Killing Us Softly: The Battle for the Future of Civilization

Dying civilizations have a few things in common. One of the most significant is the progressive devaluation of human life and elevation of pleasure over the social responsibility to reproduce.Without a “go forth and multiply” mindset, societies once proud and dominant will whither and decay. Ruling the world is a constant battle to rule the future. The nations that value life, but more importantly, the nations that understand the connection between respect for human life and numerical strength, will rule the future.Rome was destroyed not only by Goth invaders, but by its refusal to reproduce in sufficient numbers to repel invasion.

America must value life, or the last best hope of mankind will fall, creating a power vacuum in which those anti-freedom elements with the highest levels of reproduction will gradually assume control of western institutions. Islam has already achieved effective control over European nations with high levels of immigration from Islamic states, displacing the local population and installing Sharia law in once peaceful communities. The militant Islamic “call to prayer” rings out every morning over Oxford, England.

This is not something to push until tomorrow. This is a problem to address today.

To quote Bob Dylan, “The times, they are a changin’.” No longer the staunch defender of human life of past decades, America is fast becoming a nation that worships death as a “right.” Nations that trod this path eventually prey on their citizens, gradually but consistently extending the newfound “right to die” to more and more categories of people, until death is viewed as the consummate answer to life’s problems. America has joined in a deadly embrace. There is still hope, however, because those who remember America’s true form are still living and can reclaim America’s true identity.

John is calling for more copulation.

Also:

The giving over to a Caesar figure and the apathy of a formerly, civically energetic populace ... As Oswald Spengler describes....

We are, as of now, hitting all the markers.

Almost complete drivel. By its logic the third world should be ruling us today. The truth is the exact opposite, it has always been relatively small groups that rule the world.

The vast majority want to be sheep.

[Psalm 144]

It is a good article. The results will flow.

As societies become more affluent it makes less and less financial sense to have children. And yet, there are those who despite the economic disadvantages wish to multiply. These folks seem to also be more religious than their more hard-headedly economic compatriots.

My theory is that we are going to start seeing a leveling off of the population, and maybe even a decline. However, as time goes on the people that want to have babies will start to outnumber those that don't. Those people, and their children, will tend to have all of the characteristics shared by those who enjoy the challenge of bringing up children: courage, respect, loyalty, concern, love, etc.

So we will be going through a bleak period, but I believe we will come out of it a better and more spiritually healthy people.

That is so long as we can keep the post-apocalyptic zombie hoardes at bay.
