Alright gents

Per today’s meetup, here’s what we discussed, plus some further thoughts I’ve had:
1. Strict adherence to an ideology will probably cause division and acrimony. For that reason, let’s avoid making the constitution too ideology-based.
2. However, at an informal level, we should welcome ideological debates, as a method for sharpening our own debating skills or challenging cherished notions that we hold.
3. For the purposes of vetting new members, we still need to have some means of ensuring they are a good fit for the group.
4. The 3 main things we thought would be good to filter out undesirables have been suggested as:
(A) rejection of cultural Marxism and all that it entails (feminism, socialism).
(B) supremacy of the traditional family unit
(C) acknowledgment of the general benefits of traditional Christian values in society
5. Perhaps not everyone will be fully aware of all aspects of cultural Marxism, but so long as they understand the big ones, that’s OK.
6. A 4th point for filtering candidates and the constitution would be an understanding that not all members come from the same ideological background, and that we expressly wish to avoid this causing division
7. At the same time, we are aware of the tendency of the tendency of institutions to ‘slide left’, and we expressly want to prevent this from occurring.
8. The constitution must reflect that we are first and foremost a ‘brotherhood’, seeking to assist and support each other in an increasingly insane world.
9. Political activism is extremely important to give us tangible goals, but is secondary to the brotherhood concept.

Please all contribute.
