Socail welfare is evil [quotage]

Most days, at work, I fill in a sickness benefit form. I don’t do this because it is a good thing for the people I work with. I do it so they can eat: the unemployment rate in NZ runs at around six percent, but if you have psychosis your chances of holding down a job is around one in five.

I am a New Zealander: we have had some form of safety net since the 1880s. It was not that great. If you lived on the pension or the dole, you had barely enough to survive, and you were shamed. Most men would rather do anything.

So, before I talk about the consequences, two family stories.

When my father was a young man, his father was working a very poorly paid job. He suggested that he quit and take unemployement benefit. My grandfather looked at him with contempt. He said he would never take charity: he worked until he retired, and lived within the family until the dementia took him. I should add that my grandfather deeply loved his son and grandchildren.

When I was in late primary school, and just before Britain joined the EU, the policy in New Zealand changed, where benefits were increased with the aim that all people could take part in society. My mother came back from a church meeting, where the local Island ladies — most of whom were working cleaning jobs, while their husbands worked in factories or doing labouring jobs — said this was very wrong, and it would destroy their society.

But it happened, and the consequences are among us.

One of the worst things about black culture in America is the pavlovian effect their matriarchy has instilled in its members. Black America is in the advanced stages of a matriarchy (oddly enough, a common form of social structure in fertile regions of Africa and Southeast Asian islands).

The people live easy lives picking fruit off trees. The women fornicate with the most masculine (aggressive, powerful, etc.) men. The least aggressive men build things and perform chores in hopes of being rewarded with the possibility of sex. Sound familiar?

The neo-reactionary position would be wondering whether this can be reversed in the US by removing perverse incentives or whether genetics will seal the fates of blacks in the US (it’s the thugs misunderstood youth that have been passing on their genes, after all).

If people think modern white culture poorly rewards hard-working passive men, it’s a billion times worse in the black sphere. Most of my male black friends are mild-mannered and work in IT. They’re all single and have had worse luck than any other demographic of men I can think of when it comes to getting a girlfriend and/or wife. In the black acropolis (would it be crass of me to refer it as a Negropolis?), if you haven’t bedded a woman by 14, your chances of reproducing with anybody are slim.

Fourteen? You are joking. Young godly women, find those men in IT, and wife them up: geeks generally make good, if not thrilling, husbands. They will care for you. provide for you and not beat you. Until this matriarchal system took over and excitement became the main criteria for marriage, that would have sufficed. Not any more, because the social welfare system is structured in such a way to mitigate child poverty — particularly for single women who make bastards — and this puts a lot of men (who used to make their life’s work raising a family) out of the running.

First, note that, according to Harper, Tyrone is just as smart as Harper’s classmates at Harvard – he just didn’t have the chance to further his formal education; and second, note that Tyrone owns a condo and likes to travel – clear and present signs that, if he’s not quite pulling down six figures, is in any event doing quite well for himself, and is therefore far from eking out a just-above-the-poverty-line existence. Indeed, Tyrone could be making MORE money than many of the ostensible White Collar Professional Sistas who’ve turned their noses up at him(!), with a fraction of the debt load to boot.

And yet, Tyrone remains on the shelf, so to speak.

Note as well, Harper’s mentioning that Tyrone is “solid” and “level-headed” – something else that, when such conversations obtain about “Blue Collar Brothas” tends to go unsaid. My point in all of this, is that Tyrone defies all the stereotypes about such Brothas – he’s industrious; he’s honest (a trait that correlates strongly with being “solid” and “level-headed”); he seems to have an interest in, at the least, long(er) term relationships, if not marriage (note how Tyrone said that the ladies weren’t “serious” about him “at the end of the day”); and while we don’t know his views on theology, given that he is Black, we can safely assume that he is at the very least not antagonistic against religion (after all, one is hardpressed to find many avowed Atheists who are Black). In short, Tyrone embodies the Founding Virtues that Murray presents as the key building blocks that have made the American Project possible. Nor is Tyrone alone.

Yet, by his own admission, none of Harper’s lady friends were interested in Tyrone.

Paula Bennett, Minister of Social Welfare (NZ) and solo mother

You see, if you have a child, you can be on the benefit. This destroys society. Now, locally, our minister of social welfare (Paula Bennett) has cut the number of years you can be a solo mother and not be either seeking a job or in education way, way down. This has led to a whole pile of hatred from the left.

I will note that the longer John Key (whose mother was a Polish-Jewish refugee, who raised him as a widow) is in power the more he is portrayed in a manner akin to Fascists or Arab-lovers (but I repeat myself) portaying the Jewish “menace”. But our actions have consequences. If we discourage men to be involved in families — by allowing women (who are the gatekeepers to sex) to choose any man without financial or physical consequences, while at the same time making divorce so easy that any woman can destroy their spouses life, at any time, for any reason… men will go elsewhere, and the consequences to society is dire.

A few days ago, we went to a cute, little beach on the Chesapeake Bay. The kids were frolicking in the water and the seagulls were squawking, and I settled in with a good book. Ah… this is what summer’s all about.
And then I hear them, as it’s impossible to not overhear them. They make sure of it. They’re dressed in barely-there bikinis, long hair, and covered in tats, walking along the beach, spouting the most vile, expletive-laden speech. Bitch, fuck, nigga please. Girlish laughter interchanged with discussions of who they’ve beat up lately.
I wouldn’t say that the majority of younger women act like that here, but I will say that they’re a large and growing — and very vocal and aggressive — minority. I see them at the mall and at the grocery store. I hear them on the walking paths at the park and sitting behind me in movie theaters. The media is full of them. I have one in my own family (or had, as I chased her out of the house last night and called the cops on her), and I’m still at a loss to explain how she got there, other than a general culture of permissiveness and attention-whoring that feeds into that disgusting behavior.
I live a thoroughly middle class life and I can’t get away from them. It’s an epidemic. At this point, Sodom and Gomorrah would be an upgrade. But don’t worry. These women aren’t suffering for a date and their children will grow up to be model citizens.
What is good and true — that is the gospel and living according to gospel principles in life and especially in marriage — yield positive results for everyone regardless of their race or ethnicity. And there is a fair amount of self-deception going on amongst many in the SWPL set who believe that they can set fire to the system and not be burned. To wit, much of the dysfunction and disorder that is increasingly evident (and that we discuss on this blog) in relationships among the UMC White crowd has been present for quite a while amongst Blacks. The only difference is that the relatively larger base of wealth and social capital has hidden the decline a bit more. As marriage rates continue to decline among Whites and fatherlessness increases, expect to see more dysfunction there as well. It’s already happening as we can see among ‘chav’ culture in the UK. Uncivilized behaviour isn’t a race thing since after all the ancestors of most American Whites were marauding tribes of raiding barbarians until they encountered the ‘civilized’ Greco-Roman society. It is the result of a collapse of incentives toward better behaviour.

Many Black men have been red pill for a long time (MGTOW before there was such a thing).
When the incentives for marriage and family are undermined, men will opt for the easier route — GTOW, or PUA’s. The result is societal chaos. Why are so many Black men in jail? Usually can be traced to fatherlessness in the home. Why fatherlessness in the home? Usually because the woman was fully ‘empowered’ to kick him out. And the cycle continues.

Now, the trouble with welfare is that what was charity becomes a right, an entitlement. That men do not work, and the old proverb about the devil finding work for idle hands rings all too true. If you incentivise evil behaviour, or lazy behaviour, or being a thug, a playa, or a slattern, that is what you will get that.

Consider for a second the Maori. In New Zealand, where they have access to a significant amount of government help (My son is scathing. A couple of classmates who are “whiter than you, Dad” have managed to get full scholarships to University because of putative Maori blood — and he has refused to access scholarships he could get as a descendant of those Chinese who paid head taxes because he does not want to do a degree in Chinese History. For those who do not know, I glow in the dark.

In New Zealand, Maori are very disproportionately in jails, in the gangs, in the lower socioeconomic classes. But in Australia… no New Zealand citizen can get welfare. And the Maori, like most New Zealanders, are seen as hard working and inventive, although the snark from the Kiwi SWPL crowd has to be read to be believed.

[I have a soft spot for Bogans. For Guidos. For Chavs. Most of them work: most of them are from poor suburbs. I grew up among them -- but as a geek, I preferred FIATs to Holdens or Fords, and Jazz to AC/DC. Still do. But they generally work, they generally look after "the missus" and they generally raise their kids to be hard working and honest. And if and when his society falls, they will remain].

We need charity. We need to take responsibility for our families — which takes time and money. If we let the state run this — they will take control, and we will end up without balls, spine or heart, needing propaganda to be fruitful without gonads, courageous without a notochord, and loving without a circulation.

Finally, we should learn from Greece. They have found out that they cannot afford a universal and generous pension scheme. We cannot either. That which cannot continue indefinably, will not.
