At what point does radical activism cross the line and become a declaration of war? It’s a question I’ve been pondering for a long time, as well as the implications it has for the concept of “democracy.” How much should civilization and heritage bend to the desires of contrary groups in the name of freedom? If a movement has consistently proven itself to be a destructive force that seeks to undermine the foundations of the west, should they be allowed to stay in the west? Is it authoritarian to kick them out? If it is, does it matter?
If these activists hate western culture so much, why would they want to stay in places like the US? Why not leave of their own accord to a nation or society that fits their philosophical demands? The only logical conclusion is that they stay because they want to sabotage the US and force everyone else to submit to their political vision. The truth is, leftists are ideological colonizers pretending to be “victims” of colonization.
Last year I published an article titled ‘A Study Of Cultism Shows Us Why Gatekeeping Against Leftists Is A Good Thing.’ The core of my argument was rooted in a historic example of far-left extremism and moral relativism allowed to run amok in a rural community in Oregon, and how state and federal governments eventually had to deal with the threat.
In 1981, the small town of Antelope, Oregon was chosen by the Rajneesh cult led by a man who would later call himself “Osho” as the future capital of his movement. After being run out of India by numerous investigation, the cult sought out a place where they could infiltrate and establish without much opposition. The Rajneesh would visit the town in limited numbers, buy up land, and then thousands arrived suddenly in waves.
The surrounding areas were primarily conservative, and this was the real genius behind the Rajneesh relocation. You see, in conservative regions of America there is a continuing respect for individual liberty and this is something we should always hold dear. That said, our habit of accepting people’s intentions at face value and assuming that discrimination is the same as authoritarianism sometimes gets us into trouble. “Democracy” without skepticism and discernment is a recipe for disaster, and frankly, not all freedom is good. There is such a thing as responsibility, which is a concept that remains alien to most progressives.
At first, the people of Antelope welcomed the Rajneesh with open arms under the notion that they would stick to their compound and let the townspeople be. However, as is always the case with collectivists, any minor resistance to their designs triggers a raging vendetta. The cult, not getting everything they wanted from the town, used their large numbers to take over the local government and push out the original residents.
The group was engaged in numerous criminal activities including fraud, bio-terrorism and sexual exploitation of members and minors. When they came under investigation by state officials they then planned a number of actions including attempts to steal elections, political assassinations, poisoning local restaurants to keep voter numbers down, etc. How did Oregonians respond? They blocked the Rashneesh members from voting based on a loophole, and eventually authorities ran Osho and his followers out of the country.
The town of Antelope and the surrounding areas celebrated joyously. The cancer that had infected their community was gone; a great and oppressive weight had been lifted.
Many conservatives and libertarians today might view the measures used by Oregon and US officials against the Rajneesh as unconstitutional. After all, many of their criminal activities were only suspected at the time, not proven. Yet, if you ask the people who lived in and around Antelope during that bizarre event, most of them would tell you they are thankful.
I use the Rajneesh as a comparison to the political left for good reason; their behaviors and methods are almost identical. They are both cults of moral relativism, placing subjectivity over facts and hedonism over self control. They have also both used the western ideals of “democracy” and freedom as a weapon against the very people that hold those ideals dear. One of Osho’s primary arguments was that if American officials came after him, they would be violating their own values and thus undermining their own system.
But maybe the system of liberty is not made for people who want to tear it down. Maybe they don’t deserve its benefits.
Leftists think they have the edge because you have rules while they do not. They see their Utopian vision as absolute, and anyone that stops them from getting what they want is a tyrant that must be eliminated by any means necessary. Usually this involves overwhelming less organized targets with a mob, tearing the community (or country) down piece by piece until there’s nothing left. Once deconstruction is complete, they then build whatever society they want on the ashes.
The only realistic solution in dealing with the Rajneesh cult was to run them out of the country on a rail. If they had refused, the only solution would have been to imprison them forever, or go to war. This is how the world really works – Sometimes there is no diplomatic or constitutional solution. Sometimes two sides cannot be reconciled and they must be separated, or they must fight until one or the other is gone.
The image of America as a land of freedom and opportunity preferable to third world dictatorships is a comforting one. Yet, this idea has also been perverted under the guise of progressive humanism. The woke seem to think that freedom means they should be allowed to do whatever they want whenever they want, including violating the rights of others in the name of righteous indignation. They do not have any concept of “the non-aggression principle” that is spoken of fondly by Libertarians.
We saw this clear as day during the covid farce. We have seen it during many mob actions over the past five years alone. Leftists and globalists believe in double standards. They believe that the ends justify the means. And, they believe that western civilization is an “outdated” edifice with outdated rules. They believe it boxes them in and holds them back from achieving the pure ecstasy of their greater Utopia.
Once people understand that the woke care about winning over what is true and what is right it becomes much easier to embrace what needs to be done about them and their allies.
We Are At War
Woke acolytes and their elitist masters are not pursuing activism, they are pursuing war. It’s a 4th Generation war using tactics of treachery, subterfuge and psychological manipulation, but it is a war all the same. And since they are at war with us, this begs the question – Is it not acceptable to return fire?
It is well understood and openly admitted by many woke activists that their ultimate goal is the deconstruction of western culture. What this means varies from group to group, but the overall mantra seems to be a “burn it all down and dance” approach. The latest phrase they use is “decolonization,” and this is a relatively clever tactic. Decolonization infers that leftists are not the aggressors, they are the “defenders” rebelling against a culture that stole land and resources from innocent victims.
Of course the entire history of the world fits that paradigm – Every culture, every race, every religion and almost every movement has at one time or another engaged in conquest. Historically, the political left is notorious for it. Their communist/socialist/fascist forebears killed many millions of people in the 20th Century in the process of obtaining domain over one nation or another.
Every group has committed atrocities, at least by modern progressive standards. In many cases it was just war, and leftists say they want to punish the descendants of the winners. The colonization argument is nonsense; we know it’s nonsense and they know it’s nonsense. Why do they only care about colonization related to the west? Why not Asia? Why not the Islamic hordes of the Middle Ages? Why not the Aztecs and various violent Native American tribes? Because they only need an excuse to tear down western culture. That’s all there is to it.
It seems to me that conservatives and moderates are trying to solve this dispute with leftists within the confines of civilized rules and the ballot box, while leftists are using mobs, riots, corporate interference, government force, disinformation, school indoctrination and sabotage.
Decolonizing Leftists From Western Society
It’s not all doom and gloom; the woke movement has suffered multiple defeats in the culture war the past couple years. The public is growing tired of the propaganda saturation used by the establishment media and people are sick of woke busybodies inserting themselves into every aspect of daily life. That said, such monsters don’t go quietly into the night, they will try to wreak havoc as they are pushed back.
We can’t forget that through all of this turmoil the globalists still remain in their positions of power and influence. If they are not eliminated from the equation then it really doesn’t matter how many times leftists are defeated in the social arena, the money men will always have the resources to fund and train more radicals and the whole mess starts over again.
The logical conclusion is to recognize that these people will have to be removed from western culture, by force if necessary. This is not an outlandish prospect. Many nations including western nations have provisions for removing destructive people and organizations from their borders, even when they are natural born citizens.
In the US, this would be considered a violation of the 14th Amendment and the rules of citizenship, but of course, the 14th Amendment only applies to how the federal government conducts itself, not the general populace. And when someone engages in a war with a large percentage of the American public in an effort to annihilate their way of life, they do not deserve to be treated with kid gloves.
We all know where this conflict is heading. The balkanization of the US is assured in the near future, and this might ease tensions. But can red states and blue states live peacefully next to each other for very long? The political left and the globalists will NEVER give up on their fantasy of a fully centralized and socialist America, where all memory of true liberty is wiped away.
In some cases, discrimination is good. There can be no coexistence with such people, at least not in the organized form they have taken today. There are still hundreds of millions of Americans that value the core beliefs of the west: Meritocracy, free markets, private property, self sufficiency, independence, reason, critical thinking, childhood innocence and for many, religious devotion and discipline. The left values none of these things. If we do not defend our ground vigorously and soon, we will lose everything in the span of a single generation.

The people in Washington are destroying your retirement account! Slowly but surely, the value of your 401(k) or IRA is being eaten away thanks to out-of-control inflation. And our elected officials in D.C. don’t care! In fact, they seem to be accelerating this trend with new legislation to print trillions of new dollars. And this is why I recommend Gold IRAs.

Brandon, in your example of the cultists in Oregon, the State and Federal governments used force to eliminate the threat of the cultists. The problem we have with progressives is that they have control over the Federal government. Any move to oust the progressives, leftists, in the US would mean civil war and our enemy would have the greater fire power. Conservatives are reluctant to start the war because we know that our property and families would likely be destroyed. We hope the problem can be solved peacefully. When things get bad enough then the fighting will begin. The leftists want that war. The conservatives do not.
No, the leftists don’t want a war, they want quiet submission, which is why they are so aggressive in obstructing conservative organization. If they wanted a war, they would stop interfering in our ability to form larger groups. Also, it doesn’t really matter who initiates the removal, the point remains that once the cult was gone the state and communities went back to normal. The solution is the solution – regardless of how it is accomplished.
They definitely don’t want anyone fighting back, which is why they push their agenda harder in areas where they know it will be accepted more, and push it far less in areas with more people who believe in liberty and would fight back. This makes it very obvious that they are extremely calculating in trying to push things only however hard they think they can get away with, without the embarrassment for them of people fighting back and rejecting them.
Exactly. Like the “poor,” the left will always be with us. They replace like rabbits. Progressives are sloppy thinkers. They are sociopathic. Separation is the only way out. For example New California has passed most legal hurdles to allow the conservative counties of California to become a new state modeled after West Virginia. The West Virgia model proves separation can occur peacefully and boiler plated to other parts of the country. In the absence of same we are doomed to the tyranny and dystopia of unhinged political theory.
“How much should civilization and heritage bend to the desires of contrary groups in the name of freedom?”
.
Short answer: Not At All.
.
“… maybe the system of liberty is not made for people who want to tear it down. Maybe they don’t deserve its benefits.”
.
No They don’t. They are using and abusing the very system that allows them the freedom to operate as they see fit. Yet They do not extend this same circumstance and right to others.
.
“… since they are at war with us, this begs the question – Is it not acceptable to return fire?”
.
It is not just acceptable but imperative. If someone is shooting at you (in various forms of what that can mean) than you have a moral and ethical duty of self-protection and self-defense to vigorously defend yourself against such attacks.
.
“We all know where this conflict is heading. The balkanization of the US is assured in the near future…”
.
The Right of Self-Determination is – or should be – a natural human right. This is as basic to our human existence as eating and sleeping.
.
Of course, the False gods of our Earth never allow people this rightful existence. These selfish, power-mad idiots live only to dominate others and find ways to ruin their lives.
.
And this why We the People never seem to advance our situation from generation to generation. We do not control our very own lives and environment. So this means we are always living in a Hostile Environment.
.
“In some cases, discrimination is good.”
.
‘Discrimination’ has become a demonized word. But it should not be. We must always use discrimination in everything we do.
.
We need to use discrimination in picking a career. We need to use discrimination in picking the right Life mate. We need to use discrimination in what we choose to eat and drink. We need to use discrimination to decide what to believe in. In short, people need MORE and BETTER discrimination in our lives.
.
Of course ‘Discrimination’ has been claimed by those who see this word only as tool to categorize and harm others. But that is just one narrow version of Discrimination.
.
The fact is, the only way out of our current mess is to use more and properly used Discrimination in our lives.
.
Don’t let anyone tell you that Discrimination is always bad. That is a lie. It can be our savior. And it looks like our only one right now.
Discrimination: Exactly. Sometimes discrimination is a great thing. Like when I was dating and looking for a woman to marry, I discriminated against all the crazies and other characteristics I wouldn’t want in a lifelong partner.
Best secular article I have read in 2023. Well done Brandon.
Agree. Excellent!
I have talked about this before. Nobody is enforcing the law which would have done what you wanted. So we have become LAWLESS just as much as they are.
What did that lady say? Doing nothing is affirmation. That’s why they are winning.
Exactly. It’s been a clown world for quite some time…it’s just the last 3 years where it became much more obvious.
“doing nothing” is the equivalent of consenting to be governed by these swine. our passivity has been, thus far, our consent and endorsement for it to continue.
“Nobody is enforcing the law which would have done what you wanted.” Exactly.
Isn’t it all there in our Constitution…our Country, and laws by which it functions?
But the government has been bought and paid for. There is no representation for the people in government. Money is the problem. It is the “root of all evil”. It is destroying our Country. It is destroying the entire world.
The law is often a crutch that lulls people into a false sense of security and prevents them from doing what is necessary. Also, the Constitution cannot defend itself. Money is not the problem – The cabal is the problem along with their foot soldiers. They need to be removed from the picture before anything in this country improves.
To “save” U.S and West? To my mind – currently – 2 choices: secession from leftist states and/or wokists (the useful idiots and tools/”weapons” of the globalists and establishment) or civil war. Not be easy; we know. Don’t make mistake about it.
I might add: what else?!
I see no need to cede anything. We didn’t let the country fall apart in 1861 and we shouldn’t allow it to happen now. The leftist can leave or go mumble in a corner somewhere, but no argument should be brooked in setting the nation right. It just starts with adults saying no. Begin by expelling junior activists from campus, re-moving tenure from the teaching profession. Then the real fun begins when we begin the “Long March” through the civil servant ranks. The wailing, crying, lawsuits, gnashing of teeth, and rolling of eyes will be severe, but the fate of the Republic will be in balance. Besides, think of the schadenfreude.
what was the loophole that was used to block the Rashneesh members from voting?
Many of them were considered new residents and as I understand it the state delayed their voter registrations to prevent them from hijacking an important election and prevent them from influencing certain legislation.
Isn’t it also true that many if them weren’t citizens?
No, most of them were American citizens which the Rajneesh recruited to move to Oregon to take over. As far as the foreign elements (like Osho and his squad), they were simply kicked out of the country.
A complete eradication of the Deep State in short order will change the entire landscape. If you think this outcome is far-fetched, think again.
i thought again and again, and still find it VERY far-fetched. using the tools that have been given to us by the increasingly fascist state (“voting”, the fulyl corrupted and neutered courts, donations, whats left of the 1A, redressing your grievances by communicating with “representatives”, etc), it will NEVER happen.
the ones who hold the reigns of power will not give it up peacefully.
“And since they are at war with us, this begs the question – Is it not acceptable to return fire?”
indeed. I have become fond of asking: what happens when only one side of a conflict acknowledges that it is in a war, and participates in actions against the other side?
Genocide is what happens.
we should NOT oblige and step onto the train cars.
No doubt about it, that is the best option!! We must have America first, leftists have never been America first, but only consider themselves first!!
Conservatives like you predict a war and concentration camps because you project. You worry that these people will treat you like you have treated the world. Just like slave owners worried that they will be treated like slaves.
This type of speech is like a preamble to 1930’s germany. Always an internal enemy that is blamed for the failures of capitalism. Fascism is the twin brother to Capitalism.
There are no leftists in power. You are fighting a phantom. Chasing your own tail. Liberalism in America is right wing and you are simply so far right that even liberalism cannot stand you.
This low IQ brand of argument reminds me quite a bit of the leftist outrage over Kyle Rittenhouse – A bunch of convicted criminals and pedophiles (typical leftists) chase down Rittenhouse carrying weapons with the intent to kill him. He defends himself and kills them instead. Leftists then rant for months about how he is a racist and a fascist and everything evil under the sun; but really, they were furious that he stepped outside of the rules they think conservatives are supposed to follow. Leftists have no rules (or honor), but conservatives do, and leftists think that gives them an edge. And that’s what really terrifies you, isn’t it? That one day, we’ll stop following our own rules and we’ll put you down flat.
It’s not conservatives trying to start a war with Russia, it’s leftists and Neo-cons (who are also leftists). It wasn’t conservatives trying to pass legislation to build covid concentration camps, it was leftists. It wasn’t conservatives engaging in mass online censorship, it was companies run by leftists.
You are wrong on a lot of things, but probably the most egregious idiocy is your claim that “there are no leftists in power.” Leftists (socialists, communists, globalists and REAL fascists) are at the core of the problem in America and have been for decades. This is why useful idiots in groups like BLM and Antifa affiliates receive hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from the very banking elites you CLAIM to oppose – such as the elites in the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Open Society Foundation. Every woke leftist cause is widely supported by globalist think tanks, international corporations and governments. This is verifiable fact.
YOU ARE THE VILLAINS YOU THINK YOU ARE FIGHTING AGAINST. This is why you are dangerous and need to be dealt with permanently; you are too stupid to understand that your cause IS the cause of evil people and you are doing their dirty work for them. And, like evil people do, when your victims finally fight back against you after years of trespasses, you gaslight them – call them fascists and accuse them of being the bad guys. It’s a classic Marxist tactic. We are fed up with trying to do things diplomatically. We are tired of leftists expecting us to play by the rules while you play by none. We aren’t going to fight fair anymore. We are going to end you, you deserve it, and there’s nothing you and your collectivist friends can do about it.
Hey Brandon, great article, but even better response to Bob’s idiotic comment. And you’re right that he and other Leftists ultimately deserve death (and I hope they get it) because they are fighting for evil.
This is the most nonsensical disconnected-from-reality comment I think I’ve ever seen online. Bob, fascism, socialism, and communism all have only extremely minor differences and all result in misery, death, and hell on earth and deserve to be defeated permanently with society finally learning its lesson to not fall for these obvious totalitarian scams and finally rejecting political slavery forever.
Holy moly children!
Bob-Gaslighter could teach even Alinsky a lesson in gaslighting and ad hominem attacks.
What if Gaslighter-Alinsky is the one projecting HIS position onto Brandon?! And so the gaslighting “projection-logic” goes round and round, never reaching the facts or the truth.
What if? I hope that is a rhetorical question. The question of how to secure the republic from the radical democrat/socialist/communist left has only two answers. The nonviolent one is deportation, and well you know the other one…you know, the one reserved for most traitors.
Bravo Brandon! Thank you for speaking truth. We ARE tired of leftist, totally fed up actually. This country, indeed the world, needs brave and dangerous men to stand up against this evil. What makes us dangerous? The fact that we value the cold, hard truth and we are no longer willing to compromise it. We see, hear, speak, comprehend and know intimately this truth. We are unstoppable and our success is inevitable. Thank you for this breath of fresh air. There are more of us than we have been led to believe and we will do whatever it takes to eradicate these ideas from our country(s).
You mention deportation as a solution, but many if not most if the prospective deportees are natural born US citizens. To what destination would you deport them and under what law?
The nearest Sanctuary City?
The applicable law would of course be Family Law. The sanctity of marriage is ordained, but when a relationship has deteriorated to the point of physical danger to the spouses, a divorce is needed to avoid a tragedy. Not to mention the negative effects on children trapped in a fully broken marriage where the spouses have diametrically opposed moral compasses.
Ofcourse conservatives must be willing to take what they give – conservatives will need to move out of liberal houses just like liberals will need to move out of conservative houses.
Unfortunately it seems the divorce might be acrimonious, since “certain” spouses want the house, the car, the alimony, the children – AND they do not want to let the other spouse leave.
Most have duel citizenship.
This is a great idea, and probably the best solution. The devil is in the details. Parasites feed off of the productive members of society. Make it impossible to do so and they might move on to another host. I personally believe we are past the point of any peaceful political solutions.
Rounding up all those who desire to overthrow America is something I’ve been saying for many years. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one.
Seems to me that the very Bill of Rights freedoms that we seek to defend are the laws, paradoxically, that prevent us from such defense. In many cases, for example violent and destructive riots, laws exist against our foes but a captured Justice branch won’t enforce them. In that case, as with our southern border, we need to remove those who won’t enforce existing laws and replace them with those who will. Ultimately, that means replacing Deep State puppets at the highest levels of government with those who support freedom and liberty as embodied in the Bill of Rights. Can that be done nonviolently?
“Woke acolytes and their elitist masters are not pursuing activism, they are pursuing war. It’s a 4th Generation war using tactics of treachery, subterfuge and psychological manipulation, but it is a war all the same.”
I fully agree with that.
They know they will be defeated if they engage in direct warfare. We know it; they know it.
That’s why they like 4th generation or hybrid wars.
…
P.S:
The teachings of italian Niccolò Machiavelli (cf “The Prince”, 1513) and chinese Sun Tzu (cf “The Art of War”) are more relevant than ever.
Leftists view this situation exactly opposite. They already fully intend to eventually get rid of everyone who opposes them.
So basically it becomes a question of who gets rid of who first. If believers in liberty won’t do it, they’ll be the ones removed in one way or another.
Brandon “let’s criminalize abortion” Smith flaunts his love for big government once again (only omnipotent government could carry out the actions he wishes). I wish he’d just admit he hates freedom rather than pretending otherwise some of the time.
I never said big government was necessary or desirable, in fact I said the opposite. Please learn how to read. Also, if you are going to declare war on me and mine, if you are going to seek the destruction of my culture and my freedoms, then no, you don’t get freedom. I will make sure you lose everything.
Aaand there is the Alinsky redirection to a “controversial” topic not related to the topic at hand. Followed by the gaslight-twist for dessert.
I wonder how much these henchmen are paid per post…
It is worn out. I wonder how long it will take for their bosses to realize they are wasting “their” money. Perhaps those bosses just spend the minimum to have some feeble effort to show to their bosses in turn. I wonder if they realize that they may not be considered useful one day.
I agree. The woke left needs to be stopped ASAP.
Dagnabbit if that wasn’t an astute, stellar piece – encapsulating my thoughts exactly & giving words to my own recent actions! Many thanks…
