Bread And Circuses – Collapse Of Society

[Oz-BlokeParticipant 3233]

As a bloke working full-time and paying his fair share of taxes, I found the following article interesting reading – Recipe for Collapse: Rising Military and Social Welfare Spending

I do wonder how long this can go on, fewer and fewer mostly working men propping up a ballooning welfare state of single mothers and the Military Industrial Complex. Much like America, here the majority of heavy-lifting is done by working men. Despite their feminist rants and wails of “girl power”, the majority of women still expect men to carry the weight of financial provision in the household (breadwinner). This from the Australian Bureau Of Statistics – “Females with dependent children were less likely to be in full-time employment (28%) than males with dependent children (83%).”

Alarming is only 34% of the Australian population have a full-time job (8.1 out of a population of 24 million) and men still literally do most of the “heavy lifting” in sectors like mining, construction, defence and agriculture. How much can the average working bloke take of a parasitic society feeding off his hard toil?

I do believe a day of reckoning is coming when the system crumbles and all those kept wives, partners and mothers will have no option but to once again do some hard, physical labour like in medieval days. oh teh howls of protest when women can’t kill their hours in climate-controlled rooms (paid for and serviced by their male providers) checking Facebook, Tweeting and plotting more ways to extract resources from Blue Pill chumps.

Lunch is over, back to paying for the welfare state!

The wellfare state is a huge ponzi scheme requiring ever more people entering at the bottom of the pyramid to pay out those at the top. Unfourtunately western societies are not playing ball by having fewer offspring. Thus new blood needs to be imported by way of mass imigration. Its a s~~~ stratergy for proping up a rotten system and will end predictably as social cohesion disolves.

how can the economy work when you have to pay huge taxes to c~~~s and parasites for not working and you have to employ stupid, lazy and useless women in the workplace?

Think about it, imagine you have a god ideia and want to start a company.

Think of the taxes, the sjws, the feminists and the left wing goverments taxing you through the roof.

You decide just to stay put and dont invest the money.
ergo, no new jobs.
ergo, no economy.

FTA:

Like all states under financial pressure, the Empire devalued its currency as a means of stretching sagging resources. A measure of wheat that cost 6 drachmas in the first century A.D. cost two million drachmas after 344 A.D.

Source needed. This sounds highly questionable. There is no doubt that currency debasement was going on, just not to the ridiculous extent he suggests. For one thing, the Roman’s didn’t use drachmas – that’s Greek money.

Debasement in ancient Rome meant they made the coins smaller or with a lower gold/silver/copper content. This may have reduced its value by half or more, but not by hundreds of thousands of times as the writer states.

It’s possible that in a given city or other locale under siege that the demanded price for wheat was many times the normal price due to opportunism, or possibly due to interruption of supply by an enemy, but not because of currency debasement as the author would suggest.

All his other points are pretty much valid. I just wanted to point out the absurdity of romans showing up with caravans full of greek coins to pay for a measure of wheat.
