Are woke German bureaucrats going to redefine the family to include 6 spouses?
by Louis T. March, Mercator:
Robert Ripley (1890-1949) was a one-of-a-kind impresario with a fascination for the far-out. He built an empire reporting the weird, exotic and grotesque through his columns, broadcasts and the “Ripley’s Believe it or Not!” museums, called Odditoriums. People the world over goggled at Ripley’s accounts of the flaky and freakish. Germany’s new family policy fits the bill. Were Ripley around today he would jump on it in a heartbeat.
The basics about the family
First, some honest-to-goodness eternal truths, aka facts:
- The family is society’s basic social unit. Everywhere. One way or another, we’re all born into a family. A nuclear family is a husband, wife and hopefully children.
- The character and conduct of families drive demography.
- When enough families are broken or dysfunctional, society suffers. As goes the family, so goes civilization.
Surely everyone knows that. Or do they? In the oh-so-modern West, we’ve educated common sense out of people. Folks are thoroughly conditioned to spend, consume, wallow in guilt and respond to situations (stimuli) in ways that don’t make sense — think of Pavlov’s dog. That is nowhere more evident than among the “highly educated.”
Higher education is a government-subsidized racket industry; diploma mills thrive. That’s unfortunate, because those highly educated, hubris-heavy, ultra-modern moral relativists who make up the managerial elite running and ruining today’s West are dangerous. Is that alarmist? Is yours truly drifting into tin foil hat territory? Look no further than Germany.
