Roman emperor and stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius emphasized virtues grounded in reason, resilience, and ethical integrity, reflecting his contemplative and pragmatic approach to life. Foremost among these was the virtue of wisdom, which Aurelius saw as the discernment of the nature of the world and fluctuating human affairs.
Justice, another cardinal virtue he identified required a personal commitment to fairness and benevolence in all dealings. Courage, in Aurelius's view, transcended physical bravery, encompassing moral fortitude and the resilience to face life's adversities and uncertainties with equanimity.
Among his most valued, self-discipline was seen as crucial for maintaining personal integrity and focus, allowing one to resist transient desires and distractions, and align actions with rational principles.
Aurelius’ masterwork Meditations, a kind of personal diary with valuable guidance and wisdom for young men is given no placement in any public schooling curriculum today, which manifests only increasing rates of degeneracy and illiteracy at ever-increasing taxpayer expense.
Aurelius opens Book One with acknowledgments of gratitude and debt to his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Of his father’s lessons, he cites integrity and manliness. Of his grandfather—character and self-control. Of his great grandfather, he learned something more relevant today than ever before, proving some things never change: “To avoid the public schools, to hire good private teachers, and to accept the resulting costs of money well spent.”
Forget the state and its destructive enforcers of immorality. Forget international speculators working for the forces of global technocracy and its planned “woke” agenda being implemented at corporate board meetings and incentivized in HR departments. All collective resistance and revolution starts with individuals and the choices they make for their lives and the lives of their families.https://thegoodcitizen.live/p/androgynopolis
"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”
The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.
The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...
Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.
Canada’s economy is stalling badly.
We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.
Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.
And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.
Why does GDP matter?
Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.
The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.
The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:
Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
