How to Destroy a Civilization

Perhaps the best way to destroy a civilization is to destroy its past. Islamism (radical and militant Islam) is doing this today - like they have in the past - by brute force in using blunt instruments such as sledge hammers, power tools, and tractors to deface, shatter, and bury thousands of years of history belonging to ancient peoples such as the Assyrians. Killing the descendants of historic people and/or scattering them to the ends of the earth completes the process of annihilation. Once a people are uprooted from their native lands, are assimilated into other cultures, and forget their indigenous language, their uniqueness as a people is ended and their civilization is dead. Exceptions only occur if the newly transplanted people don’t assimilate into the new culture, which explains why Jews throughout the centuries have always kept their distinct identity (and why they have been targeted throughout history because of their differences). This method of killing a civilization is rather straightforward and should be rather obvious to everyone. Now why Western powers and the UN in the modern age allow ethnic cleansing, genocides, and other civilization-destroying methods is another matter, but they do and they are.

There is an alternative and completely novel method to destroying civilizations being employed today. This way is not as intuitive and is more subtle than the brute-force method; maybe we could call it ‘the surgical method’ for reasons that will become clear. It is no less than the destruction of the bond between a man, a woman, and their children: the family. Sundering the family unit in order to reform society is nothing new. Plato realized this and sought in his Republic to take children from their parents

so he could build the kind of utopian society he was looking for. It’s also what Aldous Huxley created in his dystopian Brave New World. But those are books; the reality is actually playing out now. In order to advance to the next chapter of the sexual revolution, marriage must be annihilated. Incidentally, the whole same-sex marriage fraud is part of the plan: the elites pulling the strings want complete sexual license and marriage interferes with that, and redefining marriage further weakens the institution and therefore gets these elites closer to their goals.

Marriage is judgmental. It implies that sex has a meaning, a purpose, and an end. And it does. The ‘end’ are children, and children help to bring meaning and purpose into their parents lives. No matter how research data is sliced and diced, it is unambiguous that children raised with their biological mother and father fare better (and usually much better) than those raised any other way (one parent, divorced and remarried, gay parents, etc). This should be intuitive. No one has more at stake for the welfare of their children than those who beget them, children have a representative role model in mom and dad to model themselves on, and children feel most secure with their natural parents. But common sense and evidence be damned because we are careening toward

a brave new world. Since it isn’t “fair” that marriage be limited to a man and a woman, it needs to be opened up to anyone and everyone, no matter how absurd and ridiculous their “loving” relationship is. Therefore, out go the meaning, purpose, and end of sex and in come feelings (and irrationality). Marriage only based on a “loving commitment” to another person will result in neither marriage nor commitment, but in mockery and absurdity. It will collapse because marriage will be meaningless: which is exactly what sexual liberationists want. Once the floodgates are open the water will rush in. The adults will end up desperately splashing around but it’s the children who will drown without any a true family structure.

The breakdown of the family has been going on for a long time, but completely redefining the family is more recent. It started with the pill and no-fault divorce but has advanced to children being designed in the laboratory. And this is the ‘surgical method’ I earlier referred to. While ISIS is using front loaders to topple artifacts from ancient peoples, secularists are on the brink of using science to create human beings without any history or heritage. I cover this in my story The Third Adam on this blogsite. Since certain new ‘marriage’ arrangements can’t conceive of children in any natural way, they are turning to the laboratory to conceive children for them. Therefore, thanks to science, same-sex couples may eventually get (but never beget) children who are genetically related to both of them, but only because sex-cells of one of them would have to be induced to become cells of the opposite sex (is sexual complimentarity really that hard to understand?). However, where the genetic chaos is

really going to happen is in applying recombination techniques. Combining genetic material from multiple males and females to create a unique human being with some traits from all of them is underway. As a matter of fact, Britain’s parliament just approved such techniques. These laboratory children, many of whom will be nurtured in surrogate wombs, will be the true orphans of society. They may not have any actual mother or father or even be raised by those they have the closest genetic link to (if any). They will be designer children created for the pleasure of the elites and because scientists want to push new boundaries. They will be a disaster, perhaps not because of the science and technology after it is perfected (assuming it is) but because these children have been ripped from the natural condition of man. They will have nowhere to root themselves. They will not have a mother and a father. They will not have a heritage, or a culture, or any true self-identifying markers. There will be no one like them in the whole world. This latter point is true for all of us in that we are all unique individuals, but the rest of us have family, genetic markers, and family trees to help us on our journey to self-identification. The laboratory children will have very little to nothing to help orient them in this world, for their genetic markers will not have natural counterparts. The disservice to these people, however, will go beyond their need to self-identify. It will be a hard enough struggle if they know their origins while being raised in a traditional and stable family or even learn about their ‘history’ later in life, but as products of science experiments who will be viewed more as products than a persons, many will not be raised in a best-case family environment and will be further alienated.  

Laboratory children will not replace the natural way of creating children anytime soon, if ever (Brave New World notwithstanding). But what is most disturbing about Western society at large is the ongoing onslaught against the traditional family and the separation of sex from procreation. According to Daniel P. Goldman in his book How

Civilizations Die, most civilizations do not appear to have disappeared after being overrun and destroyed by their enemies but because they stopped reproducing and became decadent…then they got overrun and destroyed by their enemies. What is important here is what happened first: the corruption of society. In many cases societies appear to have stopped reproducing because they were busy chasing their decadent pleasures and wanted to avoid responsibility. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Europe has essentially stopped reproducing. They are all below replacement level and will collapse without immigration. And they’re getting them. Unfortunately for Europe their immigrants do not want to assimilate and, unlike their hosts, they are reproducing. Their Islamic culture will completely dominate their host’s culture within a number of decades, and they will become the heirs to Europe’s cultural treasures. Sooner or later they will treat them with the same care and reverence they are caring for the Assyrian’s cultural treasures. All I can say is that I’m glad I’m alive today so I can enjoy them while they last.

The United States currently has a different trajectory in that its population is stable. It’s growing more Hispanic, but it’s stable. The greatest threat within America is decadence, often in the form of the liberty to do any and all things sexual with whomever they want, wherever they want, however they want, and whenever they want without consequences - in other words, unrestrained sexual license. The family has to go because it cramps their style, but in order to get there they need to remove one barrier at a time. It really is an elitist issue. Their access to sexual license means the degradation and impoverishment of working class Americans. How so? The destruction of the family. It started in the 1960’s with the sexual revolution (the pill, abortion, easy divorce) and has moved on to “marriage equality”. Up to this point the elites of society have weathered the storm rather well in maintaining stable marriages, but the working class has been devastated…and they are the vast majority of Americans. Failed families will increasingly affect the viability of this county. In his

interesting and important book, Coming Apart, Charles Murray spells all this out in a lot of detail. One would think that, armed with clear data, our politicians would do their utmost to shore up traditional marriage. But no. There is an agenda to fulfill, and while the world burns due to Islamic violence the people of the United States rise up because of a religious liberty law the governor of Indiana signed that might, just might, discriminate against gays - despite the fact that it is based almost entirely on a federal law and that the same or similar laws are on the books in more than a dozen other states, and there does not appear to be one instance in which it was used against homosexuals. But that’s beside the point. Laws that might protect people of faith get in the way of the agenda. And part of the agenda is, of course, complete sexual license of elitist Americans. The dire consequences of the myopic world view of our radical secular leaders and their supporters who chose to create domestic battles based on the artificial rights of sexual orientation and reproductive “choice” instead of confronting real-world threats to the health and well-being of our nation - whether they be the degradation of the family or jihadi violence - may haunt us sooner than later.

I don’t think American civilization will disappear anytime soon, but our nation might.
