There's a fine line between respecting one's elders and repeating their mistakes.

People today are more stoic whilst observing the murder of children than they are discussing the solutions.

To gaze upon, the path ahead;
One will feel so small.
But look unto, the past instead;
One feels oh so tall.
Progressive guise, has reaped demise;
Of hope, and thus, our might.
Asleep, we live, within disguise;
Our perfect shade of white.

Very kind and very much appreciated, but we have different ideas for my future. 🤝

To celebrate WW1/WW2 is to celebrate the horrific death and annihilation of our ancestors & our future. Our youth, across Europe, committed acts that ruined many a life in causing many a death.

Interviewer: "Was it all worth it?"
Veteran: "No... Never would I volunteer again"

Has anyone noticed the very best views in #England are the ones without a trace of modernity? Preservation is a skill. Pointless progressivism is a talentless crime. #Rochester, #Kent.
