Good question. I think feminism/egalitarianism. But more so because of the larger issue it is couched within, that if the fragmentation of the household.

Everything else I listed is, in some sense, downstream of healthy, in tact, integrated, faithful, and productive households. Households have, until the industrial revolution, been the economic and cultural engines of civilization. They are, as many Puritans saw them, little churches. They are the primary place where life, work, and education happened for ages. They are the lifeblood of local communities.

Feminism didn't cause the fragmentation and degradation of the home, and by extension, the rest of society, but it has perpetuated and accelerated it.

As goes the household, so goes the world.

If I can read the article, I'll share some thoughts. Thanks for posting.

What are some things you think people are brainwashed about?

Many of those issues you mentioned.

Particularly the destruction of the greater family unit. The Clan, the Great House.

The ruling class has long feared their own banner-men; they needed and feared the different Clans in their own territory. They feared the Great Houses in their own lands. They feared the people living in real community. Most of all, they feared those communities uniting together.

Before they tore apart the immediate family, they planned to keep grandparents away. Before they removed the Matriarch and Patriarch, they tore apart our affiliation with like-minded friends and family who possessed the ability to effectively collectively bargain and stand against edicts from above.

Now they, the state, the ruling elite, have the only banner; they are the only clan, there is but one house sigil, THEIRS. They can inflate the money, put a diaper on our face, fire us for not getting a shot, take us to court for nothing, and so on. No one really has our back. We are alone. We haven’t a house; we have no banners to call, the clan is gone, and its stronghold has crumbled.
