“Let me be clear: the Groypers, the antisemites, do not speak for men, for Gen Z men, or for the original Christians—Catholics. We in Gen Z see with clear eyes that antisemitism is wrong. Christ came to save sinners, of whom I am the worst. My need for the sacrifice of our blameless victim, the person who is one essence with God the Father, Yeshua HaShem, is clear, and for that, I ask for mercy.”
– Theron A. Bassett II
Theron Bassett is a Gen‑Z cradle Catholic—a Christian who respects both the Eastern and Roman rites, Constantinople and Rome, Orthodoxy and the Latin Church. He supports synodality, opposes political extremism, and defends the patriarchy of the family unit as a responsible, prudent liberal who embraces classical liberalism rather than progressivism or conservatism.
Critics call him a walking contradiction; supporters say he is what a liberal is supposed to be: anti-populist, pro‑institutionalist, and a patriarchal voluntarist.
Bassett established Improve or Death LLC in August 2019 after briefly experiencing homelessness as a young adult in his late teens, enlisting in the service, and later facing a second short period of homelessness in his early twenties while being a reservist in the service and managing mechanical vending machines.
