How to Stop Fighting and Start Winning

Recently, I described a woman in her mid-thirties as a single, childless millennial.

I was told that description was mean and insulting.

If someone were to describe me as a single, middle-aged mother, I would not be insulted. Those are just the facts and I’m not offended by them.

I didn’t even mention the preferred pronouns, or the fact that she couldn’t take care of a kitten for more than 24 hours before giving it back or that her life is a picture perfect example of that ME generation of feminists - woke, self-centered and tragically unfulfilled. The single life might be fun in your twenties, but eventually the search for purpose includes meaningful relationships and the personal sacrifices that come with caring about people besides yourself.

If a factual description of who you are is insulting, take some advice from Walt Whitman.

Dismiss that which insults your soul.

Make some better choices so that you can take pride in who you are and what you’ve done with your life. And if you don’t want to make any changes, at least own who you are and stop being offended when people make accurate observations.

When you know who you are and are proud of the life choices you’ve made and are happy with the life you’re living, there’s nothing anyone can say to make you feel bad about yourself, hurt your feelings, or feel judged, insulted or offended.

If you’re honest with yourself and people say something true about you that’s meant as a criticism or accusation of some character flaw, you can agree with them instead of taking offense or getting defensive.

And if they say untrue things about you, that just speaks to how little they really know you or how desperate they are to feel better about themselves by putting you down.

Which brings me to the inspiration for this blog: the backlash of criticism regarding Matt Walsh’s description of a man wearing woman face.

Matt has a very specific perspective that’s predicated on his identity as a Christian, a conservative, a masculine man, a devoted husband and a father of six, who values marriage and family, the most importantly, the truth. He has some glaringly obvious blind spots. But because I understand men and where he’s coming from, I get it. However, as a woman with my own interesting pov, I don’t always agree.

Last week, Matt made some comments and used some colorful adjectives to describe a man who claims he’s so hot he could steal husbands. WTF? Pretty sure women’s husbands don’t like dick. That’s not homophobic or transphobic. That’s an accurate statement. For independent research, ask any man married to a woman.

While they agreed with Matt’s statements or at least sentiments, conservatives also criticized Matt for making personal attacks, resorting to name calling and being “not classy”, unnecessarily mean and insulting. Matt’s defense was that he was being truthful about this appropriation of womanhood and the normalization of men identifying as women in our “end times” culture.

You are under no obligation to be nice to those on the naughty list.

After years of being nice and polite, conservatives are fed up enough to finally start fighting back. They’ve taken on the responsibility of winning the culture. And they’re going about it with words, memes and in this case, “mean” comments, as their weapons.

This idea that conservatives can change hearts and minds, and that they can do it with logic and legislation, is ridiculous. Spouting facts and stating the obvious is not going to deprogram the mind controlled, the brainwashed, the state indoctrinated, the woke, the delusional and the certifiably insane, mentally ill populace. While passing laws against the genital mutilation of children may provide some protection in America, nothing can stop parents from getting these surgeries performed in other countries. And banning abortion is not going to force women to take personal responsibility for their fertility. Where there’s a will, there’s a way to murder their unborn children.

And honestly, all this culture war “talk” is too little too late. The irreversible damage to the lives of three generations of people has already been done. The lost souls who’ve lost their minds and destroyed their lives are a lost cause.

Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one. ~ Charles Mackay

What we need is less talk and more walk. Conservatives need to focus on walking their talk. Let their life be a living embodiment of what they value. Role model what it is to be truly virtuous, moral and ethical.

And walk away from all of the corrupted systems. Pull the children out of the public schools. Stop eating the toxic foods and taking the poisons drugs. Consent no more to being governed by the career criminals. Refuse to support the woke and evil corporations.

Create alternatives to all the things that insult your soul. And live without them until you do.

I take issue with Matt’s assertion that an autogynephilic guy in a dress is our enemy. He might have millions of followers for being an attention seeking fame whore who is capitalizing on claiming gender dysphoria for money. But, without the CCP surveillance app, who would he be? Just a miserable guy with a face lift, hair extensions and a manicure who couldn’t get his dopamine hit with his daily “girlhood” updates.

All that popularity is instantly erased once we stop giving our attention to these fake people and end our online parasocial relationships with them. The way you eliminate your cultural “enemies” is by withdrawing all of your energy from them. If everyone unfollows and stops liking, sharing, commenting and making videos about all this nonsense it will no longer be worth it for them to post anymore. People like that will have to do something else with their life besides making fun of the stereotypes of women. But it starts with us.

I agree that the globalists, the state, the corporations, the entertainment industry, academia and the woke folk are after our children. They have been for generations. That’s why we are where we are today. But it’s not because the powerful are so evil or because the evil are so powerful. It’s because stupid, lazy and trusting parents let people with evil agendas have their way with their precious children.

Here’s an idea: don’t give your “enemies” your children to indoctrinate, poison, traumatize and groom. Raise your children yourself. Educate them yourself. Teach them the truth. Train them up in the way they should go. Instill in them good values. Make sure they know how to read and study so they can learn anything they’re interested in researching or developing an expertise in and mastering. Give them opportunities to learn life skills and a trade. Feed them real food. Don’t cut off their body parts or inject them with poisons. Don’t give them a phone or let them be on any social media platforms. Let them play outside in nature. Spend time talking with them every day.

Protect your children. Once you’ve stopped participating in the control systems, nothing happens to your children without your consent.

The system requires your participation to exist. And fighting the system is participation.

It all ends as soon as YOU stop. Stop consenting. Stop participating in your own demise.

Opt out. And live without until you can create alternatives for yourself.

Live your life in the real world, not online.

Dara Eden is a writer and wisdom keepHER. The name, Dara, means “pearl of wisdom”. Pearls are formed when a microscopic irritant, like a grain of sand, embeds itself within the soft tissue of a shelled mollusk. To protect itself, the oyster or clam covers the invading gritty particle with concentric layers of iridescent crystalline calcium to form treasures, pearls of great beauty and worth. Gifts of the sea, pearls are the oldest known gem and the only gem that does not need to be cut, shaped or polished. Pearls are associated with elegance and luxury and are a symbol of mystery and purity. Pearls represent priceless knowledge, the rare wisdom that begins as a tiny, random, common irritant.
