“You see, for ages, women were denied the right to experience just how awesome a career really is...”

It’s so excruciatingly awesome that women are now collectively too exhausted, not feeling well, angry, pissed, combative, argumentative etc to want to engage in the procedure necessary for becoming pregnant.

As a former stay at home mom, I’d say the financial reasons are understated. I had the time to shop for the best deals for nearly everything.
We had family meals everyday and time on the weekends for recreation. After all everything having to do with the household was completed during the week.

When you subtract all the expenses that result from both working: Day Care, Transportation etc., that second job really doesn’t pay off that much, over one spouse staying at home.

I tried that one on my wife, but she reminded me that with no kids in the house there is no way I can stay home and putter around the house :)

You should read up on current research if that is your opinion.

That’s not true of all Americans.

All the ebt recipients are taking up the slack. And with the newly passed increase in child credit payments it will incentivize them even more.

I'm from Mississippi, the welfare capital of the U.S. What you say is absolutely true, the welfare class is full speed ahead on the birth rates while the taxpaying class has hit the brakes. Having children to get on welfare is the chosen career for many young women today. They know that having five or six kids pays a lot more than any job they can get with a worthless diploma awarded for just showing up at school. It's not couples having kids either, those five or six kids will be from at least three different fathers. Welfare mothers cranking out future welfare mothers will be the destruction of our country.

This is fatuous. The trend of decling birthrates in developing countries has been going on for the last 150 years or so. During most of that time married women were expected to be housewives. Nothing any developed country has tried to reverse this trend has worked.

There is a link between the beginning of industrialization/development and a population boom. Then, as a country develops, the birth rate starts coming down, and down and . . . Always.

The phenomenon is now so widespread that worldwide birthrates are expected to begin to decline around midcentury.

“Welfare mothers cranking out future welfare mothers will be the destruction of our country.”

And white leftists are incentivizing more of this while we on the right are incapable of doing anything about it because we’re so afraid of the word “racist”.

So what are the options for right wingers given that they’re afraid to fight?

1. Continue taking it until the whole country is reduced by garbage.

2. Flee to some other, saner country? Where?

3. Hope that a fairy will come along and rescue us?

4.??

Feminism is poison.

I believe the derivation of the word "virtue" is operative in a the discussion of why nations etc. fail:

virtue (n.):c. 1200, vertu, "moral life and conduct; a particular moral excellence," from Anglo-French and Old French vertu "force, strength, vigor; moral strength; qualities, abilities" (10c. in Old French), from Latin virtutem (nominative virtus) "moral strength, high character, goodness; manliness; valor, bravery, courage (in war); excellence, worth," from vir "man" (from PIE root *wi-ro- "man")... source

There is at least one shining example in history on the the effect of loss of virtue on a government:

"If such an institution, which gave the people an interest in their own government, had been universally established...the seeds of public wisdom and virtue [my emphasis] might have been cherished and propagated in the empire of Rome,’ which ‘under the mild and generous influence of liberty’ … might then ‘have remained invincible and immortal."-- Gibbon, Edward, and Hugh Trevor-Roper. The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

A great number of American men and women have abrogated the roles nature demands of them to ensure a successful, continuing existence. And, as always, I speak as solid "C" history major.

Maybe traditional Americans (who have the children) don't want to bring children into what's looking more and more like a soon to be commie hellhole...

There's reasons there are fewer and fewer babies around the world. The 'elites' have cornered the market on 'nice place to live'... they want that only for themselves. Which is why they open the borders to any future servant willing to walk across. And why they destroy the micro cultures of Americans of all colors and faiths... Makes us better servants too.

The new hellhole will be filled with warring (ginned up by democrats) racial groups.

It's the grandparents that push for kids and grandparents are NOT pushing for grand kids ... let the hoards of illegals fill up the place.

They'll recreate the hellholes they fled from - without our laws that's what will happen. The 'elites' don't like the freedoms granted in the Constitution... they don't like honest elections they manipulate. They don't trust the people - because they fear we will see what horrible people they - the 'elites' are...

It's not as if the world isn't filled will hellhole countries run by self appointed thugs who feel entitled to make run things.

So why not one more?

Let them fight with each other... over who's the biggest victim. Who deserves more pity parties... With any luck our kids and lines will quietly die out. When white liberal ‘elites’ have the country they wish for they can leave their grand-kids to live in it. That will be the ultimate 'justice'... and revenge.

Hi.

I recommend more babies and less time in the career.

Why? From a personal perspective, sex is generally more fun than work.

Report: Americans’ Obsession With Careers Is Contributing To Our Dangerous Lack Of Babies

Nope.

I'd say that KILLING 20-25% of the babies before birth is creating the lack.

How many do we need?

We can get an INSTANT 1,000,000 every year by making abortion what it USED to be: ILLEGAL except in VERY rare cases.
