The Stockdale Paradox

“You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end – which you can never afford to lose – with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.”

Admiral James Stockdale, USN

Quietism is a heresy, folks. All of this pathological refusal to acknowledge observable reality and then painting it as some sort of faux-virtue has got to stop. This effeminate, female-driven movement to deny that truth is knowable or that anything can be done to correct error or fight evil, driven from a womanish desire to avoid pain, suffering or sacrifice, will be the death of us if not unceremoniously ejected from rational discourse and the zeitgeist in general. -Alpha Bravo
