Fighting The Reins
by Billy Roper
4 June 2004
My name is Billy Roper, and I endorse this message...
Last Sunday I was horseback-riding through some woods, enjoying the rare moment
of solitude, when the horse's behavior reminded me of something... Pull the reins to the left, she veers to the left. Pull the reins to the right, she leads to the right. Pull the reins back, she slows down. Nudge her with your heels, she speeds up. The more firmly you control her, the more abruptly and extremely she reacts. If she resents having to be walking through the woods, instead of being back at the barn eating sweet feed, and wants to go under a tree to drag me under the branches, I have to tell her "no" by redirecting her with the reins and my control. Otherwise, I get knocked off. If she senses that I can't or won't tell her "no," that I can't control her, then she will control me, and before long I'll have a runaway horse, and be bucked off into the dirt.
Alexander the Great said of the Persians that they would always be slaves,
because they didn't know how to say "No!" A woman who never says "Stop!" will
always be the object of rapine. A people who do not eventually stand up and
say "Enough!" to their oppressors will never regain control of their own
destiny. It's amazing to me that White Americans are so soft and weak and
selfish, that they are more concerned about how big their tv sets are and how
many channels they have, than whether their children will grow up in a third
world cesspool where the people who built this country have become a minority.
We, the relatively few racially conscious Whites who aren't afraid to use the
names our fathers gave us or to show our faces in public; we, the aboveground
resistance, are just too stubborn to give up. We keep fighting the reins, and
trying to spit the bit out of our mouths. We're not deterred by relatively
small turnouts at demonstrations protesting the forced integration of American
public schools, while thousands show up to demonstrate for the right to abort
their children, or to sodomize each other legally, or just to watch a football
game. It doesn't frustrate us that White Revolution membership barely breaks
three digits, while there are ten thousand dues-paying members of the Flat
Earth Society in North America. It doesn't depress us too much, that White
people spend money on beer and cigarettes and luxury gadgets, but can't
contribute funds to the movement. Yes, there are many people in the movement
who have serious psychological issues, to the point where they take
psychotropic medication in order to be able to function, or who have been
legally declared, or declared themselves, mentally unstable or incompetent.
There are some who need a bath, and some who are alcoholics, and some who use
drugs, or who are thieves or sexual deviants. Some of them, I wouldn't want in
my house, or around my wife and family, to be sure. We've all seen them, and
I'm not about to pretend that those misanthropic, congenital losers do not
exist. They certainly do. All fringe political movements attract them.
Sometimes it's because they need something to join, or a sense of belonging, to
be a part of a group, and have a social network. Sometimes, they need a hobby.
More generally, it's because happy and well-adjusted people do NOT make good
revolutionaries, as I've said before. Those who have been successful within
the status quo are either content with it, or at minimum don't want to see
normality upset. So, they're not going to contribute to, and certainly not
going to join or be directly involved in, any effort to buck off their rider.
After all, they're well fed, and who knows what might happen if they don't
follow the reins? They're going to have to be ridden to a frothy sweat, and
beaten and whipped bloody, before they will ever try to fight the reins.
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate
intensity"...Some of our best people, people with real talent, real intelligence, and real ability, become burned out and quit the movement in frustration because of all the freaks and deviants they see in it. It is grinding, and requires a kind of wry fatalism to endure for more than a few years, especially when one is intensely, profoundly involved with the struggle on a daily basis. In a nutshell, what must keep one going, is this:
The freaks and deviants don't matter. It doesn't matter how many people around
you turn informant, or drop out. It doesn't matter that you really can't trust
anyone, because everything that you say, in private conversations, on the
phone, on the internet, in a letter, wherever, may eventually be played back or
read to you in court. It doesn't matter that you're blacklisted and consigned
to a life of poverty. It doesn't matter how many friends and family members
turn against you, how many girlfriends or wives abandon you, how many times
you're arrested, or how much time you spend in prison, or how many bullets they
put into you, eventually. What matters, all that matters, is that we are
right. Character and honor mean that we don't weigh the consequences of taking
a stand, we don't count heads to see which side has the most adherents, and we
don't ponder whether we will win or lose, before we choose a side. We do right,
and fear noone. And when we die, when we're lying there sucking in that one
last ragged breath and can't get another one, and things start to fade around
the edges, we will regret what we didn't do, a lot more than what we did. We
will wish that we had been more bold, more honest, more forthright. We will
wish that we had stood more often, and hesitated less. We will wish that we had
given more, and been more heroic, and more courageous, and not so conservative.
We will not wish so much for more life, but for a life more vibrantly lived.
Remember, friends, that we are right. Remember that nature and logic and the
truth are on our side, so it doesn't matter who is against us, or what the
costs are, because doing otherwise than standing up for the truth is simply
unconscionable. Fight the reins.
