CHAD CROWLEY: A people cannot survive if they are told to be ashamed of their own history, to forget who they are, and to accept that their future belongs to others.

Truth is not determined by consensus. If everyone believes a lie, it remains a lie.

The more a society forces its people to ignore the obvious, the more fragile that society becomes. A people cannot survive if they are told to be ashamed of their own history, to forget who they are, and to accept that their future belongs to others.
Once, it was understood that a man took pride in where he came from. He honored the struggles of those before him, valued the traditions that shaped him, and sought to build upon that inheritance. He admired what was foreign, but never at the expense of his own identity. Today, such instincts are condemned. To speak of heritage, of belonging, is now forbidden. The demand is not merely to accept change, but to celebrate dissolution. No civilization has ever thrived by severing itself from its past. No people have ever endured by embracing weakness as virtue. A society that tells its sons they have no right to exist, that they must surrender all that is theirs, is not a society at all—it is a hospice. The world does not honor those who surrender what is theirs; it replaces them. History is full of those who forgot this truth, who welcomed their own erasure as a moral duty. Their names are lost, their lands renamed, their bloodlines broken. The future did not pity them; it belonged to those who endured, who fought, who remembered. The strong inherit the earth. The forgotten inherit nothing. Remember who you are.
