The most amazing thing to me about 1984 was how George Orwell predicted that people would change/redefine words to control arguments and truths. Exactly what is happening now.
As Jocko mentions, it actually happens often, and it happened in the soviet union, so its often used to villanize a group and then they expand upon it. Kinda like they did with far right and racism
Read Orwell’s essay , Politics And The English Language
It's not a new phenomenon, language has always changed and people have been trying to use and abuse that as long as we have tried to communicate. It's just much easier to things like this because it sounds sla lot more profound and scary. People in power have often tried to change language to suit their personal ambitions for thousands of years, it was actually a lot more common in times when societies were a lot more isolated.
Google: “Loading the language”
People have been doing that since the advent of language...If you read Ancient Greek writings on everyday life, you see all the types of people that exist today.
When a Navy SEAL like Jocko who stared death in the face for years calls something scary multiple times, you better take notice.
A navy SEAL commander no less. Details like this (as in what the general population was saying, as well as relevant government laws) were probably relevant intel to overseeing his missions.
kinda sick of the hero worship of soldiers.. It's gonna be guys just like jocko pointing the guns at us forcing the new laws coming...people really need to wake up to the reality that its already over the end game is coming and it ain't pretty what our over lords have in store for us..
@@demo3456 not sure if you're talking about what I said, but even if it's what op said: how is that hero worship? It seems to me that what gardener is highlighting is that someone with a perspective that has experienced true danger would likely not be easily scared of something unless it could potentially be truly threatening. That doesn't seem to be hero worship, it's more like taking notice of the opinion of someone who has experienced a broader range of danger.
I get your gripe though. I personally know many people who have served, and let's just say the last thing I would do is hold them in reverence. They deserve respect for serving, sure, but like everything else people take things too far.
@@alexrosario423 Yup, exactly.
@@demo3456 some will; however, EVERY soldier, police officer, etc...took an oath to uphold the constitution. They need to remember that and keep their oath.
The one thing we learn from history is that nobody learns from history.
Is that Hegel?
@@lolguytiger45 Ye
Or anyway not enough people do at any given time. I have a degree in German and so I know a little bit more about how a normal society can change into a dictatorship. When I tried to warn people half a year ago here in Belgium as our rights were being taken away from us, my colleagues thought I was crazy. Luckily I have some Russian friends here who at least understood me. By now more and more people are seeing that what is happening is not in our best interest, and people are starting get more organized so we can stand up and claim back our freedom.
@@ingevankeirsbilck9601 Also important to understand that even Nazi Germany didn't emerge from a vacuum; everything sets precedence to everything else, a cause and effect, as it were. The treaty and even Marxist influence caused the emergence of Weimar. The chaos of Weimar caused the loss of faith in liberal ideals. That loss of faith caused the need for radical order, which in turn caused the rise of an oppressive and genocidal regime.
Similarly, what's happening in the USA right now too has a very long line of causality. And if one wants to ensure history doesn't repeat itself, it becomes essential to understand the nature of that causality to steer it to a different direction.
Unfortunately, not everybody is capable of this, and nobody can understand it to its fullest, no matter how much they convince themselves that they do -- often in an attempt to change what they perceive to be a repeat of history, they will ironically fulfil the prophecy (see: in an attempt to fight fascists, you become a fascist). Which is why the best thing an individual can do, as Jocko puts it, is to create contingencies and find means to safegaurd ourselves against the inevitability.
Right now, for instance, everyone around the world can now see at what direction America may be heading in, and they're starting to build ways to circumvent themselves having to be negatively affected by it. Such as programmers researching new ways towards decentralization, and lawmakers proposing new laws, etc.
At least the people in control anyway...
This is the most political I've seen Jocko. Thats how big a deal this is.
Every actual intellectual youtuber etc is migrating to the right/conservative/patriot mindset, because they can see what we all see. Libs and the left are leaches on society.
Good for him and about time. Being a guy who serve this country at the tip of the spear hear of anyone has the right to say whatever the hell he wants and thank goodness he’s on the right side of the subject. I’m actually quite impressed. He’s made some incorrect assumptions particularly in refereeing the Soviet union when he should be referencing Mussolini in Italy who was actually a true fascist and the only fascist in history. But regardless he sitting enough of the points that matter and that’s all that matters. Keep it up Jocko.
Semper Fi
@@clarkfluegel6875 Yes they are leaches but worst of all they can't tolerate opposing points of views. It's going to get a lot worse before anything gets better, we are in for one hell of a fight the next 4 years. I wouldn't be surprised if ever single influencer on youtube that goes against the left agenda in any way will be completely banned. There will be nothing left but the left.
too little too late
@@clarkfluegel6875 No. Just no. You are making a statement of fact based on YOUR observations. Funny that your statement supposedly speaks for " intellectuals". True intellectuals use facts and evidence. Facts support the notion that with every generation more and more people are moving further and further left to the point where what is considered right now was considered far left 30-50 years ago (roughly every 1-2 generations).
Any deep study of politics reveals this historical fact.

@@Hairy.Whodini So now protesting and saying 'we believe you cheated in the election and don't trust your results' is deemed as insurrection? Wow. That's some pretty extreme authoritarianism right there.
@@btkramer No, but trying to shut down 1 of the 3 checks of power by abducting and/or assassinating elected officials, destroying public buildings and killing cops sure is
@@Muppet-Puncher whooooooa. Who tried to kidnap or assassinate anyone on January 6? The tale of "attempted coup" grows like a fungus with those who choose to believe they are "the righteous", while enforcing a doctrine of absolute compliance, while simultaniously refusing to engage in a nuanced discussion, protecting all views, including those he/she most vehemently opposes,--the opportunity to voice their convictions.
Make Orwell Fiction Again!

You rocked that
I'd buy that Shirt!
Unfortunately, it was never fiction. What we see now has been attempted and overcome before. Wish it were fiction.
All he had to do was study the results of a few socially destructive dictators. Lenin, Stalin, you know. Men who would be gods ?
Orwell was read in our AMERICAN History classes along with AMERICAN HISTORY when I was a kid in the class of a WW2 veteran.
Jocko keeps saying scary because it’s becoming true In America
Indeed!
unfortinately not just America but this is happening Globaly
He has been lying about Trump for 4 years. Now he wants to stop the commies?
No, he is not scared. It doesn't want to clean up the crap when they try something stupid.
@@DamataChr i don't believe Jocko gives a flying fuck what happens. I get no vibes that he is in one bit concerned of the current trajectory of the country nor would he make his opinion known. He seems content to sit back and enjoy his life in Hawaii.
I read “1984” when I was in middle school and it scared the crap out of me. It still does. Thanks for confronting this monster.
I did too. And had the same reaction
1984 didn't predict that Big Brother would be Capitalists, not the government.
Powerful Jocko. History teaches and it’s lessons are coming full circle.
Gender and familial neutral terms issued for use in congressional proceedings. It’s happening.
History not learned is doomed to repeat itself. Learn. Share. Break the fucking cycle.
Interesting huh?? How history is used to teach lessons, of what to avoid. Yet here we are.
This has been occuring long before Trump or Biden have been on the political scene.
It would be interesting to see how FDR's administration changed the language.
We’re living the beginning now.
Jocko just demonstrated why well educated English majors (with worldly life experience) are actually still very important.
sorry man but we are way beyond the beginning. We are almost at the end..no one wants to admit it but what these over lords have planned for us is coming sooner then anyone thinks. And it wont be pretty They tell us in all the movies and shows and other forms of programming whats in store but people just blow it off because its to scary to actually look at..
Jocko reviews "1984" by George Orwell.
2021 just got REAL.
Man my high school social studies teacher pushed the Gulag Archepelego on us hard core, hated reading every minute of it then but today I am so glad I did. We treated that guy like shit too which is unfortunate for this great gift of Knowledge. Mr. Larry Bowman, if you're out there thank you for sharing that with us and sorry for our hijinks.
You should get in touch with him. I'm a teacher myself, and I would love to hear that, even if it was years later.
Reach the dude
Jocko bruh you gotta start speaking up. Your voice has legitimacy because you're a TRUE patriot.
Agreed
I agree, but let me elaborate in the hopes that Jocko will consider. The revolution did not happen solely due to the rabble and the mob. In fact, it was mostly due to upper and middle class men like Benjamin Franklin, and influential men like John Hancock.
It wasn't just the rabble! We had strong men like George Washington to lead us, and great men like Thomas Jefferson to help frame our arguments.
The people are awake and don't know what to do. We need leaders, not just sideline commentators and disinterested elites.
@@timmcclymont3527 I'm totally lock step in agreement with you. Absolutely right. Well said!
We need someone to unite both the left and right through a common interest: removing the wealthy elites from control of our nation.
Jocko would be an incredible leader for such a movement.
@@Regenperf Jocko is literally the ONLY guy who can do what you described. Believe me, that list is very very short.
This is great. Jocko is spot on when he talks about misusing/overusing insulting terms to describe conservatives and liberals. This sheds a light on our dire need to use critical thinking and pull off our party blinders.
Finally Jocko has spoken
Kind of in secret code though because he's not directly said it..... Pandemic ended June
Indirectly dropping lugs. How can one not when both sides of the political aisle or spectrum start to act out openly.
The technocrats will have members of Biden’s cabinet like they did Mayor Pete’s campaign. Completely legally, social media edicts will be made law. The marriage of the establishment cathedral will be complete with social media, all three branches, MSM, universities, and Hollywood all pushing in one direction towards othering people with “heterodox” opinions... half the damn country
He has to speak in code just like trump has too.

The people shouldn't fear their Government, the Government should fear the people.
Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us. John Hancock.
Be careful with a statement like this. The Government and it's people should have Mutual Respect for each other. Neither should fear the other. Massive difference. The only question really is what to do when one disrespects the other, and it's not a question that's easy to answer.
The individual should fear it though...
The people as a group should not.
Tricky...
AMEN!, or, is it AWOMEN?
Their should be a mutual respect between the two.

Glad you are here Jocko, been listening to you and thanks to you I overcame depression and am now getting my life back in track. I wanted to thank you for all of it that you do, keep at it
This is so incredibly important and applicable to the time we are in right now. We cannot let everything our forefathers fought and died for us to have be taken away from our children. We must fight and win.

@@gking407 sorry for the one word reply Adam. I meant fighting our ignorance and our taking what has been handed us for granted. And I really mean me, not us. God dropped me on earth in the first 150 years that it didn’t absolutely suck to be human, dropped me into an experimental liberal democracy whose participants still sacrifice themselves to build, and then handed me to parents who loved me. Been given all that and still if I don’t keep myself on the edge of understanding it I fall into taking it for granted, let my edges get dulled by hearing all these arguments about how bad things are or even how bad we are or how bad time-tested virtues now suddenly are. BS, I need to fight me and my ongoing ignorance first then maybe I can be useful in helping others fight for what we have and how we might preserve and advance it. So I went from one word to a full dissertation but grateful for the chance to think it through and reply to you, Adam.
@@timothydriscoll5462 That’s awesome and I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I do believe we’re all more similar than different in our values and morals, at least enough that we can thrive together.

"The Road to Wigan Pier"

Sobering and apropos to our times.

Thank you Jocko.....
Watching Jocko try and internalize reality TV was great.
Seems like he would like Japanese reality TV, where they make you suffer.
"And then they battle?" "Oh" "And THEN they battle?" "Is it tyrannical?"

Speak TO is not incorrect, though speak WITH is more common in US.
Skinny knees syndrome
One thing I am having trouble getting my head around, is just how many of my countrymen want a totalitarian state that bans speech, content, commerce, and basic western unalienable rights. Most people just don't understand that you cannot legislate morality. Decency, etc.
@eedd sdsd Correct. It’s was all “defund the police” “abolish the police” “all cops are bastards” “put those pigs in a blanket” not even a month ago. Now it is “I can’t believe a cop died” and “the cops should of been more aggressive and shot more of them.”
@eedd sdsd id be willing to bet they would be confused and act as if a mistake had happened and their party wouldn’t betray them like that. (Gulag archipelago)
Well, if you don’t believe in a supreme morality that governs the world then you also do not have the ability to understand what an “inalienable” right is. There is a fundamental disconnection that takes place in their head.
We say: “rights come from God.” They say: “rights come from the government.”
Therefore, it not only is what they want, it is what they believe in the deepest recesses of their black souls. That the government and the collective are inherently more valuable than an individual is the fundamental belief of the left.

I think he realizes what is happening. And its not just in the US.
will be good to hear a warrior's view on this history
I´m living in Venezuela, and 1984 is a fiction book that became a reality over here.
Can u give me some detail on how it all fell apart and what your daily life is like now? As an American I’d like to at least have some mental preparation before we hit the point of no return (if we haven’t already)
Quotations are Jocko reading from the book's appendix:
"The general populace could not even have a coherent political conversation" - Almost no one today has the patience or diligence to have a meaningful conversation on public policy
....
"shortest staccato sound used to express a concept." - emojis, twitter having word limits
Damn. I didn't even put those two things together. I fear you are right.
Politically Correctness is "New Speak"
I've been listening to your podcast for almost two years now. Your podcast is so underated. You need millions listening to you.
Damn Jocko! The fact that you just did this episode makes me respect you 100 times more. Completely solidified as an ally in my book! Every other "influencer" has spent the last 24 hours handing out the same scripted lecture. Honestly, I thought this video was gonna be the same when I saw it but you've transcended the garbage and brought genuine content! Thanks for all you've done for our FREEDOM!!!
yeah freedom to attempt to overturn democracy. ie freedom to take away other peoples freedom. very precious freedom that.
May 2021 here, hearing jocko reading 1984 is giving me the chills. Wake up people... its here...
1 year later after another year of mandates & tyranny. This message is more timely than ever. The alarm clock is still ringing in 2022.
JOCKO NOW IS THE TIME! WE NEED A LEADER! WE NEED SOMEONE TO PULL US TOGETHER AND YOU ARE THAT PERSON!
No you are. Stop looking outside yourself.
Time for what exactly? That’s a broad statement.
We don't need a 'leader'. We have elected representation. We, the people, are the leaders.
You have it bassackwards.
If you want change, look in the mirror.
I think everyone should read 1984 three times. Once as a 17 year old, again as a 23 year old, and again as a 35 year old. Each time it will mean something very different to you and will help re-orient your view of the world.
I'm 34 and just read it again. I agree 100% with your comment!
basically what I've done. I read it at 18 getting my ged..again as a 27 yo..who completely fucked there life up and I actually read it like 4 years ago at 34.. the book was a plan. the elite have been planning this for hundreds of years.. I can't really go to deep because I'd be typing forever.

Echo's analogy with the difference between tests -- essays, multiple choice, 'true or false' etc -- is a really fantastic one in the context of a discussion about how to limit people's ability to discern nuance or engage in critical thought.
I watched this because CZcams recommended and I was bored. Damn. Glad I did. Did not suck. Conversation that everyone should/could have. Good content guys.
At some point we need to stop letting those with nothing to lose be the vocal ones.
@@IronDisulfide I'm saying be vocal even if you have something to lose. A vast majority of people didn't participate in the Revolution because their comfort was more important. Allowing extremists to be your perceived representative is laziness and cowardly. People can speak all they want but I'm not going to respect those like having their safe content or endorse through silence antifa or what ever was at the capital. I'm not saying silence anyone I'm saying speak up its time the grinders and those that don't participate in rallies because they have obligations begin to engage politically.
Man - I love Jocko thought process and breakdown of complex topics.
I did have to laugh when he got really into the 1984 appendix - somewhere around the 36:00 mark - and he looks to Echo Charles hoping he’ll mirror the passion - but Echo seems like he’s trying to remember if he set the DVR to record Big Brother. 😂😂😂 You guys are both awesome!
Thanks Jocko. We need your voice on this topic.
Strategically speaking out without spelling out current events is exactly why I listen to this podcast. Epic.
to be honest im disappointed that he didnt speak about the insurrection attempt.
The world has woke up a beast.
There are a lot of us. We’re fuckin pissed. Current and former military SOF especially. All the enlisted are conservative. Half the officers. Take heart. Self improve get involved locally. Ensure local elections. Ensure liberty minded Good GOD fearing people are your local representatives and door knock. Or run yourself. It’s long past time good people stand up.

@@CodeRed1991 Believe he meant Jocko!
1984 and the Gulag Archipelago are two VERY poignant reads these days. Even the first part of the Gulag gives a shocking description of how easily people were thrown into the meat grinder and how little choice they had.
I don't think people understand just how slippery of a slope we are on (or how far down that slope we are).
Yes!!!! Just finished reading this book and man, is it ever spot on and relevant in so many ways right now.
I JUST finished reading 1984 again, on the 5th. So many warnings in that book and in history, so many oblivious today, so many trying to limit the use of words and suffocate ideas... all for power.
echo: there is a show called big brother too
jocko: is it about a disstopion future
im dying :D
Lmao echo. Please echo read the book asap. Current events will become to make more sense.
Dystopian*
Funny thing my wife used to watch that show every year when it came on TV and I told her it was a show to train your mind to become accustomed to the thought of having cameras in your home and being watched 24/7, also the players on the show can't leave the house at least not till you loose.
dystopian my bro, but yeah jocko is no joke.
I like where EC says there's challenges, and Jocko asks if they fight... 😂😂😂
THAT would be AWESOME!
Bill burr last year was talking about how the imperfections in a live recorded stand up comedy is better than a well polished edited special.
It's nice to hear someone with Jocko's credibility speaking on important matters (albeit in generalities). The real question is, are people like him ready to take the leadership role they know deep down needs to be taken? The people will follow, but at the present no one is willing to make that leap of faith. Me, I'm just an average tradesmen. Someone like Jocko? There'd be an immediate impact for the better.
If you’re alluding to armed conflict, then i think you’re misguided.
If only Jocko would take a leadership role by making podcasts, writing books and doing his best to influence a generation of men to create freedom in their lives through discipline.
@@islas357
No. Why would I advocate for something I myself wouldn't participate in? I'm an open advocate of seperation. It's the only solution I think actually can work if and only if there's mass pressure put on politicians at the local and state level to make it happen. Don't get me wrong, I do believe it's going to happen one way or another. Approximately half the population thinks the government is illegitimate and that they're unrepresented, and is openly antagonistic towards them. Hard to argue with the last point at least. Add in a bad economy and a powder keg of a social climate? I just think at this point, seperation is the solution that will cause the least amount of bloodshed.
@@LibertyJefferson splitting up sounds simple...like a divorce or something. It’s far more complex and dangerous. When one side wants the other side silenced, “cleansed” and the others “children taken away and taught”, you realize their intents have nothing to do with letting us alone and split. We are already split 50 ways. They want their will put over us. Think they wouldn’t invite common enemies to fight a fledgling conservative nation? Think they would even allow a separation in the first place? Their goal has never been peace. He is being a leader by exposing us to ideas. We should do the same with others:Talk. We all have things to lose. We stay silent and we lose it all in time. With understanding,
@@JohnDoe37892
I understand where you're coming from. I wholeheartedly believe what you say is the case, and what's implied is coming with it. I also never said it wouldn't be dangerous or complex. You know as well as I do though that the will to take hard action is not there on a scale that matters. People are too complacent, ignorant and comfortable. The will to seperate though, is already there, and is a hell of a lot more palatable. We should also all take charge of our own lives and try to be leaders in our own right. But you also know that we will need someone with a large following to take a stand and shock the normies and give a chance for anything effective to manifest. Jocko could be someone that could do that.
Cowboys statement/warning near the end of the podcast was profound. The living History, your podcast presents has so much value. Thank you for doing this.
Love the inscription on the Korean War Memorial- Freedom is not Free.
The shirt could say "don't let america become double plus ungood"
Hahaha. Perfect.

I love how tactfully Jocko expressed his concern, it ensures that we will be able to listen to the podcasts decades from now and it will still ALL be relevant. Being too topical shrinks the perspective.
this is one of your best podcasts and its lesson is long over due. In America 🇺🇸 we expect freedom by default that ultimately we take it for granted. "Freedom is not free" its a cliche but never the less a fact of life. I think deep down inside its one big reason why so many volunteer for the US armed forces. Freedom isn't free. Thank u for all your podcast and your support of fellow devil dogs 🐶. Your are truly are an officer and a gentleman 👍🏻

That conversation they were having about music and the percussion being too perfect reminds me of the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. It essentially means that in art, the beauty is in the imperfections.

I hope everyone is thinking about these issues in a nuanced way and seeing other people as human. See your fellow Americans as neighbors. Yes, there are some Orwellian overtones going on but both the liberals and the conservatives are calling each other evil.

Yeah. That went out the window with block buttons and banning on the behalf of the offended....

It’s about time Jocko. Better late than never. Glad you see it is time to publicly stand up for truth of where we are. So much blood was spilled for our freedom, it is now or never to save the Republic that you and so many fought for.

This is something I've been saying needs to happen.
Much respect for you guys. ✊
Love you Jocko! ❤️❤️ I wouldn’t mind voting for you in 2024
Vote.... pfft. hah. If they can steal it from Trump while he’s in office there is no chance they would allow someone truly squared away to win after they have four years to really get their cheating in order
@@JaradLB somehow I think you overestimate Jocko’s willingness to roll over and play dead.
JaradLB the election was not stolen from trump, he mislead you with lies.
@@jonr2268 no it was stolen
JaradLB nope, that’s an evidence free claim. Failure to perceive reality is one of the biggest threats America faces today, as it can radicalize people to take violent actions like we saw on 1/6. Trump had over 60 court cases to prove his case and he never alleged fraud in a single one (since intentionally lying in a court of law will get any lawyer disbarred).
Based on Jocko's objective analysis and how he is communicating it, each extreme (left or right) would think he was talking about the other. I believe that he is talking about both extremes, as each would have everyone adopt their ideology.
Divide and conquer
I think he’s thinking about communism in particular however yes this applies to the far right as well
Snap, thank you for sharing. The clear confusion. Keep me in the Unknown known of the known unknown.. Its nice talking again with you both.
Stumbled on jacko today, love it, working from home and watched podcast after podcast, multiple comments. Great vids
Needed that, reminded me I'm not the only one concerned about tyranny after lockdown 3 here in engsoc oceana.
Nice reference.
Lockdown is tyranny. Disease is freedom.
I feel like this episode would have been a lot more valuable had Echo Charles read the book first.
Perhaps. Though maybe some who had never read the book themselves might find it nice that they aren’t the only ones. Plus it kind of makes jocko get more into detail because he has to fully explain it to his co-host and in turn the audience.
You are amazing, Jocko! From an English teacher in Germany.
Ya know with what's going on in the U.S. today I'm really glad there is Jocko and Echo Charles and others like them who are level headed and patriotic to say the least that have the hind sight of engagement in battle/ serious situations and could definitely (lead) a revolutionary/militia with surety and excellence!!
What has me concerned is the number of people I've seen online discounting the message of the 1984 and simply chalking it up to fiction.
The useful idiots. Or as Winston called them, the 'good thinkers'.
I love freedom and 🇺🇸, and I love freedom of speech and I am agains the big tech imposition of individual freedoms. But as a black man something that has worried me in the past and I find it difficult to reconcile is the fact that American history is marred by people who in the same breath uttering freedom, where open and encouraged the enslavement and total lack freedom of others. I know it’s in the past and we have to move on but this evokes a certain degree of mistrust that is concerning . Watch their actions not theirs words. God bless America..
I appreciate your perspective and your mistrust. This country faced this very tension you speak of in the 1860s and fought a bloody Civil War to move the realization of human liberty forward. Then 100 years later, Dr. King & other civil rights leaders fought another kind of war to move America forward again, closer to its professed ideals. We as a nation need to keep moving towards freedom, not regress away from it into a totalitarian state. The federal government, big tech, the media, big pharma, academia, etc. are all working against our unalienable rights. We the people are being divided from one another along every conceivable fault line. Divide and conquer. We must unite behind the cause of liberty in spite of our differences.
Got the notification and I’m feeling hyped to listen
I really appreciate what you said in during the first 11 minutes of the podcast.
What happened at 1:35:54? Also, upper right corner says 261:JKOPOD, should be 263. 818 area code in SoCal created in 1984...
Stop watching on CZcams and go to his website and listen. On his platform he says the email he refers to after they return. I think its assistance at Jocko underground .com. but verify that yourself
Do we ever preserve freedom through violence ? Please Jocko , explain the dichotomy !
If you dont fight tyranny then you will loose your freedom. If you let others taje away whats yours then you loose your freedom. You can choose either live and die standing or live submitted forever
Research what the tree of liberty is watered by
Damn right we do! Sometimes, violence IS the answer....
A friend of mine once told me that violence never solves anything. I turned to her and said, "It solved World War 2." She stopped talking to me after that.
@@ChristiantrospectiveGamer its funny yet annoying coz people do act that way irl oh so often
Absolutely tremendous 11th-grade English literature taught by Jocko. Tiger striple camo is also my new favorite color.
Serendipitous timing on this one. Good on you Jocko.

@@MM-eo2oz wrong.
I swear I saw jocko’s ears doing deadlifts with those headphones at one point.
Jocko, your internal thoughts are correct. Everyone is feeling it but most need a leader. As I have written you before, you have the gravitas to fix things. I understand you not want to. Just don't wait to long. The other side is making huge strides.if you want to stay on the back lines, I understand. I will take the point if need.
What is your definition of 'the other side'?
I'm not even religious, but thank GOD or whatever you believe in, for you and your voice Jocko. We need your voice, loud and uncensored. Along with Jordan Peterson.
