A French politician who hopes to run for president next year has come up with an original idea of how the country can combat the “culture of fear” in the wake of recent terror attacks.
Compulsory martial arts classes in France’s schools would help children respond to the fear of attacks in a productive but safe way, centrist politician Jean Lassalle believes.
“There is fear everywhere,” Lassalle said to Le Figaro newspaper.
“That leads some people to go around with a knife. But with martial arts, you develop self-control and learn to defend yourself peacefully.”
Fear. Amygdala. Conservatism. K-selection. Rabbit terror, and eagerness to make sure nobody dies. r/K Theory is everywhere.
“Defend yourself peacefully.” Even the rabbits realize, the time is approaching where you will have to defend yourself. Even the rabbits realize, there is no getting away from what is coming. Now they are hoping they can get people to defend themselves, in life or death circumstances, “peacefully.” That is the position the left has been reduced to hoping for.
It tells you what is coming.
We are different psychologies – different brain programs. We would give everyone guns, and let the good guys kill the bad guys. The rabbits want everyone to survive, even the criminal savages who are trying to kill everyone. We are comfortable with some level of Darwinian selection, they cannot tolerate it. Those are evolutionarily imbued urges and perceptions.
There is no reasoning with liberals. They are, for all practical purposes, a different species.
On the bright side, there will soon be no reason for reasoning with them, because if this collapse is as big as it appears it will be, it will, for all practical purposes, be an extinction event for them.
[…] As Things Turn K – French Students To Learn Martial Arts? […]
The term “Martial Art” means different things to different people. The Japanese martial arts ending in “do” are considered a Way. The ones ending in “jitsu” are merely a fighting style. Judo evolved from Jujitsu and includes a lot of discipline that Jujitsu lacks. That’s not to say it is more effective at destroying someone in hand to hand combat, it is intended to be a way or a path to live your life. Personally, I would say Judo is better at helping deal with conflict or challenges. Perhaps Judo, Aikido and other Ways can help convert people from an r mindset to a K mindset.
On a side note, my Judo training when I was a teenager has saved me from serious injuries in falls quite a few times in the decades since
Have you done a post on prepping for the Apocalypse? I know there are lots of prepper sites and blogs, but I’d be interested in what your take is.
I have not, and I am not sure whether or not that would be like making a weather forecast in six months. But I’ll scribble down some thoughts at some point.
Sure, Parkour and Savat should be fine
As I recall it was Indiana Jones, I believe, where the hero was threatened by someone with I believe karate. He just watched amused and pulled out a pistol and shot him.
I am one who advocates legalization of all drugs. Let the users kill themselves whilst people defend themselves with guns. Will an innocent get killed? Sure. But very few.
I believe this fellow is eminently qualified to be the lead instructor:

The fun starts about 1:05: “How do you do, fellow Frenchman!”
The backstory is that a group of French Christians were praying to protest the impending demolition of their church. An intermeddler who came by repeatedly — and deliberately disrupted the prayers with comments and loud music — was told to desist. He did not. Hilarity ensued.
Unknown if the slugger is a practitioner of la savate, but his hip rotation is poetry in motion.

This guy should be the lead instructor.

Yeah, that was great. Once that becomes popular, watch out Europe.
The slap so nice, I had to post it twice!
