Highlighted Quotes That Caught my Attention At The Moment

In Which the much waited DLC for Victoria 3 comes out!

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Thursday! How are you and how was your week so far? How is the weather? As for me, I cannot deny it was a week with a great event, new DLC for Victoria 3 being released. The game, that I haven't touched much since May, was quickly revived by this new content. More on that, further on the this blog entry. I am overall okay, some ups and downs, I suppose it happens. At least I managed to sleep more reasonably Wednesday night, it has been rare for me to rest as much when I am supposed to do it, so that is a good achievement! The weather has been pleasant as well, cheers to that, I love Winter! How June is going by fast, at this point. Soon, it will be over. I already should plan on my Wrap up post of the month, so we can start July in a good way... one month closer to my birthday. I still hope I can switch phones, somehow, but financial troubles still haunt me. I did spend more in June than I was expecting, way more than I should, mu

In which I say once again: Happy July 4th. And there is a lot I don’t know

Good morning to you, dear friend, reader of this post, and happy Tuesday. I come today with a post to celebrate 4th of July, one that I had in mind for a while. But, a conversation with my excellent friend Tibor made me rethink what I'd write, this is the final result. 



There is a lot I don’t know. I feel ashamed of myself for having the illusion sometimes I know more than I actually do. When I write, in special, I seem more confident than what I am in fact. There is a lot I don't know about. I wrote a post on my Instagram about July the 4th, a day in which my american friends celebrate independence. He corrected what I wrote there. We are both royalists with no taste for republics and much preference for the natural order of monarchies. And I in fact was a bit harsher on king George the Third as I would have preferred to have been. He was no tyrant, many faults that the colonists complained about, were the doings of the bickerings of parliamentary life. Such is the evil of politics. I rewrote parts of it with the new knowledge he provided me, but I still feel bad for falling into propaganda. Same goes with Brazil I suppose. Our monarchy was beautiful and the evil republic agitators took it away from us, it was such a monstrous deed that they had to rewrite a whole fake story, create a whole artifical mythos, to replace what they wanted gone. The ones pushing for a collectivist agenda are to be feared, and even combated. I was going to say those on the left, but I clearly can see many of the right wingers also have agendas I don't agree with, even am against. Such as protecting national industry, for example... This is why I like much of libertarianism, they break away from many dicotomies, at their best. At the end of the day, all I strive is for the truth. I do believe 4th of July is to be celebrated, but more as a grassroots movement to restore something, than as an awful evil revolution to break away from the past and into the "new". Certainly there were founding fathers that even cheered at the french revolution, and they deserve our question marks, but there are those whom saw goodness in the natural regime, so America was from the start born into those many different groups, no wonder took so long for the country to develop a national identity. It is beautiful, I believe, to have people being able to even question if they should've become independent from Britain in the first place. Today in my country, if you question publicly, as a figure of celebrity, the "sacred institutions of democracy", you can end up in jail. Oh, how much I hate and spit on the face of this "sacred democracy", that is taking us away from what we want, and throwing us at the guillotine of Venezuela. The left is to blame, but also, EVEN MORE SO, the right. Why? Because they were oportunistic, they were not having the values of Mrs. Thatcher in mind, for example. They were corrupt and filthy. The left is worse? Oh, for sure, but I'm not on the left. I ought to denounce my colleagues more vigorously than my enemies. There is a lot I don't know, and yet, recognizing all that was said, I think July the fourth deserve a celebration. The brave american people deserve our awe and praise for all that liberty allowed them to achieve, in the past. Today, as the country descends into the tyranny worthy of a latin america irrelevant country, much to my melancholy, we pray to God, that save the country while it is time. Throw away the evils of socialism once and for all. Let them burn, burn on the fields of fire, as Mrs. Rand would have prefered as well, I reckon. What else is there to be said?
