Degeneration and wisdom. [Eph 5]

The fools who have run the world for the last two generations — since 1968 until now — have bankrupted the social capital of our society. There is a reason that nationalism is rescendant, for it is natural to love your family and country: the customs, the people and the land. And to be told, over and over, that this is hateful is acceptable until the new people are imported to take over your street and land, and you find that you are deemed subservient.

In my youth the left protested against apartheid (I didn’t: during the Springbok tour I was training for a marathon). Now they want apartheid: better conditions for any one but the european. Martin Luther King famously said that he wanted his children to be judged by their character not the colour of their skin. Now your skin is your uniform, and I pray that there will not be the race war the Left is engineering.

At this time, how should we then live? What is it to live wisely? Two things are clear: fear God, and submit to each other in love for the sake of God.

And if you fear God you will accept that there are differences in roles between men and women, parents and children, and employer and servant. These are functional. You will not try to resurrect again the commune when all are equal. You will play to the strengths of every person, and cover their weaknesses.

Ephesians 5:15-33

15Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, 16making the most of the time, because the days are evil. 17So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, 19as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, 20giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

21Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.

22Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior. 24Just as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives ought to be, in everything, to their husbands.

25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26in order to make her holy by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word, 27so as to present the church to himself in splendor, without a spot or wrinkle or anything of the kind — yes, so that she may be holy and without blemish. 28In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29For no one ever hates his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, just as Christ does for the church, 30because we are members of his body. 31“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32This is a great mystery, and I am applying it to Christ and the church. 33Each of you, however, should love his wife as himself, and a wife should respect her husband.

The greatest advice I have at the moment for anyone is to not fall into this death spiral. To not assume that your identity is all that matters: that you fit into a plantation to be farmed for votes when alive and encouraged to let your vices degenerate you until you slide into a selfish hell of your own making. To ignore those who would enslave you in the narrative approved stereotypes.

This will offend. Young woman, if you love your man, care for him, keep the home neat, feed yourself, him and the children well, and enjoy being a woman, well, the purple hair’d femtrolls will hate you with passion, and try to tell you that you are enslaved, and to be free you need to join them in their cage. If, as a man, you love and lead your wife, you will be called a fascist, a chauvinist, a pig, and that you are abusing your spouse.

Ignore them. Love each other. Let not the narrative in. A functional life is a witness against this age.

Ignore the narrative. Live wisely.
