Why Women Will Be Forced to Marry - by Vox Day - Sigma Game

 There are several problems with the economic incentive approach. First, young women are very short-term thinkers on average. This is entirely obvious if one looks at the way the majority of them spend their 7-10 year peak of personal attractiveness chasing Alphas, focusing on having fun, and pursuing useless degrees intended for careers they don’t actually want instead of investing their time in pursuing the best husband they can land and locking him down to set the stage for the next 50-60 years of their lives.

So attempting to modify their behavior with economic incentives is never going to work.

Women primarily respond to two things: social pressure and fear. So any approach intended to modify their behavior en masse needs to rely upon those two elements. I suspect that this is exactly what Russia’s psychological approach is intended to do. If young women who are proudly embarking upon the education and career approach are very publicly labeled crazy and forced to undergo regular psychological appointments, there aren’t going to be very many of them who are going to want to bear that social stigma for long........

.....And truthfully, considering the number of childless, unmarried professional women in the USA who are on mood-altering prescription drugs in order to be able to function on a daily basis, it’s hard to dispute the Russian diagnosis of their psychological problems.

Russia To Refer Childless Women For Psychiatric Evaluations | Armstrong Economics

 Russia is now advising psychological counseling for women who do not intend to have children, which is precisely the type of response governments default to when they refuse to confront economic reality. They search for cultural or emotional explanations when the issue is economical.

Russia’s fertility rate has fallen to roughly 1.4 children per woman, well below the 2.1 replacement level, and total births have declined to near post-Soviet lows at just over 1.2 million annually. This decline has been persistent, not cyclical, and the population is aging rapidly as deaths continue to exceed births. At the same time, the war has removed a significant portion of young men from the population.

The same pattern is unfolding across all developed economies. Europe’s fertility rate is now near 1.3. Spain and Italy are closer to 1.1. Germany is around 1.4. France, once the exception, has fallen sharply and recently recorded more deaths than births for the first time in decades. Japan has been below replacement for years and continues to contract. Even countries that implemented aggressive family subsidies, such as Norway and Hungary, have failed to reverse the trend.

Globally, fertility has collapsed from more than 5 children per woman in the 1960s to just above two today, and the developed world is already well below replacement. The common explanation offered by governments is psychological or social. They speak of changing values, delayed adulthood, or lifestyle preferences. That explanation collapses under scrutiny because it ignores the economic structure that determines behavior.

People do not make long-term commitments, such as having children, without confidence in their financial future. Children represent the largest long-term investment a household can make. When confidence declines, that investment is postponed or abandoned........

Central Banks Fund Civilization’s Collapse - LewRockwell

 The Federal Reserve, or the Fed, is the central bank of the United States.  Ever wonder why we have it?  Only a few people care if it’s still around, and they’re the ones who profit from it.  In some cases they profit enormously.  The average person doesn’t know about central banks and doesn’t care to know.  To the ones at the top of the political – economic heap, this is how they want it.

A central bank such as the Fed comes about through political favors — favors to big bankers and to politicians intent on buying votes and making war.  Where you find a country with a central bank, you have laws establishing it. A central bank is not a voluntary agreement among bankers.  In practice, it is a sophisticated counterfeiting racket backed by the monopoly force of government.  Remember, there would be no Fed without the Federal Reserve Act.

Central banks are often described as inflation fighters.  As monopoly producers of money, they are instead the sole source of inflation.  The Fed’s definition of inflation as “the rate at which the price of goods and services increases over time,” serves as a cover for their crime of targeting (price) inflation at two percent.  It’s policy is to ensure the dollar buys less over time since only the naive believe low prices are good.  As a monetary thief, the Fed has been a huge success.

Faith and Law - by bionic mosquito - A Christian Hall

 Instead, the primary change was regarding the place of the Church is society, and, therefore, the meaningful social changes that occurred during these years were a result of the Church being allowed to play its proper role in society – yes, evangelizing and preaching the Good News, but also positively changing behavior and attitudes.

I recall thinking about the area of complaint regarding God: why not, after the Flood or after the Resurrection, or whatever, did not God just update the social justice code? It is clear God understands that human behavior is not changed this way. Instead, change comes through the lives of the believers, and how these believers interact with their neighbors and their enemies. And this appears to be what occurred in this time period.

Conclusion

It is easy for historians (and some low-Church protestants) to look at this relationship between Church and empire as an unholy alliance. Yet it is an error to throw out the baby (the good outcomes of this relationship) with the bathwater (the temptations to power).

Throughout this time, there were many clergy dedicated to Christ’s mission and good works, and the Christian convictions held by many of the emperors was sincere. All of these men and women were fallen creatures, but this does not discount the good that came about from this alliance.

Unlike the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, it was not a period of Christian “activism,” but, instead, of a Christian life lived. Jesus proclaimed that His kingdom was not of this world, and many in these early centuries of Christendom saw their mission in just this way.

The saints actively lived this paradoxical tension.

In some cases, taking action, in others doing nothing more than demonstrating the Christian life. In enough cases to slowly change society, they were living out this eschatological view: their kingdom was something bigger, something more.

Is a Revolution Percolating in the US Military? - Kwiatkowski

 The United States, as a collapsing and anti-constitutional empire, faces many problems. Some are obscure, like the coming economic and monetary collapse.  Some are strategic, like the decades of wastage and corruption within the defense industrial complex that have eroded the dominance of the American war machine, while encouraging politicians to seek war continuously for fun and profit.  Some are moral, as seen with the war lust of both political parties, and the corruption of the elite classes, merged seamlessly in the adopted moniker of the latest war, “Epstein Fury.”  Some problems are political, like the current US parasitical infection by the Zionist horse-hair worm, which ingeniously hijacks the brain and movement of the host, culminating in the host’s suicide by drowning, water being necessary for the next stage of the worm’s life-cycle.

Unjust wars, deceitful monetary systems, elite arrogance and social disconnection are all part of late stage empire, fueling distrust among the people, and between the classes. The military is an institution where many of us have served, and many more take great pride in the service of ancestors children, family and friends.  It has been a unifier of the working classes, and a link between our politicians and the people.  Increasingly – in our frayed society – we see military men and women being elected to Congress, claiming in their campaigns the credibility and courage that we associate with service to country.  A recent generation of military men and women, now Senators and Congressmen and among the top levels of the executive branch, have largely shown themselves to be easily compromised – no doubt MAGA classmates Tulsi Gabbard and JD Vance, and many pro-war voices in the House and Senate traded away earned credibility on war and peace, choosing to cower rather than stand up, proving themselves less patriotic and less courageous than we were led to believe.......

....The people serving in the US military resent the commission of war crimes in their name, and being ordered to behave like and fight beside the IDF, despite a lack of legal framework. They resent being told by their own officers that this war is not defense of the US, but rather a pseudo religious adventure meant to prepare the world for the second coming of Jesus.  When the civilian and military leaders cannot lead due to incompetence, fraud, and poor moral character, they do not lead.  Instead they use organizational discipline and fear of group punishment to lie, steal, covet, cheat and murder on a grand and massive scale.

Disobedience, often indirect and silent, is a destroyer of armies. Yet it is often the only functional tool soldiers, sailors and airmen have when they are betrayed and lied to by false and feckless leaders, in the conduct of false and feckless wars, about which Major General Smedley Butler wrote so eloquently a century ago.

The Real Causes of the American War of Secession - Doug Casey

 I wish to disabuse you of something you’ve probably believed since you were ten years old. Only a third of you have been subjected to the American public school version of history, but that version has permeated throughout the world. After all, the winners get to write the history books. What Americans are taught about their so-called “Civil War” is, in good measure, a fairy tale.

Breaking Away: The Cas...McMaken, RyanCheck Amazon for Pricing.

Let’s start by getting the terminology right. It wasn’t a “civil war.” A civil war is a conflict in which two or more factions fight for control of the same government. That’s not what happened. The South wasn’t trying to take over the North. Their sole objective was to leave the Union. That made it a war of secession. Calling it a civil war is propaganda—framing Southerners as rebels and insurgents rather than people who simply wanted to go their own way. Some call it the War of Northern Aggression, a name which might have stuck if the Confederacy had won. I prefer to be neutral, so I will call it the War Between the States.

The standard narrative holds that the noble North, led by the saintly Abraham Lincoln, fought the evil South to free the slaves. Full stop. Now, more than any time in the past, that’s the whole story as far as most Americans are concerned. It’s on a par with believing that Spain blew up the battleship Maine to start the Spanish-American War, or that World War I was fought to “make the world safe for democracy.” I’ll reserve comment on more recent wars. But good propaganda always contains a kernel of truth, even while truth is always the first casualty in a war.

So, what were the causes of the War Between the States, which started April 12, 1861, with the bombardment of Ft. Sumter in Charleston harbor, and ended April 9, 1865, with the surrender of Lee at Appomattox?

Slavery was certainly a major element of the conflict. But reducing the bloodiest war in American history—700,000 dead, which in per-capita terms would be about seven million today—to a single cause is not just intellectually lazy and dishonest. It’s dangerous.

So let me walk you through what happened. I think you’ll find it’s far more interesting than the storybook version—because it involves economics, power politics, exploitation of one part of a country by another part, and international intrigue.

No Children, No Economy - Vox Popoli

 https://voxday.net/2026/03/18/no-children-no-economy/ 

That’s why the central planners of the world turned toward mass immigration. You need consumers to keep the GDP growth going, and with fewer children, there were going to be fewer consumers. Of course, the problem is that the macroeconomic models don’t account for quality of consumer, so it’s only very recently that the mainstream economists have begun to realize that lending to immigrants from grasshopper cultures is absolutely guaranteed to crash the banking system because none of those loans will ever be repaid.

And this is just on the consumption side. Imagine what lowering IQ, time preferences, and productivity does on the production side, although you don’t need to imagine it anymore. We already know what a calamity diversity and inclusion have turned out to be for the US corpocracy.

Indeed, based on a 2025 Danish study, it may even be necessary to ban paid female employment. Such a policy would indubitably be sexist, anti-feminist, and currently illegal in most Western countries. But no one living in any society that elects to show up for the future is going to care what the norms of a few long-dead 21st-century societies happened to be.

Egalitarianism is already conceptually dead. It won’t be many more decades before people stop believing in it.
