Once again, we celebrate San Jacinto Day
Historical events like the Civil War/War Between The States or the conquest of the American Southwest can continue to create rancor not for years, but for
hundreds of years. That s why I was surprised to see, searching Google News, that there are none of the kinds of protest marches on San Jacinto Day that you see on Columbus Day.
San Jacinto Day (April 21) is the anniversary of the final victory of the Texas Revolution, in which Texas won its independence from Mexico. (The Mexicans are still not happy.) One of the earliest articles we published on VDARE.com, April 20, 2001, was
Your Obedience Matters, Because Your Obedience Leads To More Tyranny
It’s not 1959. It’s not 1979. It’s not 2019.
Your every action matters in a way that it couldn’t have during any of those times whether you were a pauper or a billionaire, a parent at home or a celebrity on the red carpet now, your individual actions mean so much more than they did then.
We are in that kind of moment. Some call them “fourth turnings” after the work on generational theory by William Strauss and Neil Howe. A fourth turning is when crisis brings about rebirth. It’s even more significant than that though. A new epoch is being brought into existence and an epic battle is being waged. Whether you like it or not, whether you recognize it or not, you are involved.
