I've always attributed his loss to a head injury.
Hahaha!
Nice one, Dave! I dig it......love you, brother....
Indeed, there was that one time with a Jersey bull...I ended up with a cracked skull and a jaw broken in two places, but he ended up as a turd.
Seriously - I am indeed suffering the effects today of multiple concussions earned in the past, mostly from playing rugby and being a bit of a wild one as a youngster, so you are partway correct probably.
There is also what I was told was combat fatigue; whatever that is.
So what changed?
What happened to WallaceHartley?
I realised the left had gone way, way too far left around 2017/2018 and had left me somewhere in what is today the common sense, non-radical, non-rascist, non-homophobe centre-right.
You guys simply went too far, man!
It's a thing with the left - establishing boundaries.
We know where the boundaries on the right are - Hitler?
But to the left? Impossible to establish because if I say 'yeh, that's too far' I am accused and summarily tried for rascism, homophobia, Islamaphobia, tranny-phobia, bigotry, Nazism (go figure), white supremacy...pick a perjorative that fits - and the result is yet another hundred million dead in the name of yet another revolution.
The leftward slide has no boundaries....
Also - sure, watching what took 300 years to build in South Africa be destroyed in 30 years by DEI, cadre deployment, Socialism and central planning resulting in even worse conditions for the majority of the population than ever existed under apartheid, all while the latter-day deficencies, failures and corruption be blamed on guess what - white people and the patriarchy blahblahblah - led me to clearly see that Socialism and its big brother Communism are crap and can't and don't work - never have - and shaped my stance today from which I try to warn my friends here that the path they are avidly pursuing will lead them to a place I am certain they have neither the intestinal nor testicular fortitude to thrive and prosper in.
The violence I experienced and witnessed was not a purely South African thing, but just the usual fruit of any Socialist/Communist revolution staged anywhere...and also an African thing.
It has an effect for sure - I can kill as easily as I can scratch my armpit if needed, but I would rather not.
So though it may not seem like it, I am actually coming from a good place, because I recognise that what the left in your country are pushing is the gateway drug to what happened in my country.
The Rainbow Nation (Hope and Change) became a shithole under the corrupt, incompetent, wannabe Comtards.
And brother Xi is buddying up as well.
And there you are!
I have said it before - the question is not if you have the will to protect your own shitpile, but whether or not you have what it takes to steal from your neighbours shitpile...because you have to turn in a certain weight of shit every year as fertiliser in the most failed of commie crapholes - there is no mercy of you don't - but there is not enough food for your family to create the required amount of shit - so you have to steal your neighbours shit whilst he tries to steal from your pile of shit.....see North Korea.
Way to go!
Viva!
In South Africa we have had an expression for years - a reply given when casually asked how things are going - 'there is no shit here because there is no food here'.
It's...sarcasm?, Irony?,.....whatever.
When I came back here as WallaceHartley after a few years away, somewhere I stated my position on something; and received the now-common super-nasty lefty pile-on and grinddown as a welcome back - so there you have it!
I haven't changed much - but y'all sure did!
Open discourse and sharing of opinions and ideas? No - let's have a struggle session!
The aggro started from you guys - not all, but....you know who you are, and one or two of you can go crap in your hat - but for the rest, it's OK, in the lefty world you have to follow the narrative and the party line - I understand.
When your friend says something the masses won't like you have to apologise on his behalf, lest you both get into a struggle-session and end up necklaced!
It takes guts to stand up for what you believe to be true.
The greatest virtue is courage because it is upon courage that all the other virtues rest.
And it can be hard to be brave sometimes because you end up losing your friends, your credibility, the easy life.
Now, if you really want it, the aggro, I am happy to oblige and dish it out in dollops but.... what would the point of that be?
Behind a keyboard?
That's fuckall.
That's being a wanker.
it's silly and unproductive.
So, I can forgive, and frequently do, and am thus still trying to nudge youze to redirect your efforts in a direction with a more, in my opinion, favourable outcome.
As are most of the right and centre-right in your country today. See Erika Kirk at yesterdays Turning Point event in Arizona.
I see less rascism at a tailgate barbecue with a bunch of rednecks in Texas than from the extreme left at a Tantric energy healing workshop in LA.
Less intolerance, less crazy antagonism towards violent action, less desire to burn it all down.
Because in Texas I see none of that. I just see zero-quit, treat women properly, your word is your bond, be polite, be cool, be kind......be tolerant.
So that's what happened to WallaceHartley - who happened to be a bandleader who scored a plum gig on the Titanic, and kept on playing tunes as she went beneath the waves.
'Band! Play on!'
Be cool everyone - it's all gonna be OK!
