There is a definite nexus between the "generosity" of a state's welfare system and the number of abjectly "brainless" citizens it eventually produces. Australia and the United Kingdom offer virtually limitless taxpayer-funded "benefits" which have - over several decades - created an enormous "sub-class" of frighteningly dysgenic people who are nothing more than unemployable parasites. In my eyes, the hordes of indolent dregs which lope in and out of Centrelink (Australia) and Jobcentre Plus (UK) for their entire lives do not even deserve to be called human.
As I've said on a couple of previous occasions, one could easily "dispose" of 10-15 % of the White Australian population without adversely impacting upon the nation's productivity (the same goes for the UK). In fact, the Treasury would save billions by no longer having to fund the unemployment "benefits", baby bonuses, "parenting payments", "back to school" payments, bogus "disability" pensions, public housing subsidies, et cetera gifted to lifelong bludgers who have never contributed a single cent of tax revenue themselves. This money could instead be used to build infrastructure, develop industry and agriculture, recruit and maintain military forces whose numbers and capabilities are equal to current geopolitical requirements and - here's the part that's directly germane to this thread - to provide a quality public education system.
As we all know, the education system has been thoroughly debased as a result of gradual infiltration by leftists who have now gained almost total control of the teaching sector. This has inevitably unleashed perennially cascading effects upon society and the most destructive consequence of the long-term implementation of the leftists' policies at government level (apart from non-White immigration) has been the rapid expansion of that dysgenic "sub-class" I referred to earlier. The welfare state has deliberately provided a failsafe system whereby the worst elements of White society can successfully breed at a dangerously fast - and ultimately unsustainable - rate. This unprecedented phenomenon contravenes the very laws of Nature, which dictate that people who are too stupid and lazy to provide for their children may very well produce plenty of worthless offspring but - thankfully - most of those offspring fail to survive as a consequence of their feckless parents' inadequacies and neglect.
The liberal-socialist "redistribution of wealth" via welfare has precipitated a demographic nightmare. Here in Australia, the time-bomb has been ticking for decades but it began ticking even louder in 2002 when the so-called "conservative" Coalition government insanely introduced the "Baby Bonus" payment. Implementation of this policy ostensibly promised "productive, tax-paying citizens of the future who shall help drive the economy". Instead, every public housing Centrelink slag began to churn out brat after brat in order to cop the $5000 per child. The Abos were already breeding like the maggots that they are but You can imagine what happened once the Baby Bonus was added to the equation. Thirteen years later, the fuse has almost burnt through and the bomb is about to explode. The huge volume of bone-idle Whites of patently inferior stock has already surpassed a critical mass and forms an unsustainable burden upon the responsible majority but once the "Baby Bonus generation" begins to come of "Centrelink age" the Treasury shall literally be unable to cope with the sudden massive spike in demand for welfare handouts. Needless to say, the judicial and prison systems shall be similarly swamped - not to mention the effect this shall have upon the "democratic process".
The greater the number of worthless parasites infesting society, the more society moulds itself around the "lowest common denominator" approach to life. Apart from the realm of "entertainment", nowhere is this approach more pronounced than in the public education system.
The shockingly incompetent and openly leftist teaching profession has euphemisms and excuses for everything. Little Brayden isn't a lice-ridden little ****e who's dumber than a sack of turnips. Oh no, he "suffers" from multiple "learning disabilities" that prevent him from achieving his "true potential" (which, I guess, is a metaphor for spelling his own idiotic name...). Foul-mouthed little Tyson, with his rat's tail crew cut and repulsive miniature mugshot face isn't an aggressively disruptive waste of space who'll obviously never amount to anything (apart from a drugged up, tattoo-covered petty criminal houso just like his flat-faced old man, that is...). No, this pint-sized prick has ADHD or some other "syndrome" which - You guessed it - prevents him from achieving his supposed "potential".
I deal with tertiary students on a daily basis and can tell You that a huge chunk of them should never be allowed anywhere near a university - even in the capacity of cleaners. I thought things were bad in my undergraduate days back in the early 1990s when I despaired at the stunning ignorance of many of my fellow students (let alone that of the so-called "academics"...). Now, however, in terms of intellect I'd estimate that close to half of the general student population can be classified as "Darwin Award" candidates. That's "universal higher education" for You...
Here's a vitally important thing which must be kept in mind: one cannot teach a moron anything, particularly if the said moron is unwilling to even make an attempt. The only potential contribution such genetic "welfare" dross is capable of offering society consists of unskilled physical labour. This is how the world always functioned. Unfortunately, the ready availability of bountiful taxpayer-funded "benefits" removes the necessity of working as it negates the traditional exigencies of life thereby creating an entire social stratum of carefree leeches for whom even the most basic of skills - let alone knowledge - are entirely superfluous.
Please accept my apologies for the lengthy rant but consuetudinis magna vis est... :icon_wink:
