00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,600
You are listening to No PC Allowed, aka No Political Correctness Allowed, and I am Mack Iverson.

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,840
Ships are safe in port, but that's not what ships are for.

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,940
Vikings believed in reaching out and getting exactly what they wanted.

4
00:00:13,940 --> 00:00:22,980
Granted, they were brutal warriors, but when they weren't raiding, they were trading and farming in the northern frontier between the 9th and 11th centuries.

5
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:27,440
They did both. They were offensive aggressors and settled farmers with families.

6
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:34,040
Modern-day Americans as well don't need to settle for an either-or mentality when it comes to our lifestyles.

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:40,700
We too can have it all. This means we must take action to create a healthy and vibrant freedom-loving America.

8
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:45,300
By contrast, what do you think of when you envision an American conservative activist?

9
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:51,540
Do you see an octogenarian with tea bags hanging down a straw hat and holding a Make America Great Again poster?

10
00:00:51,540 --> 00:00:55,740
To me, it's very sad that conservatives can be so easily typecast.

11
00:00:55,740 --> 00:01:03,100
Turning Point USA and the Walkaway Movement are geared more towards younger activists, but there is still a gulf between young and old, it seems.

12
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:08,300
Working parents don't have the time to become involved, and they are some of the most ignorant Americans.

13
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:12,440
They sponge up what's around them. They were indoctrinated by left-wing schools and college,

14
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:21,600
and busy parents tend to associate with others who are also too busy to open a book or spend critical time alone contemplating their role in society.

15
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,440
Today, we're talking about freeing your inner Viking. Why a Viking?

16
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:32,240
Vikings to me represent vicious, offensive aggressors who simply don't have time to mess around.

17
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,200
They knew what they wanted, and they went out, and they got it.

18
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,640
Contrast this image to the America we live in now, and to me it's quite sad.

19
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,940
A typical day for an American begins with waking up to check email and phone messages, eating a rushed breakfast,

20
00:01:45,940 --> 00:01:50,340
spending the day at a stressful job and typically are overworked and overtaxed,

21
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:55,840
and then they come home to or cross paths with their spouse who may also feel compelled to work full-time.

22
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:03,140
The kids are often raised at daycare, are not at home much, and their lives are full of activities designed to help them get into a good school someday.

23
00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:12,140
Contrast that image to one of 1950s America. Life has always been hard, but people were far less rushed and stressed then than now.

24
00:02:12,140 --> 00:02:16,240
Today, the pressure points are coming from everywhere. How did we get here?

25
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,240
Well, one thing's for sure. We didn't get here by acting like straight-shooting Vikings.

26
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:27,840
We've become overly passive and compliant, and a phrase I absolutely detest politically correct, and even worse, woke.

27
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,340
I promise you this, the vast majority of pacified Americans could never even accurately explain how they got to this place,

28
00:02:34,340 --> 00:02:41,140
believing in silly garbage like critical race theory or CRT, or there are 50 trillion different genders,

29
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:45,940
or your two-year-old son wants to be a girl and you're ecstatically happy over that.

30
00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:52,540
Why? Because you wouldn't be adequately woke if you weren't, and being woke is the most important thing in the world to you,

31
00:02:52,540 --> 00:03:00,640
when five years ago, you didn't even know what that ridiculous dripping with condescending superiority, manufactured fake word even meant.

32
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:05,140
In other words, gentlemen, you've lost your balls, and I ain't talking tennis balls.

33
00:03:05,140 --> 00:03:10,040
And ladies, you've lost your sanity because, well, your husband lost his balls.

34
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,240
A big part of our collective challenge is that men are no longer men because since the sexual revolution,

35
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,140
women have inserted themselves where they couldn't go before,

36
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:22,540
largely because being sexually available opens up many locked tight doors.

37
00:03:22,540 --> 00:03:28,340
To put it crudely, men will listen carefully if ladies give these gentlemen what they want.

38
00:03:28,340 --> 00:03:30,540
So then the breakdown of the family occurs.

39
00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:36,740
Men won't act in healthy natural masculine ways because the sex that is current may become a thing of the past.

40
00:03:36,740 --> 00:03:39,040
Women are picky, men not so much.

41
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,440
So many women manipulate through their sex appeal.

42
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,340
The Bible clearly states that our fallen nature means two very bad things.

43
00:03:46,340 --> 00:03:48,740
For men, it means we have to work.

44
00:03:48,740 --> 00:03:52,240
For women, it means they have to suffer the pain of childbirth.

45
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,340
But women have also been tainted since the fall of Eve and Adam with the desire to be like men,

46
00:03:57,340 --> 00:04:02,840
to control them and their environments, and wanting to work like men even when it can be most unpleasant.

47
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,740
The Bible states that women want to assert themselves everywhere.

48
00:04:06,740 --> 00:04:11,640
For example, many women are on the vanguard of this oxygendered evil insanity.

49
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Would there even be a drag queen story hour without the support mainly for women?

50
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,740
I seriously doubt it.

51
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:21,040
I say this because biblically speaking, women in general tend to confuse sex roles.

52
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,240
Vikings were aggressive but simple people.

53
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:29,240
The introduction of Christianity changed them forever, so much so that they eventually ceased to be Vikings.

54
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,840
But again, being a proud American, I believe to a large degree that we get to live the lives we choose.

55
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:40,340
But modern America increasingly is pressuring us to simply go with the flow of the predetermined current

56
00:04:40,340 --> 00:04:42,640
that we are currently streaming down.

57
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,440
The ultra-rich and powerful elites think they know what's better for us than we do.

58
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,140
But a proud Viking would never accept this.

59
00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:52,340
He wouldn't even argue or debate it either.

60
00:04:52,340 --> 00:04:56,840
He would simply sharpen his axe and polish the horns on his helmet, place it upon his head,

61
00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:03,940
and proceed to swing his mighty hatchet to remove the offending noggin of the bloviated bossy carcass that is the Deep State.

62
00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:08,940
Many believe that advancements in technology make this global breakdown of society inevitable.

63
00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:16,440
It is not. When one side takes all the action and the opposing side, by contrast, takes next to no action,

64
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:22,240
there's bound to be a radical disparity, leading both sides towards the same conclusion of who the victor must be.

65
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:28,640
But as soon as the pathosist conformists start to discover their true power, then all bets are off,

66
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,940
especially when the underdogs have overwhelming superiority in numbers.

67
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:40,940
Great news, ladies and gentlemen. We are at the very beginning of this global trend away from globalism and technocracy,

68
00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:45,840
the exact opposite of where most of these so-called experts think we are going.

69
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:49,240
Vikings believed in the survival of the fittest.

70
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,640
There were no insane self-destructive impulses like the Western world has today.

71
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,840
They had a harsh system of justice. Punishment was swift and severe.

72
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:02,440
Here's the part I really love. Vikings were offensive, almost romantically so.

73
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,940
They didn't sit around waiting for life to come to them. They sought and they often found and they conquered.

74
00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:12,840
A favorite stereotype was that they were often victorious. Vikings were simple and decisive.

75
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:18,340
There wasn't too much naval gazing going on. Vikings weren't nerdy or nervous and neurotic.

76
00:06:18,340 --> 00:06:26,140
They were too down-to-earth for that. They didn't allow themselves to become stupefied by some illogical ivory tower notions of egalitarianism

77
00:06:26,140 --> 00:06:31,940
from spoiled rotten snot-nosed elites. There was no need for them, so they simply didn't exist.

78
00:06:31,940 --> 00:06:38,640
Vikings weren't PC or woke. They were much too happy to ever want to invent any self-constraining,

79
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,240
self-loathing, psychotic mindset for themselves. Vikings were independent.

80
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,140
They weren't tied into, well, let's check with the overriding authorities for our district or the HOA.

81
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:52,540
Most assuredly, they had a village council and local leaders,

82
00:06:52,540 --> 00:06:56,940
but the regulations were either far and few between or entirely non-existent.

83
00:06:56,940 --> 00:07:01,340
No snooping, no innuendo, no backbiting from their neighbors.

84
00:07:01,340 --> 00:07:05,540
If there was, it would be settled in the town square with or without weapons.

85
00:07:05,540 --> 00:07:11,940
There were no safety Nazis. If you tripped on your neighbor's walk and fractured something, you were not a victim.

86
00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:14,140
You were a clumsy oaf. It was your fault.

87
00:07:14,140 --> 00:07:18,140
And if you're so goofy that you can't even keep your balance walking down a step,

88
00:07:18,140 --> 00:07:21,340
your peers probably would tease you and make fun endlessly,

89
00:07:21,340 --> 00:07:30,040
sending the strong message to all that paying attention and coordination are important character traits for being a strong Viking.

90
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,740
Kids hear this and they learn it and internalize it.

91
00:07:32,740 --> 00:07:37,240
Not having one lawyer for every 20 Viking citizens makes a sharp-edged,

92
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,740
masculine, independently strong and vibrant hamlet.

93
00:07:40,740 --> 00:07:45,540
Having lawyers and attorneys or excuse makers everywhere would weaken the hamlet,

94
00:07:45,540 --> 00:07:47,640
but the Vikings would have none of that.

95
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,140
Having rules and regulations everywhere was unthinkable to them.

96
00:07:51,140 --> 00:07:55,540
Instead, they wanted to be happy and they insisted upon it.

97
00:07:55,540 --> 00:08:00,740
The very idea of holding one's tongue because it might offend others was repugnant to them.

98
00:08:00,740 --> 00:08:04,840
Truly close-knit communities don't need for people to walk on eggshells.

99
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,540
Open, honest exclamations of passions and affections,

100
00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:13,940
whether it be for politics or war or friendship or family or hunting or farming or anything,

101
00:08:13,940 --> 00:08:16,840
creates a friendly circle of reciprocation.

102
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,540
People tend to respond in kind.

103
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:21,740
If people insist on being their open, honest selves,

104
00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:27,940
others see this honesty and are attracted to them because their guards are being invited to come down as well.

105
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:29,840
It's called just being yourself.

106
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,740
In the modern world, we have something that would be a dystopian nightmare to the Vikings.

107
00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:36,140
Cameras are everywhere.

108
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:42,440
Approximately 80% of all homes in most American communities have doorbells linked to cameras and cell phones.

109
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,340
Why? Because budget cuts and police forces mean slower responses for burglaries.

110
00:08:47,340 --> 00:08:52,240
That's because local government largesse means expensive, bureaucratic red tape.

111
00:08:52,240 --> 00:09:00,240
Also, silly, idiotic PC laws that bend over backwards to prove that the police aren't targeting minorities by KKK,

112
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,240
cross-burning racist cops leaves people more fearful of crime.

113
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,840
And obviously, the drive-by media's frightened rabbit paranoia that they love to push like a corner drug dealer

114
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,340
showing all of us over and over again what a horribly unsafe place the world is.

115
00:09:14,340 --> 00:09:20,340
All of this and much more creates an exhausted and shut off and very unhappy civilization.

116
00:09:20,340 --> 00:09:27,640
Our frustrations are so immense and so profound and so deep-rooted that it seems to the ignorant that we can never climb out of this mess.

117
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,040
Our problem is systemic, but it's not only systemic.

118
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:38,140
Humanity fell into this condition in the Garden of Eden, but we've managed to survive all this time without being destroyed by it.

119
00:09:38,140 --> 00:09:43,240
Ultimately, we will fail, thereby winning, but who's to say that time is near?

120
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:50,040
No one knows the day or the hour of Christ's return, so we shouldn't necessarily expect it with timed precision.

121
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,940
My point is this. Humanity has always been a mess, but our situation today is unique.

122
00:09:54,940 --> 00:09:59,440
If certain variables are removed, then we can return to a much simpler time.

123
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,940
The Vikings weren't corrupted and spoiled like the woke are. They had simple mindsets.

124
00:10:03,940 --> 00:10:11,440
Today, we're speeding away from the simple at hyperspeed towards the complex, untieable knot of AI and woke insanity.

125
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,640
A full embracing of these means never being able to extricate ourselves ever again.

126
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:24,140
Full-blown AI and woke both mean losing our humanity and falling forever into a totalitarian dystopian hellhole.

127
00:10:24,140 --> 00:10:30,440
I'm not trying to over-romanticize the Vikings. They were deeply flawed as a culture, as all cultures are.

128
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:41,140
But certain characteristics have been bred out of modernity, and we would become much happier if we simply reached out and snatched some of them back, as Viking warriors would.

129
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:43,540
It's simple awareness followed by decisive action.

130
00:10:43,540 --> 00:10:51,840
Action steps number one. We must think simply and act decisively in our own lives, just as Vikings. We should never try to over-complicate things.

131
00:10:51,840 --> 00:11:00,040
Number two. Divinity schools worldwide have been largely infected by woke idiotology. Only go to churches that speak biblical truth.

132
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:07,640
Also, make sure they give reference to Satan and his demons. Why? Because Satan is the god of this world, and he is the great deceiver.

133
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:14,240
In a world full of PC and woke lies, parishioners need to be aware of these lethal stumbling blocks.

134
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:20,340
If they are only taught rainbows and unicorns, they are missing the full picture of the real world and true salvation.

135
00:11:20,340 --> 00:11:24,440
But before you leave your church, talk to your junior and senior pastors first.

136
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,440
Let them know of your strong opinions and give them a chance to course correct before you leave.

137
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:36,240
But you may ask, what's this got to do with being a Viking? With all their flaws, Vikings were direct and honest.

138
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:43,140
This is largely absent in the Christian church today. And remember, Vikings eventually were reformed into Christianity.

139
00:11:43,140 --> 00:12:13,040
You've been listening to No PC Allowed. I am Mac Iverson. We will meet again next week and every week.
