Bro, you absolutely NAILED it talking about how women want to have kids but don't want to actively raise them.

[@mikesteelheart]

They just view kids as status symbols to make other women jealous with how perfect their life "appears" to be. Kids don't really care about having cute clothes, 100 toys, and living in a mcmansion. They want their mommy to raise them, not darecare. If women really cared about their kids they'd be stay at home moms in a modest home for a husband who makes 40k with one car, and NO daycare. But of course appearances are more important than actual happiness of children or even their health.

I have a lot of family members who vote Democrat left. When I scratch the surface of their positions, I ALWAYS discover that they vote that way because of fear and hope. They are all fearful of what other people 'might' do (use guns illegally, infect other people, vote for 'Trump', 'we must support the alphabet person!' while not actually doing anything measurable, etc..), rather than what people actually do. They also base their votes on the 'hope' that Problem X will get magically fixed by 'government', w/o actually knowing whether said 'government' actually has a plan. I've given up pointing out the irrationality of these positions. When people make decisions emotionally rather than rationally, there's no swaying them from that position.

Most girls will start this behaviour at twelve or thirteen. They already see themselves as adults and don’t realize how bad they look. The internet is a mighty foe but be ready for many fights. She will test your will, don’t be afraid to show her your boundaries even if it means that she could be afraid of you. Your wisdom will come through to her in the future. Hopefully, you will send her to private school where there will be dances, ( in my day, they were called cotillions) where she will meet boys from other schools, the whole thing strictly supervised. Encourage her talents and interests. Try to keep her away from malls or hangouts. Believe me, if she meets a bad guy, you might not be able to get rid of him. Be twice as vigilant if she is pretty! You know what men are like. So by the time she becomes eighteen, she will have a strong sense of self, an education, and headed for her own goals. At this point, you can stop holding your breath.

Australia is a good choice but things will collapse here, we are voting in terrible and stupid governments but it will take another few decades to completely destroy. If something like 50 percent of tradesmen walked out and moved somewhere else it would accelerate the collapse. As they leave it would trigger other productive men to leave. The general rule is the square root of the number of employees do 50 percent of the actual work. It only takes small numbers of men to leave to allow the other small number of men to do 50 percent of the work - they leave as the work load increases on them. By rights productive men could collapse the rotten edifice by simply walking out for 3 weeks. No truck moves, no aircraft moves, nothing is fixed, nothing is installed, no food is produced, the power plants , water plants fall silent.

Government Programs not only require paying salaries of Government Employees working within those programs but also the salaries of management and legal teams to ensure compliance. So there is an overhead to government programs replacing the functions that were done in the past by housewives in raising their children. This overhead actually raises the total cost per child being raised. It would be in theory subsidized by taxing non-parents or parents of adult children by spreading the cost. Invariably public schools, daycare centers all involve themselves with attempts at social re-engineering through indoctrination. Under the theory that most human behavior is learned and not genetic. This theory was disproven by the Soviet Union. One does not teach a human being to not be greedy and altruistic. Nor more than one can wish away the laws of supply and demand and market value and the efficiency of capitalism by using a command economy which invariably results in gross inefficiencies results is massive shortages of needed products.

You were spot on about the last Canadian Federal Election. I worked the election, and I was amazed at how poorly informed or outright ignorant the typical voter was about the candidates, let alone the issues. I had one who opened her ballot card asking me “which one is the Liberal guy?”, another asked “which one if FOR Trudeau?”. The worst one had said that they couldn’t find Biden’s name on the ballot. I thought they were trying to be funny and laughed out loud. She gave me this icy “How dare you!” stare…she wasn’t kidding, she really thought she was there to vote for Biden. I tried to be diplomatic and explained that he was the sitting US President, and would not therefore be on a Canadian ballot. I never once had anyone ask “which one is the Conservative guy?” Or “which one is for Maxime Bernier?”. Makes me realize the Liberal’s voter base.

A big problem is that western societies get older and more feminine. Old people and wahmen prefer security over risks, but the future is made by those who are willing to take chances. The future isn't female, it cant be. Masculinity beats femininity in a free competition every single time. Thats why theres never been a matriarchal empire. And when we put rules in place to favour femininity over masculinity all that happens is that we lose at a higher level.

In the western world the democracy has come to a point where is no longer functioning.
