Maxims

There are some who say that marriage is old-school and out of style… Yet single-parent families still devastate the child. Some claim that the old writers are problematic, their works should burn… But human nature doesn’t change and the old lessons we must learn. Others would disown history if our morals it does not fit… Not see the mistakes made before, leading us all into deep sh-t. Woman claim masculinity is toxicity we don’t need… But women chose these behaviors, the ones without them did no breed. People think that the government can set society right… But the state is made of people and they share in all of our blights. Some think that education can change the nature of what we are… They’ve thought this for thousands of years, no perfect humans so far. There are those who claim relationships can be redefined by whim… The Greeks and Romans thought that too, whatever happened to them? Some claim that the world is not fair because it requires they work… It’s always those who avoid it who will suffer in life the worst. Sometimes making a better world means bleeding a little red… There are millions who would challenge that if they weren’t already dead. We must listen to the science, if we do not millions might die… They always claim it’s a crisis, most current wisdom ain’t that wise. It’s right that guns should go away and authorities keep the peace… Trust my safety to the state? Have you read any history?! They once hated my ancestors, I want reparations for this… You only carry your own sins, otherwise division persists. People can live fulfilling lives, not choosing to have a kid… All your ancestors reproduced and I bet your damn glad that they did. Listen to the youthful passion, can’t you see that they are sincere?... And easy to manipulate, that’s been known for thousands of years. A person can change their gender, it’s all about what’s in their brain… Sex is older than our species, there are things that man cannot change. Old ideas don’t work anymore, it’s a new age! We need new ones... If a traditional lasts that long, there’s probably a good reason. Give power to the good people and a better world comes alive… The Bolsheviks thought they did good, then twenty million folks died. There is not need for deities, there’s nothing out minds can’t unearth… We cant even figure women out, much less the whole universe! Everything can be better if we honestly share what we think… You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.
