If you’ve been wondering about the logo, I’ll explain.
What is the ‘fifth Auxiliary’?
It is the embodiment of the “Fifth Auxiliary Right”, as described Sir William Blackstone.
“The natural right of resistance and self-preservation, when the sanctions of society and laws are estrain the violence of oppression.”
This right, described by Blackstone, is the progenitor of the Second Amendment.
The aim is to build a culture of warriors and philosophers, so posterity will inherit these traits. The ‘fifth Auxiliary’ is the mechanism to uphold and defend them.
You are the fifth auxiliary.

Being an American gun owner means that something perfectly legal yesterday can become a felony that gets you raided by armed men on a hair trigger. Not uncommonly resulting in your death.
Normal people bought guns, from federally licensed dealers, with pistol braces on them. We of them becoming felons, with no recourse.
Better yet, it often happens by accident, or because of bad information. You’re not even the one who ran afoul of a law. The cops just fuck it up. The police mistook Duncan Lemp’s perfectly legal Tavor for a full-auto... for some reason? And shot him to death in his bed.
Tate Adamiak sat in prison for years because an informant just made shit up, and the ATF decided to keep rolling with it.
There are, without drama or hysterics, very few other entire groups of people where the mere act of existing can bring rapid and violent death or long-term imprisonment. Regardless of social or economic class, race, gender, location, age, or sexuality.
Beyond that, we have all the other hallmarks of every other oppressed minority group. Entire political parties campaign on our erasure. Basically the entire world outside of the US with few exceptions view us as a disgusting plague full of backwards people that the entire planet would be better off with us gone.
Police will often shoot you just for being armed, regardless of circumstance, sometimes even after YOU called them.
So what's the argument we aren't?

Hey! Hey! Pay attention to me! Lol M81 Christmas is moving forward. It has been completely based on whether an amazing holster gets produced in time. That one product is now being put on the "if it happens" list instead of the whole package. Currently I have an @ExUmbrisDesigns hat, a @Rebels_Raiders Apothecary bag *filled*, a @Psy_ware hoodie in M81 woodland that have been acquired. Are there any M81 requests to consider? or anyone that might be interested in donating to the big Christmas GAW?

You will NEVER find meaning in rationalism, because meaning is the substance of experience, not merely its explanation.
A thousand pages on the psychology of love will never convey what a single well crafted story can make us feel and recognize.
Sacred truths are the same. ed through mythology and folklore. They can be experienced and felt more efficiently this way.
In many ways the myths and folk tales are more true, even in a literal sense, than our attempts to materialize and rationalize everything.
Sure the earth moves around the sun. I feel almost nothing.
The sun being chased across the sky by a giant wolf however…
Mythology is actually disclosing something about reality that our materialist descriptions fail to perceive.
So yes, take them literally because they are true.
They are a vessel for the very soul of the people that carried these stories for centuries. It is why I believe it is important to return to, or at least acknowledge the sacred spirit of one’s indigenous faith.

The tendency to label horrific things as fake or a conspiracy is the product of a few factors that reinforce each other.
First is optimism bias from a relatively sheltered life. A veneer of civilization keeps most people insulated from the reality of atrocity and institutional believe something if we’ve never experienced anything similar.
Second is a conditioned response. Whether it was built by experience or by propaganda doesn’t change its predictability. When something terrible hits the timeline the dismissal is certain.
Third is the incentive for clicks. People understand what happened but shape the narrative anyway because doubt and outrage drive engagement and influence behaviors and opinions.
