    —“Alexander the great, when he finally caught up to Darius, found him murdered by his own bodyguards. Alexander was infuriated by this betrayal of his mortal but highly respected enemy. The bodyguards had hoped they would be spared by killing Darius. Alexander had them stripped naked and impaled, so goes the story. The moral? Traitors get the first bullet, even if it comes from the enemy’s gun.”—Zach Matto

  • Violence Is the Gold Standard

    —“Violence is the gold standard, the reserve that guarantees order. In actuality, it is better than a gold standard, because violence has universal value. Violence transcends the quirks of philosophy, religion, technology and culture. People say that music is a universal language, but a punch in the face hurts the same no matter what language you speak or what kind of music you prefer. If you are trapped in a room with me and I grab a pipe and gesture to strike you with it, no matter who you are, your monkey brain will immediately understand “or else what.” And thereby, a certain order is achieved.”—Jack Donovan

    (Christians ‘burned the books’ of the pagans) Jove’s Oak ( interpretatio romana for Donar ‘s Oak and therefore sometimes referred to as Thor’s Oak ) was a sacred tree of the Germanic pagans located in an unclear location around what is now the region of Hesse , Germany . According to the 8th century Vita Bonifatii auctore Willibaldi , the Anglo-Saxon missionary Saint Boniface and his retinue cut down the tree earlier the same century. Donar’s Oak – Wikipedia
