Quote from some awful online cesspool of disguised unemployment (what else is journalism anyway?):
[…] Averse to out-of-wedlock births due to entrenched family values, Japan grapples with societal factors contributing to the birth rate crisis. […]
[…] In Japan, out-of-wedlock births are uncommon, reflecting family values rooted in a paternalistic tradition. […]
So these idiots want to make it look as if being born out-of-wedlock is a good thing? Typical for journalists – pea-brained imbeciles that they are – is the fact the West has a massive problem with out-of-wedlock births … yet has low birth rates, too.
Further, they used it to level some “feminist” critique or so against Japan, which is laughable. Family values should indeed be rooted in something other than Hollywood, which is repugnant.
A “Scroogle” search with explicit keywords turned up two snippets, one which easily disproves the claim made by that idiot above:
Only around 2% of births in Japan and South Korea are to unmarried mothers, the lowest levels in the oecd, a club of rich countries. In wealthy Western countries that figure is typically between 30% and 60%.
Another snippet by someone wanting to torture children:
In contrast, the ratio of children born out of wedlock in Japan is an extremely low 2.1% (2006). In 1980 this ratio was 0.8%, and it is clear that social discrimination and prejudice against children born out of wedlock and their mothers are still very deeply rooted.
Yes, this being preferable to the decadent chaos of the West, of course. Just read J. D. Unwin’s Sex and Culture.
Further, in case the father is absent during the first six years for six months, the risk to suffer from mental illnes increases by 2.5 – even fifty years later!
There are dozens of studies which show that the broken families so defended by moral vermin like the losers – why else become a journalist? – above is linked to increased risk of developing mental illness in general.
The West, nay, this whole world is done for. Another Plato, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe …? Not in sight. Even on the so-called Right, sexual immorality gets defended. They cannot even endure someone simply taking a stance against it.
Gómez Dávila would have had to throw up:
The sentences handed down on the Day of Judgment will be less categorical and emphatic than those handed down by any journalist on any topic.
It turns out it is impossible to convince a businessman that a profitable activity can be immoral.
More so than the immorality of the contemporary world, it is its growing uglines s that moves one to dream of a cloister.
It is not easy to discern whether contemporary journalism is a cynical way to get rich by corrupting man or a “cultural” apostolate carried out by hopelessly uncivilized minds.
The modern world will not be punished.
It is the punishment.Each day it becomes easier to know what we ought to despise: what modern man admires and journalism praises.
Journalism is the dispensation from intellectual discipline.
Sexual promiscuity is the tip society pays in order to appease its slaves.
