The rental house kittycorner from me has a landlord with a remarkable talent for selecting good families. Most are Air Force types from Fairchild. Air Force is a reliable source of good citizens.
The latest family is pure 1950s Hallmark Americana, but not Air Force. Dad is always out working on the car, and his young son is always “helping” and learning. How do I know they’re not Air Force? They speak an unfamiliar language, Oriental but not Mandarin, and I don’t think it’s Vietnamese. Might be Lao or Cambodian.
The black families in the neighborhood are also Hallmark, some even Hank Hill.
Strong old cultures from Asia and Africa are the future. They’re reproducing faster, and they’re emitting Civilization Rays wherever they go.
Decadent Euro cultures are gone. We lost our family structure. Nature responded by decreasing fertility, like a tree closing off an unproductive branch.
This rule applies broadly. An arrogant decadent empire dies because nobody wants to join or help ANY of its institutions, from politics to armies to colleges to businesses to churches to families. Nature’s cure for psychopaths.
FDR understood the point that Schwellenbach was making: Futility is the nemesis of democracy. Our system was collapsing in 1931, and FDR turned it around by RESTORING TRUST and turning futility into productivity.
