WELFARE WEAKLINGS

The Devil is in the choice of word: the extremist welfare states love to go on about THE WEAK. Just like back in the day women were supposed to be the weaker sex (rrright, says any child-bearing veteran and home-makers doing it on their own), now we have swathes of priority social categories that are supposedly weak.

But it is not for the weak to actually be exposed and marginalized. It is tough out there on the fringes and down at rock bottom. And most of us are not weak at all.


Just like a hammer looks for nails, the client-creating Scandinavia wills the weakness into being. And then it takes our supposed weakness and hits us over the head with it:

If you are weak, they can do anything to you. And they will.
