On this crap, made up nonsense, “feel-bad-about-yourself,” holiday called Indigenous Peoples’ Day (one day removed), I would just like to remind you how good you can choose to feel.
This is how miserable some people are: They want you to feel bad about yourself for a thing that is literally the most exciting thing you can be happy about — your life and very existence.
Life is not perfect.
But your genes won the race.
Your genes won the race.
The sperm cell that you came from was blessed enough to be able to be the one to help bring you into existence.
And you know what?
That’s pretty awesome.
And you know what else?
You got to be born in this era.
That too is pretty awesome.
And you got to live in a technologically developed, wealthy, and Christian influenced America. There is another 98.13% of the world’s landmass that you could have been born onto or otherwise come to call home. This is where you ended up.
Christian influence has pluses and minuses, but helped to bring about free markets, an end to slavery, and lots of other great stuff.
There were some nice things about the distant past, but the truth is, it mostly sucked.
There were some nice things about long lost cultures, but the truth is, they mostly sucked.
But even if they didn’t suck, the supplanted cultures are now gone.
Throughout history, one group of humans has supplanted another group of humans. That is true in all inhabited places on the globe.
That is simply the norm.
Yesterday was Columbus Day. It is a celebration of a pioneering spirit, of exploration, of advancement over the unknown, of achievement.
And you know what, as much as some people want to cause you to feel guilty because Christian leaders of the past weren’t perfect, it was a lot better than things were.
Yup -- they want you to feel bad because someone who you never met, who lived hundreds of years ago, behaved imperfectly.
NEWSFLASH — PEOPLE AREN’T PERFECT.
If you’ve spent about four minutes or more in church at all in life, you realize people mess up.
And God forgives.
Were there bad dudes in history?
Yeah.
But you know what, I sure am happy that my bad dudes beat their bad dudes.
Do you know why?
Because having lived in other parts of the world, traveled the world, fallen in love with a number of cultures enough to know several languages, I have to say, there is not and has never been a country on this planet as amazing as the USA.
Because I am grateful for that, I am grateful for Christopher Columbus finding the new world, and all the other people who did the same.
Do you know who I am not grateful for?
The so-called indigenous people who were said to be here first.
Indigenous, after all, is just another word for the latest occupier. It is not like there was a period of one group of righteous people through all periods of history and then another group of people called Europeans showed up and that was it. Though a DNA test would not likely show any American Indian blood in me, I am Native American. Though all my ancestors that I know of for many generations come from Europe, I am not indigenous. I am native to the Americas. That is how being indigenous works. I have supplanted another in the space I occupy and I am now indigenous, just as the people who Columbus found living in the Americas had done to those who came before them.
When was the last time you met a Morlach, a Vend, a Yotvingian, a Scythian, a Sarmatian, a Dacian, a Thracian, an Illyrian, a Gabrantovice, a Hillevione, or a Visigoth?
You haven’t.
They were all killed or absorbed.
Those are names of extinct European tribes.
There was even a group called the Alans.
Also all killed or absorbed.
Shall I forever mourn their passing since our names transliterated into English look and sound alike?
These listed tribes were once influential cultures that are not remembered today and are barely pronounceable to the few who stumble upon their traces in history.
The word indigenous when applied to a human is idiotic. Humans customs, languages, traditions, and cultures are constantly shifting.
Out with the old, in with the new.
That includes the contemporary American culture of which I am a part. It has a limited period for which it can exist. It has an expiration date.
People who want to see their culture outlast the odds, need to do a lot more than build a border wall.
Building a border wall is simply not enough to save a culture.
And the cultures that can not convince its offspring that its values are worth defending, is a culture soon to be extinct.
Though it is merely a sub-culture, I suspect it won’t be long before no one will know what a libtard is.
Why? Because they are slowly committing suicide. Libtards are slowly committing suicide.
But you know what? So is all American culture as we know it slowly committing suicide.
You must fight for your values, and you must win for your values.
I look forward to being seen as a founding member of the cultural supplanters who displace the contemporary indigenous American culture.
That’s where I want to fit in history.
I don’t know what contemporary American culture will one day be known as, and I don’t know what the supplanter culture will be known as, but I know that I want to be one of the founding supplanters.
I’m coming for your, America.
You think politics and war is bad.
You ain’t seen nothing.
Culture is what really matters.
Two months ago, I advocated for a legal course that I have gotten a lot of good mileage out of, "How to Win in Court without a Lawyer."
This week, I will be advocating for the same.
Sign up for the course and send me a receipt before Saturday 11:59pm to allan@realstevo.com, and I will invite you to participate in our weekly discussions and to get me for a strategy conversation about any legal matter you have for the next 3 months.
I will be present to debate strategy with you.
If you have plans to be in court, I would take me up on this offer. If you don’t, I would ignore it.
This lawyer who made the course, Fred Graves, has the simplest system I’ve ever encountered for describing the legal system and how to win in it without a lawyer.
Tap here to make that happen

Good stuff, Allan!
Columbus wasn't his name and he probably never got to North America,
