ventifact.bsky.social @ventifact.bsky.social · 02/08/2026There was a time, now slipping from memory, when the foremost work of political leaders was to frame everyday sacrifice in deeper meaning.

ventifact.bsky.social @ventifact.bsky.social · 07/07/2026The military is socialist. But! The military isn't socialist simply by virtue of benefits, but because members of the group are committed to the group, above themselves.
