     @RadixVerum This guy simply doesn’t have the right vocabulary. What he’s describing is Momma Bear Energy

     @RadixVerum We were talking about this the other day and we’re feeling like it’s increasingly common. I think a lot of women are seeing what’s happening, feeling the tides shift and their getting their hackles up because they know the scourge is creeping closer.

     Before you’d only see troon stage shows in californian cesspools, now it seems like every perverse pageant is taking place in a “conservative area”. Moms are more in touch with that protective instinct, I guess.

     Yeah absolutely. I know I would die for my child, she's so precious to me. Being a mom is also super important for young ladies to develop that nurturing, caring, soft side - especially for modern women who seem so miserable and bitter.
     
     Children bring joy and laughter and unconditional love.

     @RadixVerum NO one really notices how cancerous it is to have the number of children we do today. Look at old pictures of public settings and everyone has their kids with them, moms are shopping with theirs, families out and about with a handful of them hovering around…

     Having children around brings out certain protective instincts in everybody. We’re a little softer, nicer, patient, and a lot less crass. This weird culture we’ve built up where it’s totally cool to talk about perversions and swear all the time is gross when you think about how that would be received with kids present.

     It just feels like most people out and about are the creepy, dirty uncle that used to make sex joxes all the time.

     @sj_zero @RadixVerum I think a lot of the excess - in all its forms - is simply the result of people trying to stay high and obfuscate those natural, healthy instincts gnawing at the back of their mind. They know they need to live better, they know they need to turn it around, but they just keep going to the trough of degeneracy to take bigger and bigger doses, chasing the high they felt at the very first sip

     But the well can’t stay wet forever.

     The culture has tried to logic us out of our basic human instincts, and as a result there's a deep seated need to build something for the future that's going completely unfulfilled. That's where we end up with all this insane degeneracy, because their biology is screaming that they're screwing up something important and they can't understand what since they're living so completely according to what the culture tells them is logical.

     @Boomerman @PvtProperty @RadixVerum I work with a boomer who is one of 8 siblings, every time I remark about how I wish I had that he poohs it citing the QoL faff that comes with being sealthy.

     Newsflash guy: We aren’t going on vacations anyways, I’m not missing out by having kids.

     @PvtProperty @Paultron @Boomerman @RadixVerum We have multiple feminist career aunts, one went into management and got pretty high up in that first wave of “women can do ANYTHING!”

     She ignored everyone in the family, always made it known she had no interest in kids, and ended up in a home because she doesn’t have anyone to lean on. Meanwhile her sisters keep telling their kids that they wouldn’t blame them for doing the same but they refuse.

     I don’t know how people aren’t terrified about old people. There’s no way we had this level of alzh. and dementia back in the day

     @PvtProperty @WashedOutGundamPilot @Boomerman @RadixVerum having gone to "fun" places before, it's kinda shit with just 2 and extremely shit alone

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @PvtProperty @Paultron @Boomerman @RadixVerum you ever think that, and this is gay and materialist to think about it this way but, having a purpose instilled in you in some way, even a vague one with the way some people were, besides relying on biology taking course (or I guess this is part of biology, too, in a way), helps stave off alzheimer’s and dementia more so than without?

     if you have a family, you have a purpose, sure. that’ll drive you forward, but if your family rarely visits you after the kids grow up and move out, and the same is true of your peers, idk you just seem to be dawdling around doing nothing, sharing your memories/experiences with nobody. not passing on knowledge to younger generations.

     you pass the time with games, TV, and other entertainment, but those are all distractions before you have to do something important eventually. they’re pastimes.

     if you have nothing to look forward to while passing the time, then you’re just passing time til you die.

     why bother keeping the brain cells going if that’s all you’re doing? your brain is not wholly inelastic or incapable of minor regeneration as you age, but it has less reason to do so or maintain itself well if you aren’t engaging it in more than just.. passing the time.

     this is rambly but tl;dr, when communities were more tight knit it was easier to not only check up on the old folks, but for the old folks to interact with everyone else, and the manifold social interactions maintained them far better than whatever stupid drugs they’re concocting. I’m sure it still happened, just not nearly as much.

     I’m sure this is not the only cause.. so it’s just another variable. a variable the system has no intention of rectifying, other than VR headsets and robotic servants. or just offering suicide booths.

     things have been changing so swiftly in the past century or so that a lot of the advice the older people have for their kids is obsolete because it comes from their experience in what was quite literally a completely different world with completely different rules and survival strategies. See the boomer ask to speak to the firm handshake manager bootstraps stuff. Sure it's a nice thought but it's just not applicable in the same sense that it was.

     @Paultron @PvtProperty @Boomerman @RadixVerum @WashedOutGundamPilot Correct. Vacation, Christmas, etc. with no kids? "This sucks I'm just doing what I could do at home but I'm renting a room for some stupid reason ugh this sucks."
     
     With kids? Magic and wonder, everything old has been remade anew.
