Why are our fellow peasants mentally disturbed, our relationships cold, our families broken, our communities dissolved and civility disappearing from our lives? Because the state replaced the family.

Now I’m no fan of family personally. Mine was worse than a Romanian orphanage, and I know many people whose experiences were similar. But there’s a reason for that. Once families lost their natural function, they necessarily ceased to function. Many became breeding grounds for personality disorders and incubators for the gibsmedats and dindunuffins who populate our underclass. How did this happen? Indeed, why do we have an underclass?
