Avast ye, ye scurvy dogs! The merry panel o' 'Gutfeld!' be mighty flabbergasted by the hidden treasure known as 'Chesterton's Fence.' Arr, they be scratchin' their heads like landlubbers lost at sea! Har, har!
In this humorous piece resembling the language of a 17th-century pirate, the author discusses the concept of Chesterton's Fence as a rule to never destroy a fence, change a rule, or discard a tradition without understanding its original purpose. The author also adds a joke about breast implants. They argue that many social constructs, both metaphorical and literal, such as Western values and rules, have helped preserve order and create a good life. However, these constructs are being dismantled at a rapid pace, leading to chaos. The author uses examples of literal fences in Israel and metaphorical fences separating Western-style democracy from oppressive regimes to illustrate their point. They criticize the America-hating Western woke elite for opposing what has worked best and question whether they truly desire to export oppressive systems like Hamas. The author further criticizes regressive progressives for tearing down the fences of capitalism and law and order, leading to a surge in crime and social unrest. They mock the notion of institutional racism and highlight the negative consequences of dismantling structures in criminal justice and immigration. The author concludes by suggesting that civilization has been a battle against regressive tribalism and warns against embracing suicidal ideas by tearing down structures without considering their original purpose. They humorously reference Gutfeld's Law and advise those they deem stupid to stay on their side of the fence.
