       met that challenge. She gained a title through her husband, used
       it to preach the new faith of Black Lives Matter, and has
       boundless ambition. A “woke monarchy,” or at least a “woke
       nobility,” is more likely than European aristocrats rising to
       defend their bloodlines.

       The future will belong to either us or rightists. False Leftism
       will not last. Of course I disagree with how our enemies
       characterize us:

       > Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is a harbinger. It’s the
       aristocracy of victims, in which the most emotionally weak have
       the greatest claim to power
       --- End Quote ---
       Fundamentally, we are all victims of initiated violence just by
       being born without our consent. But not all victims are willing
       to admit this. It is those who deny being victims who are
       emotionally weaker than those who can at least accept the truth.
       And indeed, those who most deny being victims are the same ones
       who initiate the most additional violence on everyone else, thus
       making us their victims also! So who deserves power? Those who
       replicate the behaviour of their creator? Or those willing to
       defy the creator?
