The Stockdale Paradox

September 16, 2023, by Ann Barnhardt

“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.”

The Stockdale Paradox

Repeat it over and over till it sinks in.

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
