Many people WANT the simpler life with security from extended kinship groups— but the overall culture doesn’t support that. There’s no societal cohesion, not really, so many feel they have to just rack up whatever money they can—since social security (the main kind before) doesn’t exist.

Many older people end lives miles away from the communities where they lived, put in energy, were known, etc., at just the time when they should have it all coming back to them. Their kids went to jobs far away, and then they bring their parents so they can care for them, somewhat—when before, as the parents aged, they would just all be in the same towns.

If one cuts away all the bravo sierra, you get right down to the root cause of all of this crap and it’s the Yank government and it’s Bolshevik policies and population jerry-mandering.

We are all pawns, whether we admit it or not.

There are many complexities in determining why Whites have decided to have smaller families. Back when people had larger families, there probably was an incentive to have children to a) help out on the family farm and b) to have children to take care of them when they are old. Due to industrialization, only something like 2% of the population works in agriculture. There is not an incentive to have children to help work at the company plant or office. For motivation b, due to fairly decent company pensions/401K plans along with government welfare programs for the elderly (e.g. Social Security and Medicare) there is less of a need to have children to take care of parents when they grow old.

Michael had noted the White flight that has taken place in the past. Today I think the opposite is happening. People are getting frustrated with commuting out to the ‘burbs and many are moving back into the city. In many metropolitan areas the cost to live in the city is out of reach for an average middle income family. Take the grand spectacular “New South” city of Charlotte, NC. There are neighborhoods like Dilworth where people built very modest 800-1000 sq ft ramblers back in the 40s and 50s. Now, people are paying $1M per acre for the parcels those houses are sitting on. It is not unusual for people to pay $250K for an old house that sits on a 0.2 acre parcel in that neighborhood only to raze the old house and erect $800K to $1M McMansion in its place. This is happening in a lot of places. A lot of the commuting that you are seeing nowadays may be due to the high cost of living in the city.

Michael also mention that his grandfather was able to raise a family on a very modest income. Today, many people don’t want to settle for the modest 800 sq ft home and a serviceable vehicle parked outside. Today, people want the 3000-4000 sq ft McMansion (even though fewer people live in it), the $60K luxury SUVs parked in the garage, and the latest electronic toys and gadgets. In order to afford all of this, in most cases it takes two incomes and reducing the size of the family. Many people are happy with this arrangement but I don’t see much benefit in placing the almighty dollar ahead of a close knit family for Southern culture.

Just my 2 cents.

The other important reason reasons that young couples in particularly don’t get married is the health benefits. If a woman gets pregnant out of wedlock and stays at home taking care of things there… the state will pick up the entire tab from prenatal care to post-delivery care for the child. In addition, they often qualify for other government benefits such as WIC and food stamps. They will then justify this behavior by pointing out they have been forced by the government to pay taxes and they are simply getting back some of the money stolen from them.

On the other hand, there are good legal reasons to get married. If I got married and she stayed at home my tax burden would be reduced by about $3,500 for the 2012 tax year.

What it has morphed into is that now women make almost as much as their husbands (which, point of fact, married couples are now declining thanks to the moral decay brought on by Yank government programmes and stupid entertainment shaping society), so now they’ve gotten fat and happy and not replacing themselves..so now we’re in a pickle.

I speak from experience as we were a part of this group and have only two children. Had I woken up about 10~12 years ago maybe that would have been different, but now my wife cannot have children anymore, so I just have to fight another way.

BTW, that should be Alternative Right

Sounds like Detroit, LA CA, Sacramento CA, just to name a few. Not only does this decline impact all socioeconomic levels in the community, but every time there is a white migration to a new area it usually means that more farm land has bee destroyed to make these new communities putting even more of a burden on the farmers to grow food. Just take a look at the central valley in CA between Fresno and Sacramento. In my neck of the woods here in Caroline County (we are 60 miles south of D.C.) the migration has had a huge impact on the farmers here. Land speculators are driving up the price of farm land. This in turn encourages the farmers to sell out to a developer. 200-300 acre family farms are disappearing at an alarming rate. Diversity wrecks everything in it’s path from families to whole communities to economies. Jus sayin.
