That doesn't work.
Read about the paradox of tolerance and then apply that logic to controversy in lieu of tolerance and make sure to account for the present and persistent state of global controversy in which mankind finds itself mired.
Discussion
Iām not trying to control lots of people. We have plenty who will engage in controversy without my help. Those few of us with the sense to stay out of useless fights have more important things to do than contributing to the noise. The soldiers would starve without the farmers and every idiot without self control and a keyboard thinks heās a warrior. We have plenty of garden laborer positions to put the idiots to better use if we could get them. Thatās not the same as burying your head in the sand and hoping it will all go away.
Iām not advocating for rage posting. Iām advocating for saying true things that make people uncomfortable because comfort has become our civilizationās fatal weakness.
The farmer feeds the soldier, sure. But if no oneās willing to defend the boundary between wheat and weeds, youāre just farming for invaders. You can tend your garden. Someone still has to name whatās trying to kill it.
And as a gardener (literal) weeds are not the issue. They are often valuable contributors to correcting the imbalances caused by destructive farming practices like killing anything thatās not the one crop you are trying to grow. Also my comment was not about No soldiers but that we have too many specialized in attacking the other and not near enough building value. A tribe that has to attack its neighbors to feed itself is not contributing to this world by creating more mouths to feed.
Iām not talking about attacking neighbors. Iām talking about defending principles that hold civilization together when the culture actively works to dissolve them.
You can permaculture your way to balance all you want. That doesnāt change the fact that some ideas are parasitic, not symbiotic. Relativism about family formation isnāt a āvaluable weed.ā Itās poison dressed as tolerance.
Building value and defending truth arenāt opposing strategies. Theyāre the same work.
How about I use a real life instance. My dad works for a rental management company. He got a service order from a house with 3 airforce guys to Tighten the screws on a couple cabinet doors. The guys of the āsmartestā branch canāt operate a screwdriver. (Or are too self entitled) I never said anything about No controversy or No soldiers, but a different balance that is not leaving so many necessary jobs unfilled. We have more than enough people saying āthe sky is blueā which is what saying āwe need to have babies to keep the population upā is. If you really think that most people donāt know that then youāve fallen for a psyop. People know and some canāt, some have other purposes, and some donāt care. Most of the last donāt need to reproduce or need the powers that be to stop sabotaging the economy/culture so they can see it being reasonably achievable for them.
PS itās not men that donāt want to have kids. They donāt want to fight the brainwashing of the women they can get on top of all the other challenges. Few men would choose their video games over a decent woman who wants kids.
Your airforce story proves my point. Weāve raised a generation so incompetent they canāt tighten screws. Thatās not a labor shortage. Thatās a formation failure.
āWe need babiesā isnāt obvious anymore. Birth rates are collapsing. The culture celebrates childlessness as liberation. If it were common knowledge, we wouldnāt be watching demographic suicide in real time.
Most opting out arenāt facing insurmountable obstacles. Theyāre facing a culture that made comfort more appealing than continuation.
Your PS is half right. But āI donāt want to fight female brainwashingā is still a choice. Your grandfathers fought actual wars.
Waiting for perfect conditions before building families is how you get extinction with air conditioning.
The Amish are doubling in population every 20 Years. We have other cultural groups that also have high birth rates that are also competent. There are more than 8,000,000,000 people on this planet and still growing. Extinction š we are going through a phase where parts of the culture which are not heading in a sustainable direction are having a birth rate change. We donāt need the population to grow forever. Again I will state that I am still hoping to have a family myself, but we need other things too. In order for the population of the US and Canada to return to pre European estimated population we would have to loose 97% of the population. We were no where near extinct thenā¦
The point is that zero controversy is a no go.
Virtue is couched between two extremes which are vices.
