Where no one has the power to punish, no one has the power to manage, and there is no family, just some people temporarily living together.

Who has a 40 year investment horizon and how would they not get their lunch eaten in the short term? Our rulers would rather our women work and agitate than rear.

The indigenous populations of most countries are undergoing managed decline. Software and offshoring have together eliminated the demand for most productive work. And in spite of all of the sub-replacement fertility of the middle- and upper-middle classes, the socioeconomic structure still does not have enough vacancies to support the need of the populations’ youths.

A universal dividend commensurate to the immense per-capita productivity of the modern infoindustrial apparatus is not an option because it would immediately alleviate the financial pressure that is keeping everyone from rebelling.

This is a critical time for the system and it needs to keep the plates in the air until ordinary humans’ martial potential is eclipsed is eclipsed by the nascent technodroid legions.

“Obedient wives”. All y’all talking trash about that are too f**king funny to parody. What most of you clowns actually are would be domesticated animals who are too f**king stupid to recognize the velvet-lined trap you’re in, thinking you run your lives and that your wife does as you tell her. Ninety-odd percent of you don’t even get a say in how your daughters dress, or if they get to pierce their ears, wear makeup, or wear sexy panties. That’s all your wife, and you think you run your household in some significant way. It’s laughable, really… Sheep, all of you.

LOL.

I think most women do want children, although this desire often doesn’t come to the forefront of their minds until they are somewhere around 30. Still time to have several kids, if that’s what they want, IF they are already in a relationship…but if they haven’t found Mr Right yet, maybe not so much.

The pressure on people to get post-graduate education, as well as college, isn’t helping here. Neither is the considerable cost of having additional kids, driven by dysfunctional public education (pay for private school or move to a neighborhood with good public schools, assuming such can be found), expensive college, and land-use practices driving up housing prices.

Forced fertility will never happen. Children cost at scale just as much as at the family level. Who has a 40 year investment horizon and how would they not get their lunch eaten in the short term? Our rulers would rather our women work and agitate than rear. Those few governments who have tried to boost fertility, have not had an effect greater than noise.

Another point: for almost all women completed fertility is lower than desired fertility (which in aggregate is above replacement).

I recommend Lyman Stone, Brad Wilcox’s research on demography. Mary Eberstadt’s book is to this point.

Really successful societies don’t function on authoritarian lines. Each sex has a role/function, and they fulfill it to the best of their ability. The idea that “women are compliant to the male” is a fundamental fallacy, and usually a huge f**king con by the women. Men think they run things, but who the hell is buying the clothes and dressing them? If it’s not them, are they really running their own lives, or are they being “managed”?

It makes me laugh. Ninety-nine percent of the “I wear the pants in my household…” types are the same ones looking over at the wife for permission to go fishing this weekend. And, like as not, all their “friends” are wife-approved, no matter what the longevity of the relationship might have been with their buddies.
