“you make it sound like they physically removed the father.....they did no such thing.....these so called “fathers” left on their own.....it was a decision...a life of no responsibility and no inconveniences..”

_______

No, they didn’t remove the fathers physically from the home.

However it was encouraged by the government and made financially beneficial for the family for the father to leave the home. This started in the early 1980s as I recall, or at least that is when I first became aware of it. My husband was laid off from his job, and I was at home with two small children. It was during the recession and he was trying to find side-jobs to bring in money until the company called him back to work.

I went to the local food-stamp office and asked if we could receive assistance with groceries. The lady informed me that first I needed to separate from my husband and have him removed him from the home. They would then give me food stamps (of about $30 bucks per month) and a monthly cash allotment (of about $50) and would file a child support action against him which would result in his wages being garnished (in about six months). Big help there!

I replied “no thank you”, picked up the infant carrier, grabbed the two-year old by the hand, and walked out the door. We managed with the help of my parents and hubby returned to work at his factory job a couple of months later. However, he continued to work side jobs to help us catch up and later found a career that had more stability and provided more income. In our retirement we are financially secure. However, with the Biden economy that’s not a sure thing.

Many mothers took that deal and the fathers were practically thrown from their homes only to return every few days for child visitation and a bit of “whoopie”.

This “government-as-the-caregiver attitude” started taking over the nation as fathers decided they could work under the table and both have their cake and eat it too. Change jobs every few months and the child support garnishment order will never catch up with them. That attitude has only multiplied over the years and people decided it was the government’s job to take care of their children.

“A woman whose car was smashed by people jumping on the windshield said her husband was beaten as he sat in the driver’s seat. He’s been taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.”

Good thing he didn’t fight back or shoot an attacker. He’d be sentenced to 20 years like in Austin, TX.

"how can just 12% of the population cause so much trouble?"

Especially when they're so busy starring in every commercial ever made.

“You make it sound like they physically removed the father....”

That would have been too obvious. Better to incentivise through welfare the fatherless family in an “obvious” attempt to help the poor black people. Knowing all the while that it would make them even more dependent on the government. LBJ: “We'll have them niggers voting democrat for the next 200 years.”

They may have even had enough smarts and treachery to know that it would reach into all segments of society and the destruction of the family (and thus society) with even more increased calls for government to help and control the situation.

No until they show up in the tens of thousands in the suburbs. All for cultural enrichment, of course.

This is why we need “assault” rifles - hordes of brain-dead black youths! Maybe even a Vickers!

Because Democrats need their votes.

Feral people acting like feral animals, roaming in packs and wantonly destroying just for the fun of the hunt.

The last vestiges of civilization are falling from us very quickly.

It begins at home.

Start with a father in the house and one with some kind of character, and a lot of this would fade away.

But since they rare not being raised with any good father images, they don’t know how to father, to the problem is without resolution without a total societal collapse and people being forces back into a lifestyle that demands a lot of sacrifice just to survive or a genuine, powerful move of the Holy Spirit to make genuine believers out of people, ones who would overcome the baggage of their past through His power, and commit to doing what is right.

And at this point, I don’t see that happening. I think we’ve past the tipping point where a revival is likely to happen, and our lack of repentance has put this world on a collision course with the judgment of God in the end times scenarios. With the world doubling down on immorality, perversion, injustice, murder (especially abortion) and mayhem, I think God’s coming judgment is a done deal.

I’ve read a lot of dystopian novels and even those writers have rarely portrayed their dystopian societies as being as bad as ours is becoming.

Looks like it’s a competition between some of the teens and some of the cops...
