“The What-Abouts” - Poverty Essay
Yesterday, I noted that The Curmudgeon Emeritus was going to be posting a series of essays on “The What-Abouts.” He did not waste any time.
The first essay is up, The What-Abouts: Poverty, and it is well worth a read, quoting de Tocqueville, criticizing Dickens’ body of work, providing possible metrics to be measured, and indica to ignore.
If America, and Western Civilization as a whole, is to survive, individuals are going to have to harden their hearts, feelings, and start rationally understanding that the what-abouts are straw men erected by the State in order to enslave us all, which can only lead to a complete collapse of civilization as we now know it.
