If you’ve been wondering about the logo, I’ll explain.
What is the ‘fifth Auxiliary’?
It is the embodiment of the “Fifth Auxiliary Right”, as described Sir William Blackstone.
“The natural right of resistance and self-preservation, when the sanctions of society and laws are found insufficient to restrain the violence of oppression.”
This right, described by Blackstone, is the progenitor of the Second Amendment.
The aim is to build a culture of warriors and philosophers, so posterity will inherit these traits. The ‘fifth Auxiliary’ is the mechanism to uphold and defend them.
You are the fifth auxiliary.

Added a "web video" stage to my TV distortion app, so you can get all your favorite mid 2000s webcam looks.
And i's not a "filter", it's an actual video codec applied in real time so it's extremely authentic.
And it works with all the other distortion types like composite video, VHS and CRT with precise control over everything.
That means you could dial in something as absurdly specific as "TV show ripped to Windows Media, then recorded onto VHS and played on a crappy old CRT TV"!

You will NEVER find meaning in rationalism, because meaning is the substance of experience, not merely its explanation.
A thousand pages on the psychology of love will never convey what a single well crafted story can make us feel and recognize.
Sacred truths are the same. They are better expressed through mythology and folklore. They can be experienced and felt more efficiently this way.
In many ways the myths and folk tales are more true, even in a literal sense, than our attempts to materialize and rationalize everything.
Sure the earth moves around the sun. I feel almost nothing.
The sun being chased across the sky by a giant wolf however…
Mythology is actually disclosing something about reality that our materialist descriptions fail to perceive.
So yes, take them literally because they are true.
They are a vessel for the very soul of the people that carried these stories for centuries. It is why I believe it is important to return to, or at least acknowledge the sacred spirit of one’s indigenous faith.

The tendency to label horrific things as fake or a conspiracy is the product of a few factors that reinforce each other.
First is optimism bias from a relatively sheltered life. A veneer of civilization keeps most people insulated from the reality of atrocity and institutional failure. It’s harder to believe something if we’ve never experienced anything similar.
Second is a conditioned response. Whether it was built by experience or by propaganda doesn’t change its predictability. When something terrible hits the timeline the dismissal is certain.
Third is the incentive for clicks. People understand what happened but shape the narrative anyway because doubt and outrage drive engagement and influence behaviors and opinions.
