“How do you demolish the family?” Adam Baldwin asks in today’s episode of The Amiable Skeptics. “You get rid of the father. You get rid of the father and you crowd everyone into big cities.” The cultural, political, and ideological war on families targets fathers first, and that poses a threat to liberty as well.

Welcome back to my VIP video series “The Amiable Skeptics,” featuring my friend Adam Baldwin! Adam is well-known for his long and storied Hollywood career, starting with My Bodyguard, and especially for his roles in Full Metal Jacket, Firefly, its film sequel Serenity, Chuck, and The Last Ship.
Policies designed to break down families leave the state as the only structural authority in place, and Adam connects dots on that to broader liberty concerns as well. Forcing density in terms of housing policies is another form of top-down control, Adam posits. “You know, the war on the car is a war on freedom and individual liberty, and the same thing of war on the father that goes right after one of the two main pillars of the family itself.”
“People who really want to destroy the order because they want to build something else in its place,” I point out, “and whatever it is that they’re building in its place is disastrous. We’ve seen it happen over and over again where you have the family destroyed so that children become essentially wards of the state and are indoctrinated. And? Society breaks down.”
