And as a gardener (literal) weeds are not the issue. They are often valuable contributors to correcting the imbalances caused by destructive farming practices like killing anything that’s not the one crop you are trying to grow. Also my comment was not about No soldiers but that we have too many specialized in attacking the other and not near enough building value. A tribe that has to attack its neighbors to feed itself is not contributing to this world by creating more mouths to feed.

I’m not talking about attacking neighbors. I’m talking about defending principles that hold civilization together when the culture actively works to dissolve them.
You can permaculture your way to balance all you want. That doesn’t change the fact that some ideas are parasitic, not symbiotic. Relativism about family formation isn’t a “valuable weed.” It’s poison dressed as tolerance.
Building value and defending truth aren’t opposing strategies. They’re the same work.
How about I use a real life instance. My dad works for a rental management company. He got a service order from a house with 3 airforce guys to Tighten the screws on a couple cabinet doors. The guys of the “smartest” branch can’t operate a screwdriver. (Or are too self entitled) I never said anything about No controversy or No soldiers, but a different balance that is not leaving so many necessary jobs unfilled. We have more than enough people saying “the sky is blue” which is what saying “we need to have babies to keep the population up” is. If you really think that most people don’t know that then you’ve fallen for a psyop. People know and some can’t, some have other purposes, and some don’t care. Most of the last don’t need to reproduce or need the powers that be to stop sabotaging the economy/culture so they can see it being reasonably achievable for them.
PS it’s not men that don’t want to have kids. They don’t want to fight the brainwashing of the women they can get on top of all the other challenges. Few men would choose their video games over a decent woman who wants kids.
Your airforce story proves my point. We’ve raised a generation so incompetent they can’t tighten screws. That’s not a labor shortage. That’s a formation failure.
“We need babies” isn’t obvious anymore. Birth rates are collapsing. The culture celebrates childlessness as liberation. If it were common knowledge, we wouldn’t be watching demographic suicide in real time.
Most opting out aren’t facing insurmountable obstacles. They’re facing a culture that made comfort more appealing than continuation.
Your PS is half right. But “I don’t want to fight female brainwashing” is still a choice. Your grandfathers fought actual wars.
Waiting for perfect conditions before building families is how you get extinction with air conditioning.
The Amish are doubling in population every 20 Years. We have other cultural groups that also have high birth rates that are also competent. There are more than 8,000,000,000 people on this planet and still growing. Extinction 😜 we are going through a phase where parts of the culture which are not heading in a sustainable direction are having a birth rate change. We don’t need the population to grow forever. Again I will state that I am still hoping to have a family myself, but we need other things too. In order for the population of the US and Canada to return to pre European estimated population we would have to loose 97% of the population. We were no where near extinct then…
