THE VOICE OF REASON
Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

While superstition is mere empty ritual, religion has a moral dimension as well as a belief in the afterlife. Buddhism is still called a religion because it promotes belief in reincarnation ie an afterlife although technically it is an atheist philosophy.
Chinese ancestor worship is about the worship of one's ancestors and one's status as a worshipped ancestor (desirable) as opposed to being a hungry ghost (undesirable). Its real purpose was to make married couples have large families, to produce sons to be cannon fodder and the labour force of the next generation to sustain the empire that is China. Because having children is so expensive and inconvenient, the religion of Chinese ancestor worship was created to shame the living into aspiring to be married parents with plenty of male descendants to worship their ancestors. Shame and fear was used to motivate the Chinese into the undertaking of becoming married parents and having an heir and a spare to keep China going as a running concern, despite invasions, famine, pestilence and civil war.
By such ideas are civilisations created and sustained and we are the beneficiaries. The next generation will not be so lucky.
I am given an honourable mention at the 57th minute.
I appear at 2:24:00.
My comments under the video:
Kavanaugh is not an attractive man with his snorty grimacing ways that say redneck, redneck, redneck .... He actually looked more attractive before I heard him speak, but, hey, you can say this about most pretty women, huh?
Good-looking men should be assumed to be morally defective or gay unless they prove themselves otherwise.
My dear mother says "We know what these Americans get up anyway. We have seen enough of their movies to know exactly what these loose women get up to ... "
Christine Ford - crazy lady! Ann Coulter - my favourite white nationalist - took the right position on her: that Ford probably was assaulted "but not by Kavanaugh."
Everyone gets bored and irritated with their spouse. It should be written into every Marriage Contract
Mere boredom, irritation and disenchantment with married life shall never be a sufficient reason to apply for a divorce to Matrimonial Disputes Tribunal. It is assumed that marriage is a sacrifice the parties to the marriage make for the rearing of the next generation in optimum conditions. It ain't no bowl of cherries. Divorce will only be granted without investigation by the Tribunal if there are no children of the marriage and both parties agree to the divorce. Fault for divorce always starts at 50/50 even if the parties agree amicably to divorce, because at the very least the parties to the amicable undisputed divorce married the wrong person.
I think only people from a religious background really understand the nature and purpose of principles even if they subsequently reject their religious upbringing.
"Maybe we did wrong" - To fix things, you would have to acknowledge that both your religion (Christianity) and political system (multi-party democracy) have failed and think about its replacement ie one party theocracy . That is really all it takes, in theory. You're not gonna do it though, are you? You will just wait and wait and continue to live in your condemned building until it collapses round your ears. Sad, so sad.
How long did democracy last in Ancient Athens? Not very long!
Did Republican Rome last longer than Imperial Rome? Nope.
Western academics who are coming round to my point of view:
How many Noahide laws do US laws infringe? How many peoples and nations have the Americans led astray under its imperium after being forcefed its rotten culture?
1. Do establish laws (and adhere to the rule of law in order to dispense justice).
2. Don’t curse God.
3. Do not practice idolatry. (Christianity is idolatry because the Doctrine of the Trinity is about worshiping an executed revolutionary and claiming he is the co-equal of the supreme and eternal Abrahamic God and persecuting anyone who disagrees with you eg Jews, Muslims, Unitarian Christians, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses etc.)
4. Do not engage in illicit sexuality. (Obviously, all extramarital sex is "illicit sexuality".)
5. Do not participate in bloodshed. (How many neocon wars this century?)
6. Do not rob. (How many neocon wars this century?)
7. Do not eat flesh from a living animal.
Stop blaming women! You lot are like parents who leave your adolescent children for three months for a holiday and then come back to find the family home trashed or turned into a drug den or a brothel. Are you really going to blame the children?! Just admit that you have been distracted by taking the bribe of fornication offered to you by feminism and correct yourselves.
Misogyny v Misandry march hand in hand.
Tolerating female promiscuity cheapens relationships between men and women and nothing breeds contempt like familiarity. Why are gay men so bitchy about each other? Because they have all "cheated" on each other and felt they have been cheated on.
I like to think White Sharia came from Secular Koranism.
Secular Koranism is less restrictive of women's rights than White Sharia because divorce will be allowed and no fault divorce abolished. Coverture will not be reintroduced under Secular Koranism.
There is no need to persuade women to surrender their rights. All you have to do is to persuade enough ambitious, marriageable and influential men to restore the patriarchy. If you manage that, then it is as good as done.
You can't be Nazis if you are not German and don't want to deport Jews, surely? Antisemitism is a feature of Christianity. What Western gentiles need is a religion that protects them from their women and bad unobservant Jews. You know which one there is left, because Christianity is kaput.
The death knell of WASPs was sounded when Britain lost her world empire and the Americans took over. The Anglican Church was the most powerful church in the world after the Catholic Church. As you would expect, Americans cannot respect a religion of a nation who was really the vanquished after WW2 and whose nation immediately became their debtor. In fact, it really began to fail once it became legal to deny the Trinity after the Doctrine of the Trinity Act 1813. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctrine_of_the_Trinity_Act_1813 It was inevitable that the baby of the Biblical morality would be thrown out with the bathwater of the Trinity.
Bottom line: no patriarchy, no white pride. This is because the immigrants who come here will instantly know that you have lost control of your women. Any attentive foreigner who pays attention to the news and capable of making inferences will also know that you have lost control of your women.
You know what I think makes Muslims blow themselves up when they get to the West?
They blow themselves up when they realise that they and their descendants will suffer the same fate as the white man. And this after they have crossed seas and continents to get to what they thought was their promised land. I can't prove it of course, but that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
1:49:00 Calling complainants "survivors" assumes the guilt of the accused.
1:51:00 The corporations might find Islam useful because patriarchy is more likely to create a good business environment of law and order rather than a failed states like South America, huh?
1:53:00 Women are non-combatants in this Culture War between Matriarchy and Patriarchy, like lionesses watching the father of their cubs deal with a challenger for his harem. Whoever wins, the lionesses will have his cubs and this is fine by them because they will always have the cubs of the winner.
2:46:00 The ultimate matriarchy is the bee colony with only a few drones allowed to exist for the purpose of pleasuring the queen and siring her offspring.
Millennial Woes attempts to answer the question "What do you define as the alt-right?"
Nonsensically, he says the alt-right are:
people on the right, broadly ... maybe not in the sense of being economically right-wing, but definitely in the sense of believing in hierarchy. We are not egalitarians, we do not believe in equality. We believe in Khaw Things like Khaw Nature and race and race is part of that. We don't believe that you can be ignore the conditions that you were born into and born with and we don't believe that you should because it is a Khaw Part of you and if you deny it, you are denying it. You're deluding yourself and everyone else. In other words, identity is not wholly constructed. It would be difficult to come up with a percentage to which you can construct your identity. You do throughout your time and your life but you've always got the stuff that you were born into as well.
Attempting to sum up, he says, the alt-right are:
people on the right in terms of things that used to characterise Conservatism a long time ago, like before the 20th century. Conservatives were people who believed in land, nation, kith and kin, community and hierarchy. So the alt-right is just a revival of an ancient form of Conservatism, an old form of Conservatism, but also it is not wholly right-wing [looking increasingly confused and nervous taking a sip from his empty mug which he uses as a prop when trying to hide his confusion and nervousness] definitely in terms of economics, but also in terms of lifestyle, technology. We're not just a bunch of nutters who want to erase this stuff in order to return to the land 100%, but again that is very difficult to characterise the movement as a whole. The movement is very difficult to characterise as a whole.
He admits he is not having much luck with the question and says he will move on. Then, recognising that he of all people should be able to define the alt-right, he apologises for his poor performance, and tries again:
Obviously, it's a controversial movement because it takes as a given that race is real and that races are different intrinsically or they may as well be different intrinsically because the differences are reinforced culturally because people care about their identity so much that they might as well be genetically bound to those characteristics that are associated with that identity.
In other words, you'd struggle to beat the collectivism out of a Chinese person whether it's genetic or not because that is part of their identity, it is part of how they see themselves, how they have been raised, how they will honour their ancestors and so on.
His use of the analogy of struggling to beat the "collectivism" out of the Chinese is curious. He may have a problem with Chinese people because of me, but he may be using the Chinese as a substitute for Jews or Muslims since he is also obviously antisemitic and Islamophobic as well as racist.
If Millennial Woes wants to penalise collectivist Chinese, Jewish or Muslim behaviour by beating the hell out of them - and it would not be too far-fetched to imagine him wishing to do so - then that would have the effect of discouraging the Chinese from worshipping their ancestors, the Jews from practising male circumcision and the Muslims from their prostrations.
"All negative commandments of the Bible, except those with regard to idolatry, adultery, and murder, may be transgressed if there is danger of life" (Sanh. 74a; Yer. Sanh. iii. 6; Yer. Sheb. iv. 1; comp. Pesiḳ. R., ed. Friedmann, p. 55a).
In Islam, Taqiya or taqiyya, literally "prudence, fear") is a precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution. Another term for this concept, kitmān (lit. "action of covering, dissimulation"), has a more specific meaning of dissimulation by silence or omission.
Millennial Woes is basically saying that if you ain't white, gentile and Islamophobic, you can't join the alt-right. I am saying it doesn't really matter what he says because he is not the Pope of the alt-right.
Alt-right just means nationalists without a party forced to go on YouTube to get their message across because it is easier than joining a political party and doing boring stuff that is nothing to do with getting likes and subscribes on your YouTube channel.
My definition of the alt-right:
What is the alt-right? I would say it is those who believe that mainstream Conservatism is not enough to solve the social problems created by half a century of feminism and immigration. https://t.co/bq4fsIEoza
Because of the lack of male solidarity in Western men the alt-right is leaderless and the government does not worry about them too much except to to get the media to portray them as under-educated racists, Islamophobes and antisemites no one would want to employ or marry.
Millennial Woes used to say you cannot be alt-right if you don't hate Jews and want an ethnostate, but I would say UKIP and Trump was alt-right in the sense that they did not represent mainstream Conservatism.
Millennial Woes says he cares about the morality and psychology of the alt-right but won't discuss religion or anything else with me. This is probably because he is an atheist and still in denial that Western Man needs a religion that promotes patriarchy and shames sluts ie Islam
Rather unnecessarily and smugly, Millennial Woes says the alt-right can't be a Chinese, Indian, African or Islamic movement because it is "implicitly white". The alt-right is a Western movement reacting to liberal Western social and economic policies IN THE WEST and rejecting it.
Millennial Woes complains that media portrayal of the alt-right has been a campaign of demonisation but admits that the alt-right are reticent in being interviewed fearing demonisation and ridicule. I could easily represent the alt-right if asked to do so since I do not fear this
"Do you see a relation between the alt-right and religion? Since the alt-right is so societally focused, do you see religion as having a role in organising that?"
"I don't really understand the second part of that question," says Millennial Woes.
Obviously, the question is about whether the alt-right could be more effective if it used religion. My answer is yes, of course, if it uses Secular Koranism - a legal system like EU law and not a political system - to unite social conservatives of all races and religions to overthrow the matriarchy and shoo the feminazis out of public life in the West and then impose a one party theocracy.
In answer to the first part, he says:
Not really. There are Catholics, there are Protestants, and there are pagans and there are atheists. There are multiple relationships so no one single relationship. I don't think by its nature it is an atheistic movement, but I don't think it is by its nature a religious movement necessarily. I think it is a movement that believes in elevating men, Man, people, humans and in that sense you could perhaps call it religious, but that's reaching a bit. I think the alt-right as a movement is fairly indifferent to religion. There are people who obsess over the Middle Eastern origins of Christianity and see that as something that has to be purged and flushed out but then there are people who are hardcore Catholics and Orthodox.
If Millennial Woes were taking question from me instead of blocking me on https://ask.fm/oneparty4all, I would have asked him the following:
Is the rise of the alt-right linked to the failure of Christianity?
Did you know that Conservatism has no declared principles that any Conservative politician can agree on or is prepared to implement?
Is Conservatism about preserving patriarchy through marriage as an institution?
Is marriage the only way to preserve patriarchy?
Is patriarchy the only kind of society capable of producing enough good strong men to defend the national interest?
Is nationalism - the ideology of protecting the national interest - only possible under a patriarchy?
Would you agree that a patriarchy is a society that prioritises the preferences of married fathers?
Would you agree that a matriarchy is a society that prioritises the preferences of unmarried mothers who badly parent their variously fathered illegitimate offspring producing the next generation of unemployable criminals causing a demand for foreign labour from businesses which all governments of all mainstream political parties feels they must satisfy?
Would you agree that feminism causes immigration?
Would you agree that feminism bribes men with fornication to keep men quiescent under the matriarchy?
If religion used to be the opium of the people, is extramarital sex now its replacement in our Age of Atheism?
Is shaming sluts the only way of restoring the patriarchy?
Are the alt-right afraid of challenging feminism because they fear the consequences of having sexual access to feminists withdrawn?
Are virtually all women in the West now feminists?
Can you be a feminist without condoning fornication?
Does everything about feminism undermine marriage and by extension patriarchy?
Is patriarchy impossible without marriage?
Is the sexual liberation promoted by feminism a mortal threat to patriarchy?
If the West had men who are mostly Christian husbands and fathers, would they be putting up with Transnational Progressivism and uncontrolled immigration?
If Christianity has failed, must it be replaced?
If Christianity must be replaced, should it be with Islam?
If Christianity must be replaced, but not with Islam, what religion should be used?
Can white people really do without a religion when their enemies as you see them - Jews and Muslims - have their own?
Could nationalism ever succeed without something more than the idea of expelling Jews, non-whites and Muslims from the West?
Is the failure of Christianity evidenced by the triumph of feminism?
Which is more likely: that the West is re-Christianised or that it is Islamified?
Is your unwillingness to discuss the obvious solution to the failure of Christianity and the need to replace it with a functioning and effective religion capable of restoring the patriarchy by maintaining decent standards of sexual morality due to the fact that most alt-right YouTubers and their followers are unmarriageable men who do not want to think about marriage because they already know no decent woman will marry them?
If the white men can no longer contemplate making the sacrifices of marriage in order to properly parent the next generation, how are they going to arrest the degeneracy of the white race?
For the avoidance of doubt, I feel I must declare that I do not assume that God exists or that He is efficacious. I assume that no deity exists at all and that all moral and religious principles were attributed to God by wise men of the past who deduced that posterity would be less likely to obey the laws of dead men however wise and more likely to obey the laws of an omnipotent, eternal and eternal God whose existence they were indoctrinated into believing over generations and whose existence they prefer to believe in anyway.
The wisest man in China was Confucius. Do the Chinese practice Confucianism? Do they hell. The Chinese are as Confucian as Westerners are Christian.
Can you imagine the current lot of Chinese parents even willingly wanting to have more than one child? They will be moaning and groaning that the their only only child is more trouble and expense than they can bear without losing their insanity. If you are familiar with the rules of Chinese ancestor worship, you will know how these rules brought about patriarchy in China. They were the Chinese equivalent of requiring men to marry and have an heir and at least a spare to ensure that they do not suffer loss of status in the afterlife. This was what caused China to produce an excess of men capable of at least waging a successful defensive war or acquiring empire.
While China currently has plenty of spare men unable to find women http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/gender-01222015125826.html, these men are useless for waging war and acquiring empire because these are the only sons of mothers who will not bear the loss of their only son in battle with the same equanimity as a mother who has more than one son. Yes, sadly for the Chinese, they have fucked up big time with their one child policy, but mysterious and sinister demographic changes are also happening in Taiwan, Korea and Japan who do not have a one child policy. The reason for the below replacement birth rate in the Far East is simple: the availability of the pill and the practice of condoning premarital sex.
All five world religions promote patriarchal moral values. This is because all advanced civilisations are patriarchies and all matriarchies are declining and primitive societies. Rational and decent people prefer to live in a patriarchy while irrational and immoral degenerates who are atheists prefer to live in a matriarchy because they just want to fill their boots with sexual liberation until they are dead with no thought for posterity or their children, let alone descendants.
I trust this is finally clear. I am in particular addressing those who suspect me of being Muslim fanatic. I am just an agnostic who sees the benefit of law and order, progress and peace, which are the products of marriage which brings about social cohesion, patriarchy and rationally small government.
The most profound truths are paradoxical, and the paradox is that it is theocracy that produces minimal and rational good government while sexual liberation produces the abusive nanny state.
1. Women do the cooking but do not conduct the ceremony exclusively the province of the male, but this rule is now more honoured in the breach than in the observance.
2. Confucius was very particular about observing the correct rituals and he must have included this one too, because the Ching Ming Festival - also known as the Tomb Sweeping Festival - is the most important family festival of all, the equivalent of Easter for Christians.
3. The eldest son would be expected to conduct these ceremonies, with his dutiful wife in a subservient role of cooking and assisting. No woman must actually conduct the ceremony herself.
"They have long needle-thin necks because they have not been fed by their family, or as a punishment [for not having dutiful descendants or any descendants at all] so that they are unable to swallow."
Hungry Ghost
3. What if you don't have children? You become a Hungry Ghost and there will be a festival just for you and others like you on the seventh month of the lunar year.
4. What if you don't have a son? You become a Hungry Ghost.
5. What if you have an only son who is a confirmed bachelor? Then you become a Hungry Ghost.
6. What if your only son marries and dies without siring a son? Then you become a Hungry Ghost.
7. If all your offspring are daughters, you become a Hungry Ghost.
8. If all your sons are confirmed bachelors, you become a Hungry Ghost.
9. If your sons have no grandsons, you will become a Hungry Ghost after your last son dies.
10. If you have sons and grandsons galore but neglected to persuade them of the crucial Chinese duty of passing on this tradition to them, you also become a Hungry Ghost.
11. Eventually, everyone becomes a Hungry Ghost and ends up in hell, because, eventually, the Chinese - along with the human race - will die out with no one left to appease the dead. The Ancient Chinese had the idea of entropy and reversion to the mean long before the West thought it up. Maintaining your civilisation is therefore like being a swan - seeking to seem outwardly unruffled but in reality paddling furiously. Keeping women in their place in order to preserve and maintain human civilisation is therefore the most important undertaking of the male sex. In our degenerate times, men are overwhelmingly ignorant of the existence of this masculine imperative. While hell is inevitable for all, rational and moral Chinese men would not want it to be their generation that let the side down.
12. While some religions work using both carrot and stick by using both heaven as an inducement to good deeds and hell as a deterrent to evil deeds, it can be seen that Chinese ancestor worship is all stick and relies absolutely on fear and shame. This also neatly demonstrates that what doesn't kill you can indeed make you stronger and how obedience to these harsh rules have produced a people more resilient and more socially cohesive than most. If you thought being a Jew was high maintenance without much reward, you ain't heard of Chinese ancestor worship. Not even death brings you peace. Even after death life's oneupmanship does not end. You could be exclaiming in despair to the other denizens of the Underworld "O tempora! O mores!" dismayed at the neglect of your descendants if you had any, or boasting that your grave has just been done this year.
A grave of a wealthy family that has not been tended in years. Observe the height of the grass.
These very harsh rules are meant to put the frighteners on Chinese couples to get most of them who can to produce at least an heir and a spare.
Since this ritual is performed annually, it would concentrate the minds of those attending that they had better marry and have sons or else end up being a Hungry Ghost, a much inferior status to being a worshiped ancestor.
This idea is, I would suggest, a more sophisticated version of "Go forth and multiply."
Ancestor worship (in its Chinese form) puts a huge pressure on a man to have children - especially male children (females didn't really count for much when it came to worshipping ancestors, apparently). In the West, the destiny of one's immortal soul rested with oneself alone - on one's own behaviour, one's own standing with God, one's own salvation. For the Chinese, the quality of one's afterlife rested mostly with one's future family. Without male descendants to remember one, and tend one's grave, a person's immortal soul was in jeopardy. People, therefore, would have had to try and have at least two male children (the second one as an insurance policy in case the first one died). This implies, even with the widespread practice of female infanticide, that Chinese families would tend to be larger than Western ones.
Hungry Ghosts do get attention in their special month, but it is more a community ritual than a familial one, less personal and definitely second class. In Ching Ming your grave is tended personally by your respectful and dutiful descendants. In the month of the Hungry Ghost however, you are only appeased collectively with the other Hungry Ghosts since no one any longer knows who you are, because your descendants no longer perform the tomb sweeping ritual for you. Hungry Ghosts who have lost their individuality capable of inflicting malign mischief on the living are appeased namelessly en masse while worshipped ancestors retain their surname, history and location.
Nowadays with smaller families, daughters increasingly also get in on the act, which strictly speaking they are not supposed to do. It is rather like allowing gay couples to marry - a softening of the rules which must not be softened, because they are there for a purpose - the continuance of the Chinese race in the context of a patriarchy in sufficient strength and numbers. However, no filial daughter wants to think of her deceased parents becoming Hungry Ghosts because of a lack of a son, and so takes on these duties which she cannot quite see why she cannot perform for her parents since she is still around and able to perform them with equal ability. She therefore performs these rituals furtively and against the rules, out of loving memory for her parents, but this is not meant to be. To ignore these rules is to ignore their real purpose - to encourage couples to have sons and reinforce the perception of the apparently inferior status of the female.
However even undertaking these duties furtively against the rules but only as a quasi son reminds her that if she were a son she would be able to perform these rituals without being questioned, reinforcing the point that only had she been a son would her parents have the ritual properly performed.
I am sure even in Confucian times there were daughters taking it upon themselves to perform these ceremonies for their parents, which Confucius himself must have frowned on, insistent the correct performance of rituals meant that only those qualified by dint of their sex have the right to perform this ritual - in other words, men only - is key to the enduring patriarchal strength of Chinese civilisation.
You can well imagine more traditional Chinese parents bewailing their fate if they only have a son who happens to be a confirmed bachelor. It is possible that repeatedly asking him if he really wants them to become Hungry Ghosts after he is dead might induce him to eventually marry - however reluctantly - and sire male descendants capable of fulfilling this peculiarly Chinese duty.
The modern Chinese with their one child families should understand that they are now doomed to be plagued by increasing numbers of Hungry Ghosts with each passing generation, whose increasing disgust and anger will reach a disastrous peak at the current generation's neglectful and incorrect practice of ancestor worship as well as the Chinese government's one-child policy and appeasement of the increasingly vocal LGBT activists in China will eventually end their civilisation. If the Chinese continue to disregard this tradition, the numbers of Hungry Ghosts are bound to increase while the numbers of dutiful descendants capable of appeasing them decrease. China is already suffering from the problem of unmarried Slut Single Mothers, which can only be discouraged by the implementation of quran.com/24/2. It is actually rather degenerate of the Chinese government not to do what is necessary to discourage bastardy. Fining these never married mothers would be laughably ineffectual - the perfect example of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted, while jailing them would be too expensive and futile. Slut-shaming as 24:2 of the Koran prescribes is the only way to do it effectively, but do Chinese men dare?
There are far more Chinese men than there are women and they will be wanting to have sex with them. Chinese Men Outnumber Women by 33 Million After Decades of Gender Bias As any heterosexually active man would understand, criticising women who fornicate is probably not the best way of going about trying to have sex with a fornicatress. Chinese men, like men of other races, would find an offer of no-strings sex by a fornicating slut impossible to resist. That the Chinese government take strong action against fornicating Chinese sluts is about as likely as a junkie calling the cops on his dealer, I would suggest. Goodbye, Chinese civilisation, and eventually all the goodies that come with it, especially Chinese food, which is enjoyed globally. Only 24:2 of the Koran will have the necessary deterrent effect on sluts and their running dogs.
How likely are the Chinese to adopt Secular Koranism? http://thevoiceofreason-ann.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/secular-koranism.html When the Chinese revolutionaries adopted Marxism, they displayed a utilitarian cosmopolitan preparedness to do what was necessary to stop themselves from being the weak man of the East. Believing that the Marxist narrative of human progress and a workers' paradise was inevitable, Chinese leaders implemented Communism. Having tried it and seen it fail, perhaps an infusion of Islamic principles would paradoxically bring them closer to the tradition that really made their civilisation endure and kept their people together: that of being a patriarchy. After all, the ancient Chinese practice of kowtowing is indistinguishable from a Muslim doing his prostrations when at prayer.
That there will be more Hungry Ghosts than there are living Chinese to appease them is therefore inevitable under China's disastrous one-child policy. It is only a matter of time before the Whore of Babylon and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse pay the Chinese an unwanted and dreaded visit.
As for the British, it surely takes only a little imagination for the 21st century British to see how furiously enraged their Hungry Ghost Victorian ancestors would be with them by now. Not only do the British not have enough sons to fight the Muslims they so obviously hate and fear, their children are mostly illegitimate, atheist and ignorant of their Judeao-Christian heritage, the most important of which is the sanctity of traditional marriage. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2285670/Most-children-of-British-mothers-born-out-of-wedlock.html Sadly for the British and the West in general, the only marriage Western degenerates support is gay marriage, which would only have the effect of accelerating their degeneracy, making them even riper for an inevitable Islamic conquest.
The dead do not cease their consumerism. These paper goods are for the dead. Burning them is the equivalent of paying for their postage and packaging to the Underworld.
Demographics is destiny and nothing illustrates this better than the application of rules of ancestor worship. You do not have to literally believe in the existence of Hungry Ghosts to see its cultural and eugenic utility of maintaining the patriarchy.
