re: It's sad seeing millennials talk so gracefully about not having kids...

Kids are great, but the world is only getting shittier. I hope things can make a reversal rather than getting worse, but it doesn't seem like kids these days will grow up in as good a world as we did
I agree the world sucks now.. but it’s not like it was that much better when we were kids (im Gen X).. we had Ted Bundy and other serial killers, Make A Wish b/c kids were dying left and right from cancer and other diseases, and we had missing kids on milk cartons.. not to mention the threat of nuclear annihilation (still exists btw) which literally kept me up at night as a 9 yr old .
In my most humble opinion, it’s becuase we now have a world with 8 Billion people (when is as a kid there were 5 bill, it’s hard to keep up)- so the more people you have , the more deviants and miscreants you’ll have, it’s simple mathematics.. so fewer people is a net positive .

we didn’t buy our house when we did, we would have been fricked out of having kids. It’s crazy how expensive it is now.

I think it’s more of an urban issue than rural. Lots of kids still playing ball in rural towns.

Things have changed. It use to be family (kids, parents, siblings, etc) were the most important aspect of a person’s life. Now it is money, traveling, and pets. Definitely signs of a dying civilization.

If someone is openly against the idea or concerned about the kid being mad about being born… don’t have kids but don’t complain when all the smooth brains continue to over populate with shite stain trash kids

This board had an absolute fit last year or two when the concept of just doing your job and going home instead of always trying to get ahead was brought up.
Hell just like last week there was a thread where people couldn’t fathom why people didn’t want to work their way into upper management.

Parentified
I had never heard of it either. Definitely some BS from the participation trophy brigade. The number 1 "symptom" of being parentified is...
1. Grew up feeling like you had to be responsible

I'm convinced the two world wars put us in a tailspin and we never recovered. I think we lost a lot of connection with our past and theres societal consequences for that. We lost the plot, and I think that can happen to empires after massive conflicts.
I dont think the widespread psychological toll of WW2 on society as a whole gets discussed enough. I think the horrors of WW1 did a number on us, and I think for a lot of people WW2 changed them. Values change. The "greatest generation" got the recipe wrong with their boomer kids. Probably not their fault. They did their best.

People scream. build the wall. Stop illegal immigration. And then, they say, I don't want kids. The same ones who don't the walls are the ones killing their own children or not having any. The decent people who are fulfilling their natural roles are hated. We want to save our country for our children, those without don't care. We spend more on our military than the rest of the world. Then we say, we don't want children and give the country away. Godless selfish insanity.

Community, family, faith, culture. Capitalism has destroyed it all.
Marxism has too, but only en route to trying to destroy capitalism.
To be clear, Marxism is not the answer.
Christian charity is.
Capitalism didn't destroy it, consumerism did. We listened to all the commercials telling us we needed those things.
This is just one example, but how many guys have taken their 4-wheel drives off road but paid an extra 2500 for the package?
Do women need $60 mascara? Do kids have to have cell phones and video game systems at 7 or 8 years old?
We thought buying things would fulfill us because corporations told us it would.

The best title I will ever have is "dad."

Pretty sure I posted in that one, and I don't want to be in even lower management

I think a lot of people here sort of have a feast/famine mindset. I figure it comes from growing up broke

They're suiciding a bloodline that had to defy all odds just to get them here. I think its pretty clear they are too weak for the responsibilities of a family. They can call it whatever they want, but I think the reality is our society is in decline to the point that people are choosing to end their bloodlines on the planet. They are a product of generations of ever weakening men. We are way past our peak and we are entering even more perilous stages of our decline.

If only everyone across the board had this mindset. A slowing down in population growth isn't really a bad thing.
