THE “I THINKS” OF WHY WE LOST
I think the pill, abortion, ending liability for the interference in a marriage, enacting involuntary marriage (common law marriage, state imposed marrage), no fault divorce, common property, alimony, and child support, especially child support for non-biological children was a catastrophe and there is no escaping it.
I think giving women the vote without giving them a separate lower house of government was a catastrophe because women think speak and act (and vote) against responsibility in everything they do – despite that our civilization’s success is almost entirely cauased by our maximization of individual responsibility in exchange for individual rights. Multi-house government exists to produce and test concurrency between the regions and classes. We neede another house for the sexes. This would create a market for the production of commons that preserved the interests of the minority (productive men in this case) from mob rule (women).
I think introgression of women into the workforce displaced men from the more family-friendly jobs more than added a contribution, and then offshoring male jobs displaced those displaced. Immigration has only exacerbated that problem dramatically.
I think all productivity contributed by women’s addition to the workforce has been consumed by increases in taxation. An I know for certain that it’s destroying our rates of reproduction necessary to maintain benefits and services.
I think we misunderstand our failure to make good use of and prevent bad use of fiat currency, and we tend to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think the abuse of the pretense of eternal growth to rely on intergenerational redistribution via the benefits system, instead of using the singapore method of saving and investing is the bigger problem. I think interest on consumer purchase of capital like homes and durable goods is a crime. (I’m correct). I think taxation that’ contributed to the general pool and isn’t itemized as expense, debt, and repayment, is a crime.
When I say “I think” It really means “I know”. 😉 I’m just being polite. 😉
