In the modern West, Europe, The Americas, the Anglosphere daily life has gotten so abstract that we've forgotten or have completely put out of our minds how brutal this life can be. When apocalyptic novels and movies that have been around for the better part of a hundred years, remind us of how quickly and how completely our civilized world can go bad, we call it entertainment. After world wars were fought leaving behind bombed out cities and destitution for millions, we look back and call it history. We watch on our TV's screens the modern destruction of far-off wars, we call it the news. We are insulated from it all by the infrastructure that man has built around us that ensures we have plenty of food and water, abundant energy and a safe, warm place to lay our heads at night.
It's safe to say we live in the lap of luxury. Wonderful, isn't it? It is, until we forget or outright reject the fundamentals that brought us here. The "until" part has passed us, in fact it passed us some 50 years ago. The West is dying; it's a slow suicidal death. We've succumbed to a set of luxury beliefs, and we refuse to take off our rose-colored glasses long enough to see the train barreling down the tracks straight at us.
It's not the first time this has happened in human history. Many dynasties and empires have come and gone due to ignoring these signs. The scale is different this time. The suffering and death will be legion if we don't make a course correction, soon...
Luxury beliefs as commonly understood are ideas and opinions largely held by an insulated upper class that are devoid of the natural consequences that ordinary people face in day-to-day life. These beliefs can be out of touch with the realities faced by those less privileged.
One would have to impose these modern assumptions on early attempts at civilization tens of thousands of years ago to grasp the utter absurdity of such opinions. The nature of being an early pioneer or settler is that you face challenges and severe hardship because you must confront the world in its most elemental form, where nothing has been done for you, no one has laid the groundwork for what you must do to survive. In the beginning, life is raw, dangerous and wild. Day in and day out it's a struggle just to survive. You don't have the "luxury" to believe otherwise. This reality creates a practical, rational mindset that guides your actions, that inform your beliefs. Anything that doesn't help with survival is left behind; it has to be.
You have to accept the reality of the world as it actually is. You can't adapt it to your fantasy of the world as you'd like it. There are the laws of nature that don't care about your wishes or the fairytales you tell yourself. How many times do you have you hear "the world doesn't work that way" when something doesn't come out the irrational way you wanted it to?
The prime obstacle here for the modern human is to accept that there are gender roles. By a roll of the dice, we are born either a male or a female. That's fact, not opinion. Everything else is a social construct. The inherent perceived unfairness is also a fact. The nature of the roles are adaptable, but that there are two genders, and only two is not.
Our early pioneer selves could not escape this reality, the differences between men and women. Each had their strengths and their deficiencies and each had to put these traits to the best use to help the group survive. Only women can have babies. Men cannot become pregnant, end of story. Only women can produce the milk needed for those babies. Men don't lactate, ever. What men can do is create conditions for the woman and the baby to survive and thrive. Safety first. That's what women and babies need. This is something men are suited for. It isn't rocket science.
Only men had the strength to fight off male invaders and protect the village so that the women and children can have that place to grow and to flourish. If men don't do this they lose their society to other men, their mates are enslaved and the children killed.
The reality of these gender roles was an absolute necessity then and they're absolutely necessary now. If we ignore them we lose our civilization. We are watching it happen. Our boys are no longer needed to fend off invaders as a intrinsic part of their environment. They've grown weak and aimless. Our pro women anti-men policies have only made it worse for boys. For the better part of two centuries we've used team sports to fill that role, just as the Romans and the Greeks did during times of peace. That has been enough for us in the time of plenty to keep the playfields thriving, except where feminization has taken hold. Women inherently don't like the implication of violence in their boys and with feminist ethos permeating everything fewer and fewer boys are allowed to be aggressive (which is in their nature) and act out. So, boys are labeled ADHD and drugged. Enough boys - and - men, are still encouraged to compete that we see team sports, but the dream and striving for those not quite good enough to 'make the team' is gone. Playgrounds are empty everywhere in the West. Those boys retreat into videogames and internal fantasies that they don't even try to progress into manhood or fatherhood. It so bad that they are afraid of girls. Or worse they've lost all attraction to girls. They are called man boys. The lost boys...
Girls, now empowered by the successes of modernity, don't necessarily see motherhood as an inevitable trajectory anymore. They've been pushed to obtain status, wealth and power, pushing out everything that was the traditional realm of a woman. The society that feminization has left behind is often hostile to babies, in direct opposition to everything that makes women so special, so appealing. This is playing out before our eyes and not enough people are alarmed about it. The ogres on the anti-men side have become more and more belligerent and contentious toward traditional roles that they revel in the thought of murdering babies if for nothing more than to make men feel helpless, worthless. Do they ever wonder why women now buoyed by professional success are so unhappy and dissatisfied? A society like this cannot survive.
Transgenderism was born of this mindset. Obviously gay and lesbian lifestyles are not conducive to propagation of the species. These things if left safely on the periphery of society where these people could be left alone to thrive in their own way, will not sink the human race. But instead they are pushed front and center and you are not allowed to object or even have concerns. Even as we watch human fertility and the desire to procreate disappear we are not allowed to try and prevent this destructive mindset from taking over the culture. These are the kind of luxury beliefs that will destroy the human race if left unchecked.
So, as we tried to figure out how things work in this world, the basic laws of nature, the laws of science, biology, physics, chemistry, and so forth we've adapted ourselves and the society to what we've built. We've tamed the dangers and relieved the scarcity for much of the world, to point where we created a comfort level that makes us forget where we came from. We condemn ourselves for the inequities of our unenlightened antiquity, a blanket of perpetual guilt. We are killing the good and the bad. Today we paper over the laws of nature, the survival of the fittest.
You can say to yourself what's the problem, so what if women don't want babies, so what if men are insufficient and uninterested in protecting the their homes. So what? More luxury beliefs. There are men in the world who are still masculine and women who are interested in motherhood. They are currently invading our lands, the Muslims in Europe and the Hispanic, Asians and Muslims here in America - and we are letting them, inviting them in. They will take what you don't protect, they will take your place, gladly.
If our forbearers had indulged in any of this nonsense, our civilization would have never materialized. They would've died out. It wasn't possible for them to have such anti-reality luxury beliefs.
In today's world the societal elites, the uber-wealthy actually still live by the laws of the jungle up in their stratospheric realm. Men are men and they are powerful and aggressive in business and in the bedroom. The women bear their children knowing they'll never have to struggle in a hard scrabble world in order for their children to survive and thrive. They want for nothing. Yet these are the thought leaders and wealth behind the agenda's that result in the above paragraphs.
So many people have been born into comfort, security and prosperity, never having to worry about deprivation or unmet needs. From that position luxury beliefs cost them and their club nothing. Their insular world never meets ours. It is the rabble who feel the consequences of the anti-reality beliefs the societal elite impose on us. It's the aftereffects of such beliefs that only those on the lowest wrung of society bear the cost.
Think of what no-bail laws have done to already stressed and depressed neighborhoods. Letting criminals, known dangerous criminals out to rob and murder again doesn't affect the hoity toity, it affects the poor. The policies that lead to this are luxury beliefs, although one could call them insane beliefs.
The holy grail of these luxury beliefs is of course 'Climate Change' or more recently 'Climate Crisis!!!". The crisis is that people are finally seeing it for what it is, a grift, the biggest grift of all. They have put this false flag - a deceptive act or event designed to mislead others about the true source or intention behind it - front and center until it has become a integral part of western culture. The true intention is the destruction of the West. All of these so-called luxury beliefs ultimately aim at this goal. We are watching it happen to Europe as we speak. They've given up on Christianity which brought Western culture to the pinnacle of human development, and in it's absence they've inserted climate - Gaia into the modern zeitgeist.
Climate change, once called global warming, once called the coming ice age, is the ultimate guilt trip, where just being alive and using resources to stay alive puts you on trial. The elites, the ultra wealthy, the architects of this show trial continue to jet set around the globe in their private planes visiting climate change conferences before returning to one of their many giant homes. But you and yours are the guilty ones because you put gas in your ten year old car on the way to spend your meager paychecks at the grocery store. Yes, luxury beliefs are entirely hypocritical.
Almost all of the global leftist agenda is an extension of these luxury beliefs. In recent years the call to defund the police is probably the most destructive for those closest to the ground. The police face humanity at its worse, everyday. To hold them to impossible standards while they wrestle uncooperative perpetrators into submission is wholly unfair. Experiments with non law enforcement community service officers are always a disaster. The police are one of the only hedges we have against the criminal world and the leftists want to neuter them, eliminate them. But the elites will be the first to call the 'authorities' when they are wronged.
Pat yourself on the back if you hold these beliefs and are proud and feeling righteous. When reality strikes you in the face as the world devolves into chaos and brutality remember how it felt. It'll be the last pleasant thought you have.
