Who is 'chopped-liver'? A housewife or a working wife? Who is to be preferred? One-income or two-income marriages? This last forty years, we have promoted working couples while leaving single-income marriages to fend for themselves. It should be the other way around. Single-income marriages deserve support. I propose to replace child allowances with a HOMEMAKER ALLOWANCE. The strengthening of the family. And the restoration of middle-class society.

Ecraser L'Infame

Overall, the special feature of our dilemma is the collapse of Protestantism, which has left our warriors without a unifying principle. For 300 years until the 1960's, the Protestant work ethic was the pounding heart of European confidence. And it has gone! Leaving our alpha males discombobulated. The centre has collapsed. And into the vacuum are being drawn all manner of illicit elements: notably the corporate media.

My dream is that a homemaker allowance will substantially fill that void left by the collapse of Protestantism: the breadwinner and homemaker marriage being the central fact of worthwhile existence.

Purposeful thought is the responsibility of a society's warriors. To an extent, a society IS what its warrior males will kill and die for. And a society lacking a confident warrior class gets taken over and trashed for the fun of it. WE~the modern, middle-class, christoid West~are being trashed because we allow ourselves to be trashed. WE create the trashing process, not the elements that trash us: Feminists, media, corporations and minority types. They have no real existence: They are only what they can get away with being.

It does not matter who is taking us for a ride: how or why the media are taking us for a ride. The answer is always, We let them! We are the problem, not the runts who trash us. The tendency to put the boot in is universal. That's the runt in all of us.

(Incidentally, there is a bible commandment here. 'Thou shalt not seethe the kid in its mother's milk': a metaphor, You must not add insult to injury. You must not succumb to that temptation to take advantage of people who are in a position to be taken advantage of.)

You may object I am only addressing the symptoms of a rotten society: that getting rid of working couples, and bringing back breadwinner and homemaker couples, will not cure our malaise. But you may have the symptoms of flu~the stuffed up nose and itchy cough~without the flu. You still have to relieve the symptoms.

Similarly a pampered government class is always a symptom of a rotten society. Ottomans, Hapsburgs, Romanovs: They all coddled their government workers. Like the emperor system in old China floating on a cloud of eunuchs. Trudeau humiliated every honest man and woman in Canada with his indulgence towards the Post Office workers. Wasn't that his intention?

Similarly in South Africa under apartheit: The Boers all got jobs as bus drivers and municipal employees. If apartheit had been honest, those servant-class jobs would have gone to the blacks. Apartheid was always a scam. That was how the honest Boers lost control of their country.

I can't go into the details of a homemaker allowance: the tax angles and child benefits. That's not my forte. Just get the wagon train rolling, and fix the wheels as they fall off. Like unemployment insurance, the allowance will never be finalised. My contribution is to locate the idea at the heart of honest, 'middle-class' civilisation.


P.S. 'Anonymous': I also misspelled Pickton; but thanks for the thought.

About Me

The same age, height, weight and initials as Cassius Clay, your favourite great uncle was born a Capricorn in the Year of the Snake. (Am I ever wise!) He has a good honours degree from an ancient British university. If you believe in symbols, kneel! In reality he has a lower second BA in geography from Durham. You may rise! (I don't make the rules!) He dropped out in the late Sixties to write up an insight (because I couldn't take to any work routine) and spent his entire life on the project. It was quite unpublishable. It used the idea of a Dual Brain to hold together the conflict between symbol and reality, right and good. Pounded by the hammers of rejection, we came to conclude the best hope for mankind lay in a homemaker allowance. So blog it!
