I think that's a natural reaction to an order that's elitist and globalist coming to it's natural conclusion
One thing that's interesting though is that it is a nationalism in the sense of supporting the current Nations. You've got a lot of groups aiming specifically at dividing Nations, such as the Alberta and Texas separation movements.

"join the armed forces! Protect your country from invaders!"
Considering we're actually talking about and protecting the government from Invaders, it would really have to be on a case by case basis -- which government are you willing to fight to the death to defend your current government?

They might change their mind when they realize poilievre and the conservatices are probably going to sweep the next elections.
tbf, he probably went crazy from banging a prostitute and not from writing too much philosophy.
I think cyclists should be on the sidewalk and just be like "hey, you gotta share the sidewalk with the pedestrians and you gotta treat the road like a pedestrian would".
Being on the road with cars is scary as shit and I never wanted to do that.

It's not a competition because the common man's plate is always the one the rich and powerful will ask for sacrifices from.
We're living it right now, tent cities while we're told by the elites the economy is doing better than ever.

Everyone is all like "If X wins I'm moving to Canada" but to vote in Canada you need to present ID and you use a paper ballot.
Sometimes people ask why I never gamble. To pay for college I worked at a gas station, and I'd see people I knew were making minimum wage come in and spend hundreds of dollars on (government) lottery tickets. It was just "scan, nope. scan, nope. scan, nope" -- burning money but sometimes they'd get a free ticket.
The scariest thing isn't just that it's addictive, it's that the people who can the least afford to be burning money on it are the ones who think it might be their ticket to financial security.

Yeah, acetone and ABS is really interesting. They use acetone vapor to smooth out ABS prints in 3d printing. It doesn't affect other plastics though.
I wish instead of focusing on the common man's dinner plate we'd instead consider maybe ending the global empires. Much more carbon being burned hourly by militaries protecting megacorporate interests.
Pro tip: acetone nail polish remover is SSS tier for cleaning pipes. (It's paint stripper so you might have to worry about that, but nothing clears out tar like acetone)
The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash got an anime, which I'm really happy about because it's such a wholesome story. It has a really sad start because the MC is chased out of their village and nearly killed, but afterwards it's a nice story about perseverance and finding your niche in the world.
Although the first bit of the story is sad, it's the sort of book I'd want to read to kids.

Imagine being this disconnected from reality.
Motherfuckin tent cities all over the place "look how great the economy is doing!"

When my boy is old enough to play on the computer I want to hook something like a raspberry pi 400 up to the living room TV so not only does he have to figure out how to use it on his own, he has to do it while everyone is seeing what he's doing.
My nephew is a smart kid, and so I bought all the individual parts to build a computer, hook them all up to make sure that they were actually able to function, and then send him that along with install discs for Windows and Linux so if he wanted to be able to use his new computer he would have to figure out how to build it on his own and get it all configured and set up.
I did send him a video on YouTube showing him all the individual little things so that he wouldn't be completely lost, but my understanding is that it was a pretty big challenge for a young kid but he did figure it out. You can imagine that his computer skills are on a completely different level than most of the people his age.

My next book that I'm working on is basically a course on how to use the freebasic programming language, but the scaffolding of the book is going to be about the history of personal computing and all of the little things that you need to know about how computers actually work.
It is exactly as you say, a lot of kids are growing up constantly being praised for how good they are with computers, but in reality they're completely incompetent at computers and they're just good at Facebook or YouTubes app.

Over generations, I think people will have to figure out how to deal with the Internet and smart devices. I personally think the way every kid has a smartphone is the wrong way and I don't think kids should have such dangerous devices.
"We have reimagined the circus for modern audiences. We've removed everything except a man in a turtle neck reading poetry about how evil the west is and how we should all be penitent"
I know that's not what it is, I'm just joking around given what that phrase often portends.

Two chapters of the graysonian ethic deal with failure.
One is titled "failure is an option" and it talks about times I've failed in my life (including completely failing a grade in high school and flunking out of college once) and the lessons that can be taken from those failures. "Failure is an option" refers to the idea that unlike what people say, it's possible to fail, you aren't going to just get pushed along regardless of what you do. Flunking out of college proved that sometimes you have to look at failure and figure out how to change course. I moved on and after dramatically changing strategy I tried again and succeeded.
The other is titled "when you make a mistake" and it starts talking about a stupid mistake I made while writing the book -- I went swimming in a lake with my car keys in my pocket and they fell out never to be found again. It was the only set of car keys we owned so it was a huge problem but I had to follow a process of accepting the mistake, figuring out how to fix it, and figuring out how to make sure the same thing never happens again.
Failure is a really complicated thing. You definitely don't want to fail in your life, but it's going to happen -- I have met a few people who have never ever made a mistake -- they literally don't do anything, so it's easy not to make a mistake. That being said, although you don't want to just accept every failure as a good thing, often it can be beneficial. It's a feedback mechanism that lets you know you aren't necessarily going about things the right way.
Anyone who raises their kid in such a way that failure is not an option is setting them up for failure. Even outrageously successful people don't make every single choice exactly correctly.

It's really tough, because you need both.
On one hand, you do need to protect kids from the most brutal stuff out there and at first most things since you don't want to have them being wired up to insane degenerate stuff right from the womb. Brains wire themselves according to stimuli and if you allow really horrid stuff through all the time it'll wire their brains in horrid ways that arent conducive to a good and stable future.
On the other hand, someday your kids will be on their own and they'll be exposed to everything the world has to offer and if you just pretend it doesn't exist then they'll get immediate shock exposure to all of it the moment you're not there to put the blinders on, and that can have huge backlash implications as well. Look at the 21 year olds who never drank a drop of alcohol who go nuts once exposed without guard rails.
I think the key is to have a plan to slowly introduce the world in a measured and consistent way so kids have the opportunity to learn about the world but have appropriate guardrails at each stage of development ultimately culminating in the least restrictive guard rails so they're being trusted more and more leading up to the big day that they wont have any guard rails from you anymore.
