re: 'Insane Chart On the Death of Marriage'

Is that chart suggesting that almost 50% of women in 28-34 have a bachelor degree? I don’t believe that for a second.

I was wrong. That is shocking honestly

A 4 year degree ain't what it used to be.

We don’t need people to avoid declining birth rates. There is no net gain by importing illiterate foreigners.

There is no point in getting married for most people anymore. Not enough men with the kind of wealth or trajectory of having it for women to want to harpoon them. If I’m just being frank.

If you want a better looking marriage rate, you’re wanting most of the things Bernie talks about tbh. It’s going to take subsidization directly and indirectly.

Its a byproduct of affluence.

The poor people dont get married anymore, they just have kids with baby daddies. The rich get married, but arent having kids.

A 2025 study by the Marriage Foundation found that only about one in five couples from the poorest households are married, compared to almost three-quarters of couples from high-earning households.

No. The death of America will be the 30 to 40 million Illegal Immigrants we have here.

People like us probably didn’t start having kids until their 30s because they spent their 20s saving to buy a house and paying off student loans.

So we will have fewer kids than morons who have been rutting since high school.

No, it's a bad thing.

The result of the social upheaval of the 60s and 70s that have shaped public life ever since...is what happens when lawlessness is codified as something to be attained and not resisted

This plus the pill and abortion.

Parents not committed to raising kids dont need to have kids.

What used to happen is that people would rise to the challenge that they found themselves in a challenging situation. Now people just wilt and walk away, the consequences be damned.

Nobody is ready to have kids before they do it. That's why it's a transformational experience. You go from being completely self-centered and selfish to putting the needs and wants of other human beings first.

You have to become a parent. And that's the process described above.

The human race has survived for as long as humans have been around because people were willing to raise offspring instead of abandoning them to die or eating them.

The fact that people en mass aren't willing to do that any more is the problem. And it's a big one.

It's like all of a sudden the vast majority of the population stopped wanting to eat, or have sex, or some other basic requirement for the survival of the species.

What you're saying is the equivalent of, "Well, people who don't want to eat shouldn't do it," while ignoring the obvious conclusion that 80% of the population not wanting to eat is a big 'effing deal.

They aren’t concerned about the decline of consumers. They are concerned about a decline in taxpayers.

They are concerned about both, but your point is well taken.

Unless people want to start paying twice the taxes we pay now, or have the government collapse under its own weight in about 20-30 years, they better get to procreating.

And importing millions of people of different cultures who are still willing to procreate to make up the difference has its own catastrophic cultural problems.
