“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” - James Clear

Complacency is a disposition that is affected by habit. Only in tailoring one's habits to his desired identity, in this case, fighting complacency, can one make progress towards his goals.

That being said, it would be nice if you could share some concrete examples of good daily habits.

To continue off of https://substack.com/profile/280594464-garfrig-frigulhorn/note/c-74246500, fighting an enemy first requires building an identity as someone who fights the enemy. And one’s identity is tied to their habits.

When you go to a store, do you pay attention to who’s manning the stall? Do you research the types of people who work for a company that provides the products you buy?

We live in a society where it’s illegal for an employer to discriminate against a potential hire on the basis of race, sex, etc. However, if you think about it, a customer is kind of like an employer for a business.

The difference between a customer and an employer is that the customer has the right to discriminate against a business for such reasons. The business can’t sue a customer and say, the only reason he didn’t dine with us is because he didn’t like the fact that 90% of our employees are his existential enemies.

That is, at least, American law at present.

Now, you can’t exactly go out and publicly advertise the fact that you discriminate against businesses for such reasons, because even though it’s not against the law for a customer to do that, they can still screw with you in other ways once they single you out as their enemy.

Your goal is to develop the habits of someone who fights the enemy while simultaneously keeping it a secret from your enemies, so that they cannot respond in kind.

This is best reached with passive discrimination. You don’t go out of your way to assail the enemy, but if there’s an opportunity not to give money to your enemy, you take it.

If someone presses you on it, you make excuses. You gaslight. You deprive the enemy of your money and favor as much as you can while simultaneously making it difficult for them to pinpoint your intentions.

And the beauty of this system is that any money that you save, you can then donate to those who fight the enemy on the frontlines.

As Lucas explains in this post (https://substack.com/@lucasgage/p-149916034), the discipline you build from forgoing the benefits of the enemy’s product will build upon the discipline you need to donate 10% of your income (the same habit you should assume your enemy has).

This discipline doesn’t just extend to not giving your enemies your hard-earned money, but it can also extend to avoiding foods associated with your enemy.

If, for instance, your enemy has some positive association with bagels, you can make it a habit not to eat bagels. Not only do you get fitter from avoiding a high-calorie snack, but you deprive yourself of the psychological opening your enemy drills into you with their food.

If you think that’s ridiculous, go on Twitter (or X) and look at the myriad tweets justifying limitless immigration because, “Otherwise, how would we get this authentic shitistani food?”

This is retarded leftwing propaganda, sure, but it also highlights the power that food has in lowering people’s psychological guard. You need your guard up at all times when dealing with an existential threat, so you should be conscious of these tactics.

If you can’t go without bagels, fine. Take it slow. Build up the easiest habits first and go from there.

You’ll save money. You’ll get fitter. And you’ll build an identity and discipline that will make you more resistant to your enemy’s advances.

And this will all be accomplished without compromising your peaceful normie life.
