No revenge. No payback. No taking the Left's bait and trying to get running into the future with your shoe laces tied together. Just say NO to resisting unity when you just won it all and have the RIGHT to make the new story.Michael McGruther tarafından oluşturuldu

From Bill Clinton's administration up to Joe Biden's is a time marked by a continuous decline in American unity and American culture. This current reality is the result of Manifest Degeneracy --a time when advertising, culture and narrative power was controlled by a small group of corporations and their government cronies that knew how inspire the …

Shared pain is how we share empathy. When pain is isolated and converted into a victim economy is when shared pain loses its uniting power. This is remedied with storytelling that reestablishes the universalness of pain and the unique American way we rise to alleviate pain.Michael McGruther tarafından oluşturuldu

The Civil War marketing department is part of a long tradition of media and politicians creating panic and division in society and then monetizing it via movies, books and protest songs about it. Make this summer a failure for those who invest in our divisions. The American way is a free way of choosing your own way, so get going.…

"Situational awareness within the narrative" is an individual's ability to understand their role, influence, and the impact of their actions within the larger story of their life and how it contributes to the national narrative.

The plight of Americans far from power is directly affected by those who are speaking on their behalf in political media. The main objective of the Right Wing professional political class is making hating you acceptable so that our culture imbalance never changes.Michael McGruther tarafından oluşturuldu

After spending 12 years with politics consuming much of my free time and racking up loss after loss, I had realized what was missing from the Right is stories and art that makes conservatism understandable. I then spent 4 years advocating for the Right to convert to an art and culture operation. That is not going to happen. Instead — revenge and al…

The time has arrived for indie artists to boldly run off with (protected) concepts that are tied to corporate IP (that in realty are just branded and monetized iterations of underlying scientific concepts that anyone can use).

Until we become full time artists who are concerned with American culture, we will continue to be mere pawns in a grand narrative.Michael McGruther tarafından oluşturuldu

Culture over time is the equation that wins the future. To walk in the right direction means we must walk into culture over time. To react is to look backwards at the crumbs dropped to throw you off. Get on the path to culture, over time, and we will walk right out of this disaster of American culture being dominated by corporations.…

Projecting doom into your dome is a well paying full time Pundicrat job but you can end it quickly and simply by forcing change upon the narrative and making them change what they do to bait you.

Unity is the glue that holds us together -- and discontent is the hammer that aims to smash us apart.Michael McGruther tarafından oluşturuldu

The Republican Party behaves like teenage social media influencers and always goes for the cheap and easy snark, when the people they claim to represent have stories and lives of their own that are ignored and forgotten by culture and that means they are ignored and forgotten by politicians. Consider the garbage man's life compared to the political…

The collapse of Hollywood is the collapse of the agent run system. The agent run system has had a negative effect on the culture in America by leveraging power behind the scenes to influence what films reach consumers. A better dynamic is emerging where a studio system maintains the integrity of Hollywood's purpose as the nation's storyteller and t…

The success of The Sound of Freedom is a clever and hard won culture war win for conservative Americans far from power.

Get to know indie artist Alphonso Rachel, who opens up about the uphill climb all artists have who want to influence the culture.

It's a new day in a new era with a new mindset. The artistic right is here and ready to play. The old ways have proven false and pundits have been called out and exposed as the frauds they are.

Americans far from power cherish stories that reveal God's presence in the lives of ordinary people. This does not mean movies and TV shows only about Jesus, but about those who encounter the fellowship and reveal the presence. The most beloved works contain this feature but it's missing from today's pop culture or is presented in an inauthentic wa…

The Democrat party rules both culture and politics, exploiting each for maximum effect and profit by people behind the scenes who have never changed their ways. Instead they have just become stronger and made their exploitation of people through storytelling systemic and more far reaching. The power of narrative belongs to We the People, not they/t…

The parasite and host relationship is true in nature and in human nature. Not all parasites kill their host and sometimes it can be mutually beneficial to be together. The right has to culture because there are no benefits for the political parasites who trap and drain their blue collar working-class hosts, and in doing so make sure they have no cu…

The unity of the American people is the one thing that prevents unity of government officials. The left has taken culture and the right has taken payments from the left.
