Good morning. Everybody, Stephen Melon, you from Free Domain. Hope you doing well. So, questions from over the holidays. Sorry, it took me a little time to get to them. I did the single, Mom, one. And then somebody writes, how did we become such a vulgar society? I listened to classical in 50s music. The music used to be so beautiful, and the lyrics focused on love,

marriage, and children. Virtually no references to sexuality or money were made, unless the message

was a warning to avoid valuing these things. I can't listen to modern music without

revulsion now. I've even noticed how bad much of the rock and roll I used to like is. This is

quite a black pill experience, and I'm not sure how to interpret it. Well, none of this

is by, none of this is by accident. The coarsening and vulgarization of a culture is there to weaken it.

Men, you know, we work for beauty, we defend beauty and love.

And a culture that is beautiful and full of love of beauty and of virtue is impossible to take over

because men in general will fight like crazy to protect it. But if the culture

is ugly and fetid and gross and bestial, then people will not fight in particular to protect it.

So, you know, there's an old sort of trick of warfare, which is not to fight the enemy,

but to poison his water supply.

Or, as the old saying goes, an army marches on its belly.

And if you can cut off the food supply to an army, you don't need to fight the army.

You can just let the army starve.

And of course, this is what Russians did.

They get invaded and they do the scorched earth policy and so on.

So they simply let Winter take care of the troops.

The best way to win a war is not to fight the enemy.

And this is what demoralization is all about. The scandals in the

UK, Rotherham and so on, have a lot to do with simply demoralizing people and having them not want to

fight for an existing regime.
