As an adult, one of the things that fascinate me is self-sufficiency: the idea that you can buy a solar power system, install it, and use your own power -- without getting a bill in the mail every month, many times feeling like a victim of modern day suburban subjugation.

I'm still a good little obedient peasant, but I hope one day I can rely more on well water/rain catchment system, solar power, and propane.

Getting 70% of your electrical usage from your own solar power system has to be a good feeling.

I wish it were different, but the language they spoke back then was conquest, and every nation and ethnicity spoke that language, and embraced it. And they weren't just unaliving people. They were having their way with the women and unaliving the male children. The Arabs did this. The Persians did this. The Europeans did this. The Asians did this. Everyone.

There's a reason why 0.5% of the male global population today has Genghis Khan's DNA.

I'm not white, but it boggles my mind how modern society has been so radicalized and brainwashed that a particular segment of our population actually thinks white people are the only people in history that have done this.

But yeah, the French...
