The Economist: ‘Cousin marriage is probably fine in most cases’

February 17, 2024 | | Print Article

The Economist has gone on record with its endorsement of incest in a piece that argues that marriage between cousins, long a taboo in much of the United States, is perfectly fine.

The UK-based gospel for elite opinion is a must-read for the globalists who have made it their mission in life to impose their twisted “values” on the peasants, and in coming out in support of relatives entering into wedlock – and sexual relations – the publication further illustrates the disconnect between the ruling class and the ruled.

In the article titled “Cousin marriage is probably fine in most cases,” the publication notes that while such unions are currently prohibited by law in half of the states, the risk of genetic defects in offspring produced by relatives is minimal and that there is an “ick factor” in much of Western culture that exists with such inbreeding.

“The Bible does not directly ban sexual relations between cousins—how else would all of mankind have descended from Adam and Eve?” the article says, suggesting that God himself set the precedent for incestuous unions.

“In some cultures, marriage between close family members is encouraged today. It secures wealth and reinforces social connections within the family. It might even make marriages easier, on the optimistic assumption that the in-laws are more likely to get along,” the outlet stated.  “No European countries ban marriages between first cousins…”

The cringeworthy article drew a strong response from X users with many seeing it as continuing down the slippery slope of normalizing degeneracy.

The Economist notes that such marriages are currently illegal in 25 American states.

“The law against first-cousin marriage is a major form of discrimination,” the article quotes expert Robin Bennett of the University of Washington who said that for the children of cousins, “the risks are very low and not much different than for any other couple.”

“Yet despite the fairly low genetic risk for most couples, the ‘ick’ factor prevails in Western culture. The family dynamics can be difficult to explain to others. Many consanguineous couples choose to keep quiet, says Ms Bennett. For this reason, it is difficult to know how many of these couples exist in America,” according to the publication.

It’s probably only a matter of time until The Economist pitches bestiality because many think that’s the direction this is heading.
