Militaria

The Greek city-states of classical antiquity widely indulged in social engineering. The two most familar examples are Athens (mother of democracy), and Sparta (rival of Athens, mother of the secret police). Athens had other rivals for hegemony, and these other rivals also indulged in social engineering.

The city of Corinth was a large trading power, noted for its 'black figure' pottery. Pottery being darn useful to ship trade goods in, back then in the days before plastic and steel. Being a trading nation, they found it useful to celebrate temple prostitution.

The city of Thebes was able to create an elite military force that was able to crack Spartan military domination. The unit was called The Sacred Band; it was composed of homosexual lovers, who fought side by side. Defeating the Spartans was no small achievement.

The elites who control our society are also indulging in social experimentation. Not too long ago, feminists considered prostitution to be bad, a form of male oppression of the female gender. Now, they have changed their minds. Could our social engineers also consider a Sacred Band solution to the gays in the military problem? The hostility to homosexuality is largely attributable to the influence of Christianity. So, with Christian morality in the garbage bin, the engineers can look to ancient models ... like the Sacred Band.

Although we were promised that gay marriage would not lead to polygamy, it seems to be coming anyway. Abortion was promised to be a last resort, but now seems to be the method of choice for birth control. Gun control was promised to be the end of gun crime, but criminals seem reluctant to obey the law. Official intolerance of Christianity is allowing our ruling elites to contemplate legalization of prostitution. I expect them to promise that temple prostitution will not happen, and that it will.

Given our rapid evolution back into the morality of the Roman Empire, we will soon find ourselves in conflict with religious fanatics. The Christians are under control through taxation and activist overwatch. Other religious fanatics are not; and our activist leaders will soon find that Religious-Fanatic-Canadians take a dim view of gay marriage, abortion, and prostitution. What could be more politically correct than to resurrect the Sacred Band? A purge of the Canadian military of white Christian heteronormatives requires that they be replaced. Who better than a rainbow coalition of non-Christian poly-gendered village peoples? I am confident that a politically correct military will make Canada proud in its primary role of Peacekeeping, especially fighting against hordes of bloodthirsty religious fanatics, bent on destroying our multi-culture that embraces abortion, polygamy, pagan worship, and prostitution.

Me, I get to stay home and pay taxes. Activists, they get to fight for what they believe. So, activists, go sign up for the Sacred Band.
