Why They Hate Our Heroes - Jupplandia

Recalling the mechanistic underpinnings of a contempt for greatness - 

• There was a very interesting post on my feed recently about the way the woke mainstream and the left hate heroes, about why they always try to destroy heroes from the past or people we might have good cause to celebrate today...
• Partly this rejection of heroes, this refusal to teach a heroic narrative about your nation and its most illustrious figures, is of course simply a way of undermining that nation, of expressing your contempt for it and its people.
• In the new morality, despising your own is a mark of sophistication and education. It is a key attitude to adopt if one wishes to be taken seriously by the current elite...

In contemporary champions who are worth admiring, and in the stories and heroes of the past, and in ourselves too. 

Recovering the sense of the heroic is not only a thing capable of lending us endurance when we seem to have no power, but a thing which is a power in its own right, a force to make us better and bolder defenders of the heritage and nations we cherish.
