That Didn't Take Long

As I predicted, a legal challenge is already brewing to legitimize polygamy in the wake of the Supreme Court's lunatic decision, and it's happening in my own state. From the article:

Nathan Collier said he was inspired by the recent Supreme Court decision that made marriage equal. He said he was particularly struck by the words of dissenting Chief Justice John Roberts who claimed giving gay couples the right to marry, might inspire polygamy.

And so this week, Mr Collier and his two wives, Victoria and Christine, entered a courthouse in Billings, Montana, and sought an application to legalise the trio’s polygamous union.

“Right now we're waiting for an answer," Mr Collier told The Independent. “I have two wives because I love two women and I want my second wife to have the same legal rights and protection as my first.”

He added: "Most people are not us. I am not trying to define what marriage means for anybody else - I am trying to define what marriage means for us."

Note how he makes the same self-contradicting argument as the proponents of gay marriage: we just want society to leave us alone, but we will file a lawsuit to compel society to endorse our lifestyle. There is no indication that society is interfering in what he is doing; under the old common law, he could be charged with the crimes of fornication and adultery (he's officially married to one person already), but those are extinct along with any other prohibitions on sexual conduct that "doesn't harm anyone."

The problem is that modern, neo-pagan minds cannot conceive of "harm" as being anything other than immediate, visible, or tangible. The people in this news story may not be physically harming or restraining anyone, but they are indeed attacking what little remains of the fabric of civilization, and they are encouraging others to do so as well. One must consider the consequences of multiplying a given activity many times over, not merely focus on the isolated instance, and it is a mortal threat to civilization to treat marriage as a product to be tailor-made for voracious, shallow consumers like these. If people are not required to live up to marriage, but rather may pull it down into the pit of lust and avarice where they naturally prefer to remain, civilization cannot endure.

When America was strong, robust, and had its shit together, it would lock away these narcissists for being a clear and present danger to society. Now, with everyone being his own god, and with courts poised to ignore the Constitution and compel society to indulge every anti-social activity, our time grows very short.

But perhaps the only solution is to accelerate what's happening and plunge over the cliff. This would allow for the destruction of what is to make room for what will be, just as with old trees that have become infested with vermin and sickness and must burn to the ground so that saplings may grow unhindered. And few things will accelerate societal collapse more than leaving the majority of young men unable to find a wife. Let's push on with polygamy and feed the flames of male aimlessness and discontent, by all means.
