It takes a village . . . Or something like that.
No fathers and mothers paying zero attention to kids. God of course, is right out...
I know!!! Lets blame video games for the problem.
Take away the right of the parent to paddle their little butts and you get a generation of “little savages”.
Just: Duh!
I don’t believe government pushed women into the workforce in order to reap the benefit of more tax income. I find it far more probable that women themselves wanted to work or were forced to work due to economic circumstances.
I’m old enough to remember when most women were stay at home moms. I often heard two-earner families talk about how much they enjoyed the extra income. In most cases, the women weren’t really forced to work. They were told they weren’t really equal if they didn’t have a career, and the families wanted more $ to spend.
That’s not to say there weren’t some families where the woman was forced to work. There were, but in many of those cases, the family’s own inept handling of their finances, i.e. too much debt, create the need for the woman to work.
That said, the left has this vision for the future that’s pure fantasy. They believe in all sorts of nonsense, like men and women are basically the same, that sex is a mere animal act (if it feels good, do it), that same-sex relations are the same as heterosexual unions, that schools and daycare centers can better raise children than the parents, that a single mom can raise a child as well as two parents, etc.
It’s all fantasy, and we’re all going to pay for it as American culture devolves. We aren’t entering a brave new world. We’re devolving into tribalism, paganism, and the law of the jungle.

Poverty and Violence
Oliver James is a psychologist who researches social issues. His 1997 book Juvenile Violence in a Winner-Loser Culture attempts to find out exactly what it is about poverty that seems to lead to an increase in violence in young men. His conclusions are:
Low income for families causes depression in parents, and most importantly, in mothers, and depressed mothers bring up depressed and angry children.
A ‘winner/loser’ culture portrays owning possessions as the most important symbol of social status and identity. This makes those who do not own the right car/ house/ jacket/ bank or store account feel like ‘losers’ (social exclusion) instead of just poor — thus creating conditions for aggression.
What I thought was important about his research was that it showed how poverty created the conditions for violence. The link is psychological as well as social and economic. It is because of how poverty makes people feel about themselves, and others, that violence becomes a way of getting rid of these painful and unmanageable emotions.

Who's the father at home? A female. Who's the father figure in daycare? Females. Who's the father figure in nearly all schools? Females. Get a clue!
Interesting that a liberal lashes out at a situation that would not exist if not for the liberal revolution that changed things so the average family cannot get by with one paycheck...
“”Hey, their mamas and daddys may not whoop them but ole Uncle Si ‘ll tear their tale up.””
The contemporary state is at war with human society, and it is winning. People everywhere seem determined to learn about socialism the hard way.
Luckily for humanity, even the worst of these socialist scourges eventually burn themselves out.
There are no thousand-year reichs.
It is interesting that in almost all situations people will work out a way that works best, then use it for years without problems.
Then there shows up someone who says...”I’m from the Government. I’m here to help!” and everything that worked goes to hell in a handbasket.
It has been established that children raised by a single parent is 60% more likely to criminally offend than one raised in a heterosexual two-parent family.
This is because children with male and female parents are raised in a “success” mode; but those raised by a single parent are raised in a “survival” mode. These “survival oriented” children compete for single advantage, not cooperate for mutual advantage, and as teenagers are far more likely to become gang members and substance abusers.
Young children do best with a tight affiliation to just their family until *about* age five. They need lots of physical contact to neurologically develop, and a strong understanding of who is family, and who is not, and that if they feel any risk or possible threat, they need to rejoin their family immediately.
This does not mean complete isolation, but that their parents need to be nearby when there are strangers, even in day care. Just abandoning them there, even for a few hours, almost assures they will feel risk and have no one to flee to.
BTT!!!!
Most day care has little adult influence, it’s like Lord of the flies!
