Women choose courtship, men pick wives. Women are conservative with who they date, men are conservative with who they marry. Women are picky when it comes to sex, men are picky when it comes to commitment. To be a wife you have to be selected. We need Fathers to teach this.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude, than the animating contest of freedom—go from us in peace. Crouch down & lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, & may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." -Samuel Adams

May the record show: When antisemitism was ascendant, I championed the dignity of the Jewish people. I promoted institutional sovereignty against pervasive populism. I opposed the dismantling of Catholic and Orthodox Christian patriarchy practiced voluntarily in households.

We often hear: "How do we help young men?" ​This is like a child asking: "How do we help our parents?" ​Young men are not members of the society; we own the society. ​Our progressive friends, like Scott Galloway, often ask: ​"How do we help men without setting women back?" @profgalloway The question's framing suggests traditional religious marriage sets women back; it does not—it promotes them. ​​Transitioning from a working doctor to becoming a doctor's traditional wife is a promotion. ​Traditional marriage defends women's rights. ​For example: ​Thousands of Black men fought in the Civil War to end slavery, gaining their rights, while women, particularly White and Black women, gained rights by petitioning their husbands in traditional marriages. ​Fewer traditional marriages increase the likelihood that far-right dissidents will challenge women's rights. ​The only solution to the "male loneliness epidemic" coined by progr*ssives is to promote patriarchy in households; attempting to destroy household patriarchy will inevitably destroy women's rights. ​The successor of the liberal Imperial State of Iran was the Isl*mic Republic, and the successor of the Weimar Republic was tragically N*zi Germany. (I'm not comparing the two) ​Husbands and wives serve each other via complementarianism; husbands and wives competing with each other lead to destruction.

I've learned something valuable from wives who are mothers. They never forgot the empathy their husbands showed during pregnancy. Once pregnant, these good men took over as homemakers, ensuring their wives never lifted a finger, cooking nightly, and keeping the home spotless.

We need moral clarity from a traditional classical liberal, a moderate: Gen-Z men don't need help; they need self-determination. We men can pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. I'm the son of a factory worker, at 24; I've paid for my MBA, B.S., & A.S. degrees. With no help. I used $0 in government aid, $0 in veterans benefits, and $0 in loans for the above listed degrees. We don't need the state to fund free childcare. We don't need the state to fund free college for all. Gen-Z young men don't need the state—as the state needs young men. The reason a shoemaker in the 1950s could provide for a family is that men dominated the labor market. The state pushed both sexes into the workforce, defying The Natural Law and driving down wages. Although no person receiving benefits should be disrespected or brought to shame, there's no need for SNAP, EBT, or government benefits when women who need support should rely on their husbands' income to fund their lifestyle. There's no need for state-enforced child support, because marriage itself provides child and spousal support. Some of our progressive liberal friends believe our morals and rights come from ourselves; classical liberals know our rights come from God. To a few of our secular leftist friends, anyone who disagrees is immoral or anti-intellectual—because they oppose the leftists, themselves, whom they view as God. Among Gen-Z men, anti-institutionalism and immorality are rising via a slippery slope. For our friends who are moderate conservatives: Downplaying the transatlantic slave trade tragically enables immoral people to downplay the Hol*caust. Islamophobia paves the road to antisemitism—as we Christians believe God became man, dwelt among us, taking on human flesh to save sinners. The religion fueling moral chaos among Gen-Z men, especially on the far right, is the religion of subsidized modern radical feminism and extremist progressivism—both narcissistic and idolatrous. As classical liberals, we don't need the state to enforce conservative values, but to defund the destruction of the family unit. Your SNAP/EBT is your husband. Your childcare is your wife, not the state. Your child support is your husband, not the government. Let's promote a culture of not conservative values, but traditional family values with respect to true big-tent liberalism—the bedrock of Americanism. Let's reject political extremism and promote a culture of self-determination, the foundation of the American experiment. ​Christians, the Jewish People, and Muslims can work together to disarm ideological extremism. @dailywireplus @theblaze @prageru @ProjectLiberal

I've completed graduate school. I refused to celebrate. ​For my MBA, M.A. (c), B.S., and A.S., it has only cost me under $25,000 for my first three to four college degrees, while accruing: • ​Zero Student Loans • ​Zero Government Assistance • ​Zero Veterans Benefits • ​Zero Tuition Assistance • ​Zero Debt ​Out of respect for the American taxpayer, I paid for my first three earned college degrees with my wages covered by my earnings, all by the age of 24, all costing under $25,000, out of pocket. ​I've earned my benefits; however, I have elected not to use them. I may exercise those rightfully earned benefits when and if I pursue my doctorate or additional degrees. ​​As a Christian and a Black man, I have not and will never celebrate my personal college graduations—in respect to my current degrees, although my educational achievement with this MBA is a serious milestone. ​I apply this rule exclusively to myself because I can only hold myself accountable. ​My culture's 33% marriage rate and 67% out-of-wedlock birthrate make personal celebration inappropriate. ​Any culture that tells its daughters to prioritize careerism over marriage, the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony is in error. ​I'm here to change that. ​Even the recent drastic improvements led by Gen-Z Men within urban America, embracing voluntary patriarchal values, do not yet warrant me celebrating my college education. ​Once I'm blessed with daughters, who will be Black women, I'll advise them to prioritize marriage first and college second, and as their father, I will celebrate both milestones with them, as both are important achievements, one of which is holy. ​Most importantly, my future adult daughters will see the value of voluntary Christian patriarchy, witnessing their husbands lead their households if they elect to have husbands. ​I'll tell my future sons to prioritize college or a trade first, marriage second, so that they can be providers. ​Two master's degrees, twice homeless, two-time college dropout, and twice deployed all under 26 years old. ​ZERO DEBT. ​We will renew urban American exceptionalism. ​@Iodcompany x @Improveordeath — Theron Bassett, MBA, M.A. (c).

A materialist wants your money solely for her soft life. ​A traditional wife, however, requires your provision so she can focus on serving the family & nurturing the children. ​In Christianity, a man is the head of his wife; in the same respect, she is the head of his children.

Do not pray for easy lives, pray to be stronger men. - John F. Kennedy

You don't need SNAP. You don't need EBT. You don't even need a job. You need patriarchy. A husband is patriarchy. Christ is patriarchy. As for men: "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." —2 Thessalonians 3:10 No one is coming to save you but the Lord. —————————————— If you need SNAP or EBT, may you never be judged harshly or disrespected. ​Instead, may the Lord bless you with a hardworking, honorable husband whom you voluntarily submit to. ​With America's morally good liberal values (Classical liberal values), there are few to no limitations brought upon mankind.

From a few Black men attributing their shortcomings to white supremacy to a few White men blaming their shortfalls on affirmative action and DEI, any man who assigns his lack of lifetime success to others has hardly stepped into manhood.

(This is not a partisan message) ​The Honorable Kamala Harris, a distinguished citizen, released a book that vindicates one of my cultural remarks defending voluntary household Christian patriarchy on X (Twitter). In her book, she stated the following: ​"For some, the voices that filled the void belonged to Andrew Tate, Myron Gaines, and others who grab attention with get-rich or fitness content, then deliver arguments that feminism is damaging to masculinity and that women 'need to know their place.'" ​(From the book: 107 Days, published September 23, 2025.) ​The main ideas in my attached posts were: ​The more radical feminism becomes, the more patriarchy it encourages (e.g., Andrew Tate, Myron Gaines). ​The contemporary feminist movement (society writ large, not a specific person) believes it can smash Christian Patriarchy (I, Theron Bassett, am a Catholic who respects Christian Orthodoxy, which is in opposition to modern feminism in support of household patriarchy that respects women). The modernist feminist (society writ large) believes she can evangelize our respectable and pious friends who practice Islam (Andrew Tate & Myron Gaines; "friends" was used out of congeniality, not kinship) with her religion of egalitarianism, cultural progressivism, and leftism. She is wrong. ​In 100 years, fourth-wave feminists aiming to smash voluntary Christian patriarchy within the family unit will ironically inherit more patriarchy. (According to her quote, it did not even take 100 years.) ​To break this down further: ​Instead of engaging with figures like Kevin Samuels, a Christian (@kevinrsamuels1), some contemporary feminists appear intent on converting Andrew Tate (@Cobratate) and Myron Gaines (@MyronGainesX) from the religion of Islam to the religion of feminism. ​Instead of accepting that patriarchy is natural, particularly within households, some would attempt to destroy it and fail in doing so. ​Let me be clear: ​Americans, myself included, should be able to respectfully articulate their perspectives. ​This post affirms that my X presence is dedicated to educational discourse and the cultivation of responsible, respectful dialogue. My brand stands for debunking political extremism, defending the traditional family unit practiced voluntarily, promoting traditional Classical liberalism, and establishing unity with the Jewish people and Muslims while confessing Jesus Christ as Lord of one essence with God the Father. It took just over 100 days to inherit more patriarchy, not even 100 years. See below: 1) x.com/Improveordeath… 2) x.com/Improveordeath…

When political extremists claim Black people are 13% of the population and commit 50% of crime, they are being knowingly dishonest or unknowingly deceived. "13 do 50" is false. "Less than 1-2% of Americans are responsible for less than 50% of violent crime" is more accurate. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, about 30-33% of Black men had a felony conviction, most of which were drug-related. Approximately 30-33% of the 6.5% segment of the population—equating to about ~1-2% of the total U.S. population, a significant portion of whom involve drug-related offenses—account for slightly less than 50% of violent crimes. Roughly 67-70% of Black men have no felony record, violent or drug-related, as crime is concentrated among repeat offenders. The 13/50 accusation is for homicides, but 100% of the 13% of Black people are not criminals. It's more realistic to say about less than 1-2% of Americans are responsible for 50% of violent crime, not 13%. @grok (AI) will vindicate these statistics below. Stable two-parent families correlate with lower crime rates. The way to lower crime among the subset of repeat offenders is through household patriarchy. Children learn to submit to authority from their mother, who is married and submissive to their father, who is the leader and provider of the family. Mothers rebelling against the patriarchy of their husbands may lead to children mimicking that behavior, growing up to rebel against the law-giver, who is God, and the law-enforcer, which is the democratic nation doing the will of its religious citizenry.

Conflict entrepreneurs, men who seek to divide us, will state various crime & demographic statistics out of context to promote fear: "My race (White or Black) is a dwindling global minority, only 7% of the global population." This, often said by racial radicals, is misleading: Black people are 16% to 17% of the global population, while White people are 12% to 16% of the population globally, respectively. Toxic online influencers, who are either Black or White, lower or raise these numbers to sow discord and evoke fear among their respective populations. Apart from addressing the "13 do 50" misportrayal, conflict entrepreneurs on the very extreme left, often holding hateful anti-white views, may claim in bad faith, that white men, despite being 29% of the population, account for 78% of child ab*se material offenders also known as CSAM offenders. On the far right, those who may hold hateful anti-black views may claim Black people are 13% of the population and are responsible for 50% of violent crime (​This doesn't account for exonerations, which Black people lead in). Both claims against White people and Black people are incorrect as they imply that 100% of the demographic is responsible for each crime. We Christians call this the sin of bearing false witness or calumny. For example, if a group of 25 people represents 13% or 29% of a population and one person within that group commits a crime, it's incorrect to claim or even imply that the entire 13% or 29% of the population is responsible for the crime. This would be bearing false witness against the 24 innocent people in that specific group and an overgeneralization to the entire population. Don't give in to racial fearmongering. Reject all political extremism.

Reject the Divine Feminine Refuse the Impious Masculine Embrace the Divine Liturgy—Christ The law of the far-right strongman is his fist. The law of the far-left anarchist is her heart. 'The heart is deceitful above all things & sick; who can understand it?' - Jeremiah 17:9 Both the fist & the heart lead to corruption. Moderate men with cool heads and high moral character must prevail as an anti-inflammatory remedy during incredible moral stress within a societal body. Many radical feminists whether on the right (who pretend to be traditional) & on the left—both, at times, seek attention, dividing men, & often call for ideological "conflict" they won't or can't participate in. We've especially seen this recently. Traditional Christian women, particularly Traditional wives don't have a party affiliation, but rather an ideological affiliation. Some of these online "influencers" are pushing gossip, encouraging extremism & profiting off conspiracy theories. That's why we "men of the book"—Christians, the Jewish people, and Muslims—must stand together, walk shoulder to shoulder, and speak boldly about the good statement we all believe in: "God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light." Granted, in Proverbs 31, the virtuous woman works. She produces a supplementary income, but her primary focus remains as a traditional homemaker. Let me be clear on how upright men and women often differ. Men & women, particularly religious men and women, often show their love differently: Man's greatest act of love is Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Woman's greatest act of love is Mary's obedience & submission to God. "Mary said, 'Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.'" - Luke 1:38 A righteous man proves his love by providing and protecting, sacrificing his own happiness for his career to support his family. ​"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." - 1 Timothy 5:8 A righteous woman was not created to prove her love through her career, but through the same obedience and submission as Mary, the Mother of God. It is the mark of the devil to deceive mankind by blurring the lines of how men and women show true love and to claim a carnal woman's prideful ambition to compete with men is similar to a man's sacrificial duty of career, provision, or Holy Apostolic leadership in the True Catholic or Orthodox Christian Churches. It is written in Isaiah: "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.' Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit." The wicked one, the adversary, the prince of darkness, said out of their own pride that they will strive to be above God, the light, and that they will be like God. If the aforementioned radical feminist, an imperfect sinner, seeks to reject the order of creation and be as man—an imperfect and fallen sinner—exalting her own authority above Christian patriarchy in her home, and is choosing to serve her ambitions as her god— If she rejects the authority of her husband, the least of men, to serve the god of money and careerism, she is and will reject the authority of the perfect man who is Jesus Christ of Nazareth of one essence with God the Father. This is like Satan's rejection of the authority of God who is Jesus, who saw the Devil fall from heaven like lightning. Satan, enamored with his beauty, tries to prove he can exceed all that God can do, instead of submitting to morally upright authority. It was his pride, not his work, that sent him to hell. Her pride, enamored with her own beauty, is so great that she has created an idol of herself; accusing her of being average at best violates the pagan religion of the divine woman, which commands, "have no other gods before woman," as the woman is a jealous god. She celebrates the death of all men who die opposing her sacrilegious feminist idolatry. We Christians believe in the First Commandment to "have no other gods before me," as the Lord, Jesus Christ, is a jealous God. The demons cannot prevail against the patriarchy of Jesus Christ. You cannot worship both Mammon—the god of money, wealth, and status, including your career or education—and the Redeemer of the world. "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." - Matthew 6:24 When the Lord blesses me with daughters, I know they'll be anxious and afraid to prioritize marriage over a college education, as they should. To my future daughters: A young man in his youth who desires you in your youth will sacrifice himself for you, even to his demise, but the man you desire, as much as you love your career, will betray you. The philosophy of first-wave feminism is a moral good, ensuring the right to vote. The religion of radical feminism is idolatry. A college education is important, but it is never more important than the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. I'm explicitly not saying a woman's desire to compete with men in a career field is "carnal pride" or the "mark of the devil." I'm saying that women and men were created by a begotten God to show their love differently. Love is a challenging practice. It is hard for women to submit, and it's hard for men to provide—that's what makes these actions pure love. Moderate feminists, career-oriented women, non-traditionalists, progressives, and non-Christians must be treated with the same empathy and respect Jesus showed to all people—from the greatest to the least among us. "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." — Matthew 25:40 My brand's purpose is not to critique modern feminism, but to witness the gospel of Jesus Christ and to promote reasonable, inclusive American values.

The real issue is that we have forgotten that we are all sinners; anger is akin to murder, and we are all m*rderers. 'There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away; together they have become worthless; there is no one who does good, not one.' — Romans 3:10–12 We must lower the temperature in American cultural discourse, resist our worst inclinations, turn away from those who fan division, and remember there is no “problem side”—only a shared moral responsibility. Loving God, restoring the traditional family unit, and loving our neighbors will solve America's problems.

May Jesus lead our national discourse It's false & immoral to label all of our neighbors who are White, within a current major American movement, as “hateful” It's equally incorrect & libelous to claim that 100% of the 13-15% of Black Americans are responsible for 50% of crime We must lower the temperature in American cultural discourse, resist our worst instincts and those who fan division, and remember there is no “problem side” — only a shared moral responsibility Jesus, pictured below, tells us to “pray for those who persecute you” — both sides should pray for each other & remain true to our American principles: - Jurisprudence - The Traditional Family Unit - Rule of Law - Patriarchy Within the Household - Jeffersonian Classical Liberalism - Traditional Christian Values — walking together with all "men of the book," whether they be the Jewish people or Muslims. We must walk together out of love for our neighbors.
