Juan Manuel de Prada traces how worker rights were dismantled in Spain and how sex freedoms were used to make the impoverishment more palatable:
Divorce was legalized at the same time that at-will firing became law; abortion became legal at the exact same time that the dismantling of our industry was undertaken; gay marriage became legal at the same time that “labour reforms” were introduced, turning workers into disposable rags; and, finally, transgender postulates are being imposed at the same time that the mockingly called “sharing economy” and the cynically called “entrepreneurship” are being established, turning the worker into a scatterbrain who has to make a living in the most unseemly ways and beggarly ways.

Yesterday, I saw photos from a manifestation of asexuals, demanding their “rights”. Obviously, none of them could remotely define which rights they were lacking in the sexual sphere. Then, I’m sure they all went to their crappy rented apartments and their miserable, half-indigent lives. Yet they are sure that it’s in the realm of sex where they are most aggrieved. This is the real mass delusion of our times. We believe that main transgressions against us and main freedoms we should seek lie in the genital area.

There is a link between my conservative and libertarian values as I recognize that a libertarian political revolution will only work in a society with strong social networks likely provided by religions. For example, I assume the Mormons will do just fine if the welfare state was dismantled. If you have not already read it, I recommend Timothy Carney’s Alienated America and his analysis of non-Trump conservatives. I particularly loved his description of Silver Spring, MD where my parents live and I went to high school.

Depends on which mormons you’re talking about. The fracture groups that are still doing polygamy are mostly gaming the system by marrying the first wife legally, and then signing the rest of them up for welfare as single moms.
The above-board mormons, probably fine.

Let me know if this is ever in English translation. In addition to myself, I have a friend who I think would like it a lot.
