Personally and evident in a lot of cultures, extended families tend to be the more stable. You got an immediate support system and all. While not all extended families are stable, they're at least less susceptible to the issues you find in nuclear households. Nuclear families tend to work if both the finance and bonding is there, but that is hard to achieve.
Both are correct. I have always found white people are more independent than people of color in California unless they're from a rural area or small town/community. In the suburbs and cities white people can easily be cast as the all American family from the suburbs featured in movies or T.V. The only difference is the time period and technology. While colored people are more than likely to be more tight-knit, bilingual, religious and living in communities with others like themselves.
That's not how movements and messages work. If that were true then the SJW movement would have died with the proto SJW cat ladies 40 years ago instead of becoming the ugly monster ripping apart society today.
Well we've had a long period of media demonizing being white, which has become overt in the last decade, and arguably the widespread racism against whites, coupled with the internet turning molehills into fucking PLANETS and a generation+ raised with technology encouraging narcicism, cosmopolitan hedonism, mindless consumerism, and social isolation VIA the closure of IRL hangouts in favor of social media. All that mixed together creates a huge class of self hating white people who have no idea how to handle their emotions nor their stunted maturity, some show this by rioting in the streets in the name of "black lives matter", others show it by passively seething on reddit at the mere act of reproducing and the depraved depths of their own biological urges.
I couldn't agree more I'm also not having children for a number of reasons. Now that my friends are starting to have kids I've noticed them being surprised on more than one occasion when friends and family have stepped in to "help". Like... this is how it's supposed to be. This is normal, or at least it used to be.
Don't forget there's been a growing trend of population decline in Japan and South Korea as people have become very career focused.
That's called the demographic transition and happens to every country over a certain degree of wealth. The USA is also below replacement fertility, they just don't notice it as much because people keep coming over the southern border so the population keeps growing.
The pretentiousness that oozes out of that post is almost lethal.
It is, almost as low as South Korea with a fertility rate of 1.1. The same issues about very high cost of living and child rearing apply, except they have massive immigration so the population is still growing. They basically run like a Gulf Arab state without the oil, using foreigners for their dirty work.
Not in the childfree lifestyle but there is pressure on my wife and I to have kids.
This reminds me so fucking much of the atheist movement back in 2009.
