113 - Debtors Prison

Today I'd like to talk about the idea that if a man doesn't pay his alimony then he goes to debtors prison. So, not paying ones alimony is considered a debt worthy of getting a man thrown into prison. I got the idea for this video while I was shooting video for the Toronto Domestic Violence Symposium about a week and a half ago. A few of the people in the audience at that event brought up the idea that not paying alimony gets a man thrown into the slammer which is like a form of debtors prison and that debt prisons were barbaric and that we increasingly use this strategy on on men these days with regards to paying spousal support. The state is willing to incarcerate a man if he's either unwilling or unable to pay his alimony. That's one thing I won't have to worry about with regards to being a MGTOW. I don't have to worry about being thrown in jail for refusing to pay or being unable to pay a woman that I was with in the past. If the day came when I was bankrupt for a different reason I would declare insolvency and restart my financial life. But for formerly married guys without that option they don't get to pass go and collect two hundred dollars. Instead they go directly to jail. Another interesting part of that discussion at the domestic violence symposium centered around the idea that the debtors prison was a barbaric practice written about by Charles Dickens in his novels. Over 150 years ago people were locked up for being unable to pay their public and private debts. The irony today is that governments spend tax payer dollars to lock men up for not paying their alimony. So the corporations involved in the prison system and the lawyers and judges are making the money. The system is corrupt. Also during that discussion I overheard people say that men thrown in jail for not paying alimony would meet with other men in the same boat. And they would discuss how their wives hurt them, divorced them and then took their children away in many cases. So those men meet like minded men and then they fuel each others anger and hostility towards women. Thus feeding into feminist ideas. Feminism is interested in creating misogyny and what better way then incarcerating a man and taking away his liberties. If you treat men like criminals and put them into institutions with criminals then when they come out they are more then likely to become actual criminals. It reminds me of that film blow with Johnny Depp where he says he went into prison with a bachelor of a Marijuana and came out with a PHD in Cocaine. The political system is about three steps. Problem, Reaction and Solutions. People in power often create a problem then react to it as a tool to maintain ortake political power and then offer up a solution to a problem they created in the first place. The court system created the alimony payment structure. Then when men don't pay the money the courts ordered them to pay the courts react and thus find a solution to the alimony payments imposed on people in the first place. And in this case the courts drag people off to prison.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mgtow/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
