We start on a very strong message about how we should venerate our ancestors but work for our children: “Your ancestors did not sweat,bleed and die in the name of a multicultural, egalitarian nation. They built homes for their children to live in, they built communities for their people to thrive in, they built nations for their people to survive in. They slaved for a better future for their people, and now other peoples shake their fists and point their fingers, reprimanding us for living better lives, wealthier lives in wealthier countries. This wealth and prosperity was paid for in the sweat and blood of your ancestors. Our present comfortable, privileged and prosperous life was gifted to us by our forebears, with the belief that we would maintain, cherish and even expand upon their work, so that one day our own children can enjoy the rewards of our labour.”
And he talks of the concept of a soldier’s fight: “The ideal of a heroic war, without loss, without failure, without some great setback, is idealistic and downright impossible. Even at Vienna in 1683 we Europeans still lost over fourteen thousand good men. That was during a triumphant VICTORY.”
Last bit for today: he talks of a double standard which is so intense, all the way. But what does it mean? I’ll tell you what it means: “If you were to kill sixty armed invaders having shown the will and the intent to bring harm to your nation and people, you would be hailed a hero, given your nations highest civilian honours, paraded before the media and the adoring public. But kill sixty unarmed invaders having shown the will and the intent to bring harm to your nation and people, and you will be considered a monster, dragged through the streets, ridiculed, attacked,your character assassinated in every way it can be and finally tried in court and imprisoned for the rest of your life.” But the real kicker, according to him, is that the unarmed invader is far more dangerous to our people than the armed invader, hence the timing of the first shots on March 15 when they were praying and not slaying.
