Don't get me wrong. It's useful to read, for instance, some of the early expressions of the ideas, especially about these guys' fear of fathers. But two things always seem to be missing from these articles.
One is a real sense of history, which would include the knowledge that this process has indeed happened before. You can read about it in ancient Rome and Greece, and probably elsewhere: Prosperity makes people generally soft and undisciplined, allows men to forego the strenuous life of war and work, tempts women to lose their focus on family life, and lowers the social cost of immorality of all kinds.
The other missing element is what we should do about it. Are there measures that can be taken? Pointing to a conspiracy may be part of it, but if these people understand the levers of society so well, which ones should be pulled now, and by whom?
I personally do believe there are answers to these questions—after all, this problem is a perennial one of history—but I want to see someone stick his neck out with a plan of action.
What to do about it? Fight back in a million small ways. No one can do all of these, but I’ll start with ten or so.
1. Run for school board.
2. Alternatively, be a thorn in the side of you school board.
3. Unapologetically believe in traditional values and say so.
4. Get involved in the arts and/or encourage your children to do so.
5. Go see movies that uphold traditional values.
6. Go see plays that uphold traditional values.
7. Join groups that are seeking to preserve the works of great classical artists.
8. Get involved in a place of worship and steer them toward following the law of God and away from corrupt values.
9. Let companies that profit off the wrecking of traditional values that you will no longer support their business.
10. Get involved in local government.
11. Teach your children good manners and traditional values.
12. Don’t send tuition money or donations to schools that have embraced corrupt values.
13. Send tuition money and donations to schools that haven’t done so.
14. Give to organizations that stand up for traditional values.
15. Encourage others to stand up for traditional values.
That’s a start. I’m sure other freepers can add a few more.
