12 Tenets for a Free Society in the early 21st Century

After watching a rather lengthy video of Jordan Peterson called '12 principles for a 21st century conservatism', I decided to do my own take on what he suggested...

1.) The fundamental principles/goals of Western civilization are good, proper and valid.

I can't believe this even needs to be said. That depresses me.

2.) Peaceful socialization of free individuals is preferable to isolation and war. Consequently, it is just and proper to insist on some sacrifice of individual impulse and idiosyncrasy. 

i.e. Social norms will exist and will be enforced by society on its own without the Power of Law interfering in public affairs. We don't need a court ruling on whether or not a Christian baker should have to bake a cake for a gay wedding reception. That was a horrific abuse of government authority and should never have happened. The queer couple should have just went to another baker.

3.) Competence is most desirable in elected officials and should be promoted over mere Idealism. 

Skills always trump even the best of ideas. And that is why Barack Obama was such a horrific failure of a leader. He was all talk and no action, unless it was the obviously wrong action. He also made the classic Leftist mistake of approaching the world how he wanted it to be rather than how it actually is...

4.) Borders and control of immigration are reasonable and essential to maintaining a free society.

Not to mention a good way of preventing invasions... And NOT letting dirt poor neighboring countries dump their social problems on us. Yes, Mexico, I am talking about you. We are going to build that wall. You are going to pay for it with interest and it serves you right.

This is one construction job that I might actually want...

Consider yourself lucky that we have so much patience as a society, Mexico. If you had any other great military power as a neighbor and tried dumping your problems on them, you would have been invaded/conquered. Maybe even nuked...

That being said, I do like your cuisine and Tequila. Also Mexico, y'all do have some pretty good lookin' women. That could be an interesting thing to import...

Well, that's ONE way to get a Green Card... :P

5.) People should be paid so they're able and willing to perform socially useful and desirable duties as their method of employment.

Think it's unfair that you paid a repairman $100 for a task that took 5 minutes? Well, you're wrong. You aren't just paying for the materials and 5 minutes of labor. You are also paying for his time, training, knowledge and experience. If it was such an easy fix, maybe you should have done it yourself.

6.) Citizens have the inalienable right to benefit from the result of their own honest labor.

And the Feds should NOT be taxing people back into poverty the moment they finally get a job with a decent paycheck. We are trying to get people OUT of poverty, not put them right back into that sad lifestyle.

7.) All levels of government should leave people to their own devices as much as possible.

No government bureaucrat with a bad comb-over is ever going to know how to handle your life's problems better than you.

8.) There's no need to re-invent the wheel. Save innovation for something that will be an *actual* improvement to a method/process/product/service.

If something works well, don't be in such a rush to replace that thing. Sometimes, shiny and new is not as good as broken-in and reliable. Why buy a new car when your current one still runs well? Why buy a new computer when the current one can be upgraded?

9.) Radical changes to society should be viewed with a healthy amount of skepticism and suspicion.

For example, that little shit David Hogg. He just became eligible to vote in April of this year and he has ZERO real world experience. Yet, he seems to think that he knows what's best for society. Wow... And I thought that I was a pretty delusional teenager for thinking I might one day be able to become a Rock Star. :P

I don't care about his feelings on firearms or the fact that there was a shooting at his school, either. Guns are NOT going away. The guns were merely a tool misused by a psychopath that the system failed to catch. The deficient Mental Health resources in our society are to blame here, not firearms. Guns are the American people's liberty teeth, not to mention our only way to guarantee that our government doesn't become tyrannical. As such, they deserve to be venerated and given a place of honor in every American home. If you paid attention in your Civics class David, you might have learned that...

Arrogant child...

Also Davy, you might want to look into hiring a few cops with some fucking balls. That assclown that stood there while kids were being shot should (probably) be prosecuted for negligence resulting in a homicide. Also, your sheriff is a cuck. Replace him too.

10.) It is more noble to teach young people about responsibilities rather than just teaching them about their rights. 

Rights without responsibilities often become an enormous social and financial burden. Also, we don't need yet another generation of 'special snowflakes' who are growing up thinking that they're entitled to everything and responsible for nothing at all.

Annoying little shits...

Raising a generation of assholes like that is how we ended up with a fucking Commuinst turd like Obummer for a POTUS. Of course, it's not entirely the fault of these children that they are all such spoiled and retarded little jackasses. If their parents did their job, this new generation of youngsters might actually be more effective people. And that leads us to...

11.) Intact heterosexual two-parent nuclear families constitute the necessary bedrock for a stable and productive society. They are the best way to raise children to be effective adults.

Fathers matter. They are the parent that instills discipline and passes on essential life skills. They also teach boys how to be responsible men. No woman, no matter how good a mother she may be, can ever teach those things to her son. It's a concept that she will never fully understand, due to the biological differences between men and women. And yes, there are a LOT of differences between the sexes. Don't let the Radical Leftist SJW idjits confuse you on the basic fact of Human existence.

Men, do NOT let this be your son. He might grow up to be a school shooter.
Or, even worse, a fucking Beta CUCK...

Ladies, find yourselves a good man for a husband. Men, make yourselves into that good man that women would want for a husband. And most importantly ladies, you might actually want to act like ladies too. You're never going to attract the kind of good man you would want for a husband by acting like a THOT. All that will do is make men assume that you are not wife material. They won't be wrong in that assumption. Men want wives, not whores.

My first reaction whenever I meet a single mom/party girl that wants to 'chill' but says she doesn't need a man...

And dispense with that Fourth Wave Feminism BULLSHIT too. It doesn't help matters...

Which one looks more attractive and likable to you?
Which group of women here do you think is more likely to find a husband and keep him?

Also, don't pop out illegitimate kids and think you can still find a husband. The chances of that happening are not good and it's a bet you shouldn't take. Also, you not only ruin your own life when you become a single mother, you'll probably ruin the child's life too. For example...

And this is one of the more tragic things that happen when the father is not in his child's life...

12.) We should judge our political system in comparison to other actual political systems, not to any kind of hypothetical utopia. 

In other words, we should compare Free Republics in the Western tradition with Imperialism, Fascism and real-world Communism instead of the (supposedly) 'looks good on paper' version. Almost anything can be made to look good on paper. However, any idea that would require concentrating societal power into the hands of one or a small cabal of individuals is doomed to failure. No one is noble enough to keep that power from eventually corrupting them.

The numbers don't lie.
