WATCH: The Self-Reliant Way – #SolutionsWatch
Do you feel there is a conspiracy against manhood? Are you struggling to find meaning and purpose in the face of the rigged game that is modern society? Have you given up on life?

I know someone’s going to comment this with “find something else to complain about”. Well, it matters if you don’t belong to the in-group. It’s always the people in the dominant group that claims that language isn’t important. Yet, we wouldn’t say “whiteness is under attack”, or “caucasian heritage is under attack”, “reclaim your whiteness with self reliance”. That would sound racist, and it wouldn’t be strange if that type of statement got comments. It implies that a superficial trait has inherent value and that the group with this trait is the demographic worth talking to.
Great to bring up positive alternatives of living. Though what does this have to do with manhood and masculinity? Isn’t self reliance applicable to the other half of the population? This “being a man” type of talk makes me wonder what it implicates about women.
Whether I can do it or not, I applaud the effort James and Benny.
The biggest problem must people have in life is ‘being told what you feel’. It’s quite incredible how many people don’t ask the simple first question: ‘So how do you feel, Rhys?’ A funeral is a good test of that: this past week was my mother’s funeral, which I organised 99%. Yet three independent women all said, without asking, in effect, that ‘I was feeling weak’. Actually, no, I wasn’t, my mother was 89 when she died of old age, at home. I hadn’t lost my mother as a teenager, I hadn’t lost my mother in a car crash, I had reached a place where it was mum’s time. People who are weak think that people live for ever, that they can’t live without another person etc etc. They just don’t understand that I’ve always been able to live without others if necessary, mostly because several ‘others’ made life in… Read more »
Sorry to hear about your mothers passing.
It brought back memorys reading your comment about how cold the council was in the U.K.
in saying that by not paying £10 it was back then for the death certification, NOTHING could be done without it and it had to be done within a certain time frame or else.
It was an full time job and having to organize everything and send copies of the death certification off to the bank, telephone company, gas, electric, etc etc etc
Awful experience and death gets the older people nervous at the funeral.
It takes nerve to talk like that today, Rhys.
Well said.
So many people obviously do enjoy telling other people how they must be feeling – which is conceivably only a short step away from forcing people to think, feel and act in the way ‘the authorities’ of totalitarian states tell them to.
Not necessarily off-topic, because “Money [like Love] makes the world go round”. An introductory guide to Modern Money:
https://www.fairobserver.com/world-news/where-do-new-dollars-come-from/
“The Money: What it Is, Where it Came From and Where it Went” — Title of book by an economist.
Do we have to read the whole book? Cant you make a short resume on how to make a million?
Usually I paste an extract or write a resume, but this time I read the whole essay. There is nothing new, but it is a well written beginners guide to the theory of money as debt: “One man’s money is another man’s debt”. The only thing that staggered me is the rising tide of private debt compared to government debt. Debt issued by privaate banks on the “credit” (Latin, “belief”) in the solvency of these banks is now much larger and increasing much faster than debt issued by governments on the strength of “credit” (from the Latin “credo”, “I believe in) the solvency of those governments. Governments are now unable to regulate their own currency, because private banks can issue money which is backed by literally nothing — not even by paper money: by nothing but belief in the soundness of the banks that has issued your “credit” by the… Read more »
Yeah I know that derivative circus. Where I live they have started squeezing the elderly out from the housing loan market.
Normally you could loan 80% to or in your property, now lowered to 60% to eat up any saving.
But this is per law maybe via Central Bank. I dont think private banks have much to say. They are tightly controlled from “Financial Stability”.
All right so the book was ordinary stuff :-).
Actual title: “Money: Whence it Came, Where it Went” by John Kenneth Galbraith
Actually, for consistency in the archaic tone, the title should say: “Whence it Came, Whither it Went.”

Self reliance can be hard work, costly to set up and frustrating. Self awareness, on the other hand —
These “JC” videos are generally terrible and the worst thing on off-guardian.
I vote they get discontinued, anyone with me?
They started off with something important to say, back when fewer people were aware of what’s going on, but the delivery has become so annoyingly chirpy – sort of like “Kermit the Salesman Frog” – that it is pretty hard work for British people to find the patience to battle through to the actual content…
I must admit I always skip it now. Sorry, James.
A weekly appointment to discuss solutions is a good idea but the author is not doing much to ignite such a discussion, either because of the format choosed (video instead of article) or because of the way he approaches the topics to be discussed.
But something should be done, for the sake of solutions.
Agreed, but “JC” isn’t the agent who should be assigned to this task.
I agree as well but I don’t see anyone with the williness and the charisma to take on the task. Maybe we should just ignore the article and “occupy” the comments section with a proper discussion on solutions,regardless of the topic suggested by the author. Offg may not be very keen about this suggestion, but finding solutions is our priority at the moment so let’s see what options are left.
The solution to what? The world is going to hell and its your job to repair it, but it never gets overwhelming does it.
You cannot do anything to change anything by discussing “solutions” with random strangers on a public forum. No matter how much they seem to agree with you.
The NWO has come this far by its relentless ability to come up with (conscious or uncoscious) agents who will sabotage any effort to undermine or bypass the NWO.
is it cheating for those self-reliant individuals to have 2 dogs and 3 cats for emotional support and for spreading warmth around the house??!!
Looking for a quick summary I searched “The Self Reliant Way” and lo and behold there’s all sorts of stuff on it. Here’s one from the Berkeley Well Being Center: Self-Reliance: Definition, Examples, & Tips – The Berkeley Well-Being Institute (berkeleywellbeing.com) Here’s one that can make you rich too! Self Made: Becoming Empowered Self-Reliant and Rich in Every Way by Nely Gal+?n (americanbookwarehouse.com) And here’s one using psychology, you can like use reverse psychology and shit like that on yourself and become rich and powerful, and masculine, I guess. What is Self-Reliance and How to Develop It? (positivepsychology.com) The Mormons have one, everyone has one. And this guy, Benny, sounds like Tony Robbins brother: “The best decision I ever made (after marrying my wife) was to make a study of success. When I then made a practice of painstakingly evaluating what thoughts, beliefs, behaviors and actions were propelling me forward… Read more »
Let’s have FUN!?

I want to add that there is something strange going on with that youtube. At time .41 and 3:13 there is a meme hidden.
OMG! Here I’ve lived 79 years and had no idea my manhood was under assault! Thank you James Corbett for letting me know before it was too late to fret over it!
😂
Be vigilant, Howe.
I hate this “self reliant” crap. Most of us live in a city with no way out. Screw you!
Nice point. And if you are old and have no money, this self-reliant crap is even more annoying.
And if you were living as homeless veteran in a park, you would probably use all your military survival skills to strangle this guy.
Even if you live in the suburbs on a standard-sized block it is BS. What, grow all your own vegetables and fruit, knit your own jumpers (and keep a sheep or two), …. ?
Just curious why it’s bullshit? I live in a city and during covid managed to secure about 1/3 acre of land behind a garden centre and am trying to build a community around food but it’s very hard. Majority of people actually don’t want to put in the work when presented with the opportunity and only last a few months then piss of. Life in cities is hard and it’s not going to fall in your lap but have faith the world is unlimited potential and if you really want this it will find you just make sure your ready to put in the actual work. My tomatoes spuds carrots beetroot’s etc all taste nicer than anything I buy in a supermarket Also I’m based in Liverpool and am always looking for more like minded folk to get on board so if your from Liverpool or the Wirral please get… Read more »
My Croatian immigrant grandmother was telling us that during WWII the town in Ohio where they lived was letting people use open land downtown to grow their own food.
She took advantage of it – but none of the locals did.
I am from Liverpool, live in Wyoming. I am going home for the first time since the nonsense started. Gonna talk to my mates about growing their own food . It can be done.
That’s exactly the problem some people here are pointing at.
You live in Wyoming, you can do it.
You live in Liverpool, you can’t.
I live in Liverpool and am currently doing it right now and am happy for anyone to come on board
How many have taken up your offer?
I ask because I’ve witnessed the now long gone resilient old school who saw out WWI & II grow anything edible in large amounts, to a less agile bunch who only care about themselves and wouldn’t dream of starting a collective.
About 15-20 have all been and gone in space of 2 years vegans new age gurus the lot and yes seems most not ready to give up their comfy lives to get their hands dirty unfortunately
Not sure what I can possibly do about chemtrails in the sky or the weather but I know I’m gaining a wealth of knowledge that’s going to be of great benefit to me and my family moving forward
That’s sad to hear, unfortunate but common.
The only thing we can do about the Chemtrails is spread the knowledge where we can. Anyway, good luck going forward. You might be the last family standing if people continue to ignore the obvious.
Well good luck to you. Sincerely.
But can you really grow all your own food?
Many of us city dwellers don’t even have a tiny garden…
You cannot become self reliant- it ‘s a fantasy. You need a large team and and a large plot of land to produce all that is needed for living a healthy life.
The only kind of self -reliance possible is being a hunter gatherer in some sub-tropical hideout if you’re tough and knowledgeable enough about the local plants and animals, but most people wouldn’t make it, physically or mentally.
Get yourself some pots, buckets, grow bags even. A bit of sunshine and some water then watch nature do its thing.
Weather, Chemtrailed or not?, I’m assuming chemtrailed and pissing down.
Good luck anyway. 👍
How self reliant is it when you just grow a few vegetables? What about protein? What about energy to heat your home and run your appliances? Transportation, fuel, clothing? etc.
You sound like you would be great fun at a party. Know nothing about what I’m doing but instantly bringing that negative energy. Quite pathetic really. So since I haven’t got all bases covered just sit and cry online is that your solution? What about we are planning on raising chickens pigs etc we are a small group with most of us running our own business as well. My own business has seen massive growth this past year in 1 this f the biggest recessions in history. With a client donating me a spare solar panel he has left over it’s not much but it’s a start. Like I already said the world is full of unlimited potential. If the parasite class pull the plug on the grid tomorrow I’ll probably struggle like the majority in a few years I feel I will be in a better position than most… Read more »
You are right. Only a few hands, a small group, can make wonders.
A cheap rainwater pump can make miracles. Activated charcoal, cotton and small stone fractions can clean a lot of alu-bots from HARP..
If I didnt lived 1500 km away I would join the team. All the best
This is the best non defeatist attitute I’ve come across on these pages.
Your children will be truly grateful in years to come. 👍
It’s a start.
What about Netflix??
A bourgeois fantasy.
Nice point. How to be self-reliant without money. That’s the book I wanna read.
