Let a great man of history arise once again!

Cultivate your financial strength ,so you can walk away from any master.

Cultivate your political strength, so you can change what must be changed.

Cultivate your power to deny others power over you.
-
Cultivate your dangerous power for organized righteous violence.
And most of all, cultivate your moral strength, so you do not become the tyrant you despise.
If your ethics tell you to be weak, then your ethics are broken. If your morality demands you kneel, then your morality is a leash. If your religion tells you to submit, than you are a slave.
Break the chains that bind you.
Take the ring. Seize the crown. Sit on the throne.
And when a good man stands up from amongst you, support him. Carry him. Follow him.
And in doing so, become a man worthy of being followed.
This is the way back. Through strength. Through power. Through sovereignty.
Take the power. Or be ruled by those who do.
Lessons in Power: Three Men Who Took the Crown
Let me give you three stories, three proofs from our ancestors, across history and myth, of what happens when good men seize power, and why they must.
Charles Martel
In the 8th century, Europe faced an existential threat. The Umayyad Caliphate had surged across Iberia and pressed deep into Frankish lands. The future of Christian Europe trembled. And from the chaos arose a man, Charles Martel.
Charles did not inherit his power in peace. He took it through strength and cunning. He defied the weak Merovingian kings, raised armies from scattered loyalties, and prepared his men for battle.
At the Battle of Tours in 732, he met the advancing Islamic forces. His Frankish infantry held the line against cavalry charges, and when the enemy faltered, he broke them. That victory saved Western Europe from enslavement.
But the lesson is not only in the battle. It is in the act: Charles Martel took power. He did not wait for permission. He seized it, wielded it, and used it righteously, to preserve his people and his civilization.
Today, we face no less a crisis. And we will need another Charles.
Odysseus
After twenty years away, Odysseus returned to Ithaca to find his home invaded.
Suitors lounged in his halls, eating his food, courting his wife, and mocking his legacy. What did he do?
He planned. He revealed himself only when ready. And when the moment came, he struck, hard, fast, without mercy. With bow in hand, he slaughtered the parasites and restored order.
Odysseus did not ask for justice. He executed it. He did not beg for his throne. He claimed it.
The lesson is clear: when your house is invaded, when your order is usurped, you do not plead, you purge. The power you do not take will be taken from you.
In a way, modern men are like Odysseus. We've been absent, not always by choice. Some went to war. Others were consumed by work, distracted by comfort, dulled by propaganda. But the result is the same: our houses, too, have been invaded.
The time of absence is over. It is time to return. And not with apologies, not with compromise, but with clarity, decisiveness, and force.
Yudhishthira
In the Mahabharata, Yudhishthira is the eldest of the Pandavas, a man of dharma, justice, truth, restraint. When cheated out of his kingdom by the Kauravas, he endured exile, betrayal, humiliation.
But when the time came, he took up arms. Not with eagerness, but with duty. For only by force could righteousness be restored. After necessary war and bloodshed, he reclaimed the throne.
And yet he wept. He questioned. He bore the crown like a cross.
Yudhishthira teaches us this: the good man must rule, not because he desires power, but because no one else will wield it with justice. And if he refuses, the wicked will not. One of the deeper lessons of Yudhishthira's story is that no matter how righteous the leader, sometimes war and death are necessary to restore peace and justice. Righteousness alone is not enough, force must be willing to accompany virtue.
These are not stories. They are warnings.
Beware those who take moral instruction from modern fiction, especially fiction written by old men dreaming in ink about the world they fear to confront. The Lord of the Rings is a beloved tale, yes, but its lesson on power is self-contradictory. The One Ring, symbolic of ultimate power, is cast as inherently corrupting. And yet one of the central resolutions of the story is the return of the King, of Aragorn, who must take the throne and rule justly. And not only rule,Aragorn must wage a bloody war of extermination against the Orcs, the enemies of his people, to secure that rule and protect what remains of civilization. The lesson is muddled: don't touch power, unless you're destined to.
This is fantasy morality. It is aesthetic, not operational. It is designed to feel noble, not to work in the real world.
The Western tradition of heroism is not the fleeing from power, it is the seizing of it. The hero takes the legendary weapon, slays the monsters, casts down tyrants, and restores order with sword and will. Power is not evil. Evil is what happens when good men refuse power.
Natural Law does not moralize power, it governs it. It recognizes that power is real, necessary, and eternal. The law of reciprocity is not the law of submission, it is the law that limits domination through equal retaliatory threat. It is the framework by which power becomes cooperation.
So yes, take the power. And yes, wield it well. And remember: the greatest evil is not power itself. It is leaving power to the wicked because the righteous were too afraid to wield it.
If you do not become Charles, you will be conquered. If you do not become Odysseus, you will be dispossessed. If you do not become Yudhishthira, you will be ruled by Duryodhana.
Take the power. Or be ruled by those who do.
