>>510205104 (OP)It's about ethnic homogeneity and proper values and beliefs. Just as one example- the ancient, pre-Imperial era Romans were forged in fire but they also began as a tribe with the right stuff.
They started off as a very small monarchy, then republic, surrounded by enemies like the Samnites. That was the fire.
But they had the proper values- strong and deep patriarchal and hierarchal system embedded in racial homogeneity and a culture that emphasized pietas (duty and devotion), virtus (courage and excellence), and gravitas (seriousness and responsibility). They were very nationalistic and patriotic people with a firm belief in Roman identity and purpose. Those people had national and cultural vigor and strength and that produced great results.
They fought against odds and forged an Empire.
That is what's meant by 'strong men'. Any nation that has this kind of internal structure will succeed.
A nation, on the other hand, that is effeminized, balkanized through racial and cultural mixing, and controlled by others (the chosen tiny hats) will recede into decay and self-destruction.
That is what's happening to us right now.
