Paul Weyrich was right about the culture war. Social conservatives are fighting a losing battle — not against a global secular humanist conspiracy, but against the social consequences of the pill, the automobile and the Internet. Short of reversing the industrial revolution, emptying the cities and restoring agrarian society, after the manner of Pol Pot’s communists in Cambodia in the 1970s, the best hope for social conservatives is to retreat to minority enclaves like those of the Amish. On self-created reservations they can raise their children as they see fit, segregated from mainstream culture and visited, perhaps, by morally liberal tourists nostalgic for an older, simpler way of life. And if their fertility is higher than that of the morally liberal majority, they can hope to take over America by strength of numbers — in 500 or a thousand years.& leave natty business, Babylonians!

You lost, the genie is out of the bottle, the clock will not run backwards, the car will not be un-invented, yada, so please, as suggested, fuck off

ReplyDeleteThe problem for them is that, unlike the Amish, they produce nothing- no charming handicrafts, no natural foodstuffs. THey'd be totally S.O.L.

ReplyDeleteMetric fuck-tonnes of bullshit?
Sadly metaphorical, however, & of absolutely no use.
I've always kinda had a soft spot for Weyrich's "two state" solution. The fun part for me would be watching the conservative portion fail so miserably.
ReplyDeleteAnd, ya know, those folks need to hate so badly, it'd only be a matter of time before they turned on each other.
