Incest is absolutely legal in most of the world and has been so for a long time! yet where it is legal it is still frowned upon apparently. but it does happen and there is no prosecution where it is legal. what is it rate of occurrence..and what are the relationships like in those countries?
are they facile relationships, in keeping with traditional relationships? are they replete with dysfunction, break-up and sundry..
what are the states and condition of any children that have flowed from such relationships
yet to see a study or real life incest where it is legal..like Spain, Portugal, France..in the USA in the states where it is legal...in Latin America where there is legal incest in just about all the countries there..in Canada where it is legal to marry your aunt or uncle.. all other incest is still illegal?
and there are more countries where incest is legal..or there are at least no laws against incest: China, Turkey, Japan in particular... where incest appears to be more than less routine and regular behavior.
and as listed, in all these countries incest couples can have children without prosecution. how does incest proceed in these countries?
and there are still more countries where incest is 'legal'. incest is indeed 'legal' over most of the world. incest is not now and never was a universal taboo.
Incest as 'universal'Taboo appears to be a christian religious development. Europe evolved the christian church and slammed incest hard by doctrine, yet made a safe place, a haven really, in the church/christian religions for homosexuality. the Catholic church in particular reeks of homosexuality, so full of homosexuality it exudes homosexual activity, criminality really, from the religious pores of that church.
the catholic church has been a safe zone for homosexuals for so long it appears all men in that church are homosexual pedophiles. to have your male children in the catholic church is apparently, to put them at serious risk of homosexual molestation.
are people really aware of the facts relevant to the issue of incest? indeed of all issues with which we are now confronted..like incest for one?
are we aware for eg..that the rise of the issue incest in the public consciousness, has occurred the same time, or rose up at the tail end of the struggle that has successfully legalized homosexuality in some countries..while and there is pressure to legalize homosexuality internationally?
what may be the why of this conjunction..if there is a why to it at all?
to my mind it is surely related to, or is a manipulation by the social power that for reasons of its own exploitative interest, wishes to see the end of the incest taboo where it is still illegal
the intent apparently..to destroy all anti-incest habit and custom everywhere, even where incest is already legal but retains anti incest behavior, custom and tradition?
why would any power want this and actually work against habitual and traditional anti incest custom..just like it finally overcame anti gay antipathy on all levels of existence in some countries...assuming of course that relevant to gay legality and that of incest the power involved is the same!
it is indeed the same power...and the goal appears to be the same, in addition to the effects legal homosexuality will have, is having on society...the breakdown of traditional social bonds that have customarily organized society in ways that make humans resistant to social control by minority forces and powers, for the purpose of permanent exploitation, and routine domination of all social activity
when people see their way of life clearly as good and right, they can easily be solid in opposition to challenges to that way of life they see as deleterious..like the challenge posed to society by extreme capitalist exploitation, pollution of the environment eg.
so to try to control people absolutely it is better to take away their existential social moorings-the way they have lived for long.. set them adrift...while at the same time insinuating corrupt ways of life into the social fabric, that erode all they saw as good and right, practical, customary and in tune with their collective survival.
whether their customary ways are indeed in tune with their survival is not the question. as long s they see their way as such is quite sufficient. and if it has worked for substantial periods of time to keep life stable, even more so
therefore regardless of the any factual argument about incest as deleterious or benign and for that reason to be accepted as routine behavior by society it is clear that the way the issue has risen suddenly as one that confronts society with a need for its resolution in the affirmative..like homosexuality before it seems to me to be an attack on society itself with a view and intent not in keeping with the general well being and benefit
in this manner Incest legality and routine acceptance should be generally rejected, shelved until such future time as it may emerge again, in a 'normal' way out of routine ordinary human behavior, not drive by minority special interest through their absolute minority control of media, education in the schools and all forms of communication.
for there ever to be such a thing there would have to be social change that overturns social control, placing the control and power in society into the hands of the people, eliminating all minority coercive social power.
society in that way would heal itself..and in such a dispensation the issue of homosexuality certainly will not be handled the way it is now. Homosexuality will be removed from any exemplary role it is now been given..as normal sexual behavior free and good for anyone to participate in
and in such an ambient, a social ambient of freedom and truth informing all human decision making and subsequent behavior an issue of incest legality may never arise...in fact it is legal over most of the world already and it may remain so. illegality for all sexual behavior may indeed be removed everywhere, in the process of reforming religion..or eliminating it altogether for it is in religion where all sexual/relationships dysfunction begins and are proliferated and worsened.
religion is the problem..and its removal should take all those social problems with it. bury them all in the churchyard while turning the churches into museums, libraries and whatever functions the people best use for them
