What Makes SOL Different
At first glance, the Sons of Liberty [SOL] presents very much like a militia. We sport guns and Punisher skulls, we love liberty, and we obsess over training. But beneath the surface, our organization is far more than that.
For starters, SOL isn’t just a militia, we’re a full-spectrum resistance movement. We embrace a warrior culture and train each member for combat, but our organization is structured to develop and employ the strengths and talents of each member and what they’re best suited for in service of the cause. It doesn’t matter if you’re a military veteran, a writer, an accountant, a mechanic, a doctor, an artist, or a professional underwater basket-weaver; the only prerequisite is a faith in freedom and a willingness to fight for it. Our organization will focus on many aspects relevant to effective resistance that will require more than mere soldiers. We’ll need propagandists and journalists, homesteaders and farmers, influencers and networkers, web designers and cyber techs, paramedics, fabricators, pilots, hunters, and the list goes on. All will be trained to fight but their primary function is to modify their talents, skills, and passion to serve the cause of liberty.
Another key difference between SOL and other similar agencies is that we aren’t aligned with any political party or politician, nor do we possess an undying fealty to law enforcement and the military. All too often in America, militias center themselves around the agenda of current political discourse or a chosen demagogue. They often speak of resistance but bow at the feet of the enforcers and perpetrators. The Sons of Liberty remains focused on a singular objective: individual liberty. We combine a religious adherence to the ideal of freedom with a pragmatic philosophy toward strategy. Our enemies are defined by their assault against our sovereignty, but our definition of “friend” is much less defined, and for good reason. Just because we don’t pledge allegiance to parties, politicians, and institutions, doesn’t mean that we can’t find a shared purpose with a specific policy, political agenda, or agency that serves our ends. SOL doesn’t intend to make all agents of the state an enemy by default; every individual, no matter where they are or who they serve, has a daily opportunity to serve the cause of liberty. If they choose to do so, we will fight for them and call them friend.
The structure of SOL provides another example of how we differentiate ourselves. While other resistance organizations are essentially one large collection of individuals, taking orders from the top down, SOL is decentralized in order to promote optimal efficiency and compartmentalization. Once an agency achieves a certain size, it runs the risk of bureaucratic degeneracy if one attempts to micromanage it. The Sons of Liberty is built from the ground up. We empower team leaders to take charge and run their own operations, separate from the central command. Guided by our shared faith and strategy, members of SOL maintain a great deal of autonomy. Consequently, this sort of decentralized structure mitigates the threat of infiltration and informants. We’ve all witnessed what’s become of groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. The feds got inside and tore it apart. With SOL, the best hope for the secret police is the destruction of a particular team, and even that becomes challenging as such a small unit will undoubtedly be intimately familiar with one another and be able to quickly spot a rat.
Perhaps one of SOL’s most important distinctions is that it isn’t just a weekend hobby; it’s a commitment to a lifestyle. Pursuant to the writings of Jack Donovan, the Sons of Liberty manifest the virtues of strength, courage, mastery, and honor. These virtues guide our individual endeavors and daily behavior. These virtues prepare us for the trials and tribulations that one encounters when opposing the status quo. They forge us into men that can stand not only for ourselves, but shoulder to shoulder with our brothers. Every day provides each member with a chance to grow stronger and bolder, to develop their talents and passions, and to achieve a greater sense of self-respect and reverence for their tribe.
Lastly, our ambition doesn’t involve lofty and romantic notions of revolution, insurrection, or any other usurpation. The formulation of SOL’s strategy included countless hours of study and volumes of literature on guerrilla warfare, insurgency, political philosophy, history, and revolution. The conclusion: the overthrow of tyranny is an ineffective means to liberation. This may seem counterintuitive and the line of reasoning supporting this conclusion is too lengthy to deliver here, but in short, severing the head of a tyrant merely releases the demon of power to search for another possession; most likely, the executioner himself. As such, SOL intends to live in the realm of resistance. For it is in the act of resisting tyranny that one remains free from it. Oppressive forces aren’t going away; the quest, at least as it concerns the free man, is how to remain free in an unfree world.
Hopefully, you can now perceive SOL with a greater clarity and perhaps find some common ground. You may have heard the name before or read about it in history class but now the Sons of Liberty are back. SOL isn’t a new brotherhood; merely an awakened one. As a consequence of unchallenged infringements, SOL has been revived. Are you with us?
