Juleigh, as an Australian, I assure you that ANZAC Day in Australia is still very important and is highly venerated.
Thank you, Vidar, so very much.
That was a wonderful and interesting interview. Thank you, Greg and Juleigh, for making that happen and sharing it with us.
I would have liked to hear how Juleigh became racially aware. Although it seems the seeds were always there, I’ve met many people with similar backgrounds and intuitions that never made the leap or connection.
I would really like to hear more from pro-White families on how they navigate and interact with the hostile environment we live in; how they raise their kids (e.g. homeschooling); how they are able to insulate themselves financially from political correctness; how and what kind of communities they’ve formed/connected with; how their family dynamic operates; and just learn from their experience living as they have and hear what advice they have to offer.
I know I have a bit of experience to offer concerning homeschooling, co-ops, public, and private schools (I’ve been a student in them all), as well as homeschooling and alternative communities with different norms and values than the majority.
I guess I’m at a time in my life where I’m really open to figuring out a general game plan for community building, moving and trying things out.
Maybe I should take it upon myself to interview people and create a series of podcasts focusing on pro-White community building. I think interviewing pro-Whites with families that have different ways of interacting with modernity, different social and religious norms, different family dynamics and are a part of different pro-White communities would be really beneficial to our larger community, and especially to the younger pro-Whites like myself.
