He basically posits that the leftist's vision of reality (based on unreality) is a drug to them--an addiction that few can escape. They believe the entire game of life is rigged in favor of the rich and socially conservative--ie: the people who work hard and have kids inside wedlock-- and that the only way to make things fair for everyone is to oppose the game and everything it values (elevating the ugly, the lazy and the profligate.) It's basically everything you've been saying (although you tend to blame leftist's actions on sheer laziness, this shows a darker and deeper pathology is at work. A literal form of self-destructive madness.)

ReplyDeleteGet the state out of marriage.
ReplyDeleteA private contract, and if wanted, a ceremony, should be the sum total of marriage.
If a woman does not have a contract before she gets pregnant, she has no support rights.
If a guy gets a woman pregnant without a contract, he has no parental rights.
