this make sense in the context of the archaic revival. the power mongers desire to return us to serfdom, then to a nomadic existence, and then get rid of us entirely.

some of us who build have been watching the decline for decades, up close. i could discuss the move to use less durable materials, as well as building styles, until the cows come home. 

this is the result of our "just in time" world. most people are not interested or concerned. this appears at many levels, in many aspects. 

we used to have stores of food for winter. now the grocery "stores" have less than three days worth of supplies. for the vast majority, survival skills are lost arts, things of the past. i am witness to the fact that most builders do what they do out of necessity, because they cannot do anything else. our education system is deliberately subverted. in fifteen years, in the building trades, i never found one person, other than myself, who even knew what the Pythagorean theorem is. this is the building trades as we know them today. i learned them to understand the basis for civilization. the idea of grammar, logic, and rhetoric being the  structure, assembly, and use of language as a metaphor drawn from building is no accident. this was the classical understanding of, and action in the natural world. now the property we own has been made disposable and we, ourselves are well on our way to being next.
