One thing that tends to cross my mind with this issue is that of how we are a somewhat more infantile and less responsible nation.
We are no longer the society we used to be – thanks to a myriad of events, from loss of industrialisation / manufacturing to increased reliance on the state, perversion of society, religion, education, debt money and materialism, the need for two parents to bring in a wage in order to keep a roof over their heads when it only used to require the male of the household to financially provide for a family unit….etc.
Add on top of this, a long length of “peace time”, relative luxury as a nation, advancements in consumerism, electronic entertainment, selfishness for pleasure. Also loss of interaction in safe environments like dances, proms, societal events, etc. Even if they were available to go to, we have spawned a generation that would not want to go to them. We have been trained to think they are “sad”, for “losers”, “not cool”….
People can often spend more time alone and at home than out with friends. It is a common theme. The art of interaction outside that of a noisy nightclub or outside of a drinking culture is perhaps being lost -especially if you are not into inane celebrity culture, X-Factor competitions, and consumerism.
To some degree I include myself as a sad and tragic by-product of this combination – and I see it in most of my friends of the same age, people in their early-to-mid 30′s.
Many people I know cannot drive a car (and have never had a single lesson to learn how to drive). Many still have to live at home, and are single because they either do not want to share their lives with another long term partner, do not know how to successfully do so, cannot afford it, or fear being taken for a ride financially if they take a chance with somebody (because they law tends not to be on their side). Even those who have had long term partners (unmarried) can suddenly ditch their partner in order to “play the field” before they are too old.
Money is tight, getting on the housing ladder is a nightmare – especially of you want to avoid the worst areas.
Many people in their 30′s are still interested in computer game consoles and shooting up pixelated aliens, buying Japanese comic books, 3d television sets, new iphones, etc, sitting around in their boxer shorts with a lager watching leftwing comedians on TV. Some of the old “ravers” on music forums are proudly still out there at 35+ trying to relive their clubbing heyday on hedonistic drug and booze weekends – even though some of them do have little children, which makes it even worse that they are doing that!.
The age which used to be deep into “adulthood” is now often more represented as being children themselves. This goes for men and women, although a lesser degree with women I suspect. We have been told, from birth, to go to school, get an education, go to college, go to university, ‘find yourself’ get a career – then settle down. Before you know it, you are getting “past it” – pushing 40 and no long term partner or children in sight.
People I know with degrees are working in retail for minimum wage and their time spent gaining a degree and putting their life on hold has not helped them get to where they want to be. Others are working in crummy jobs that they see no end in sight to.
Women are often working long careers, putting off child rearing until they start to panic that it is too late to have the “experience”. (Which is often a “one off” to fulfil that desire, and the relationship with the male often does not last).
Either we are the selfish victims of our own success – or the state of life has been purposefully engineered to present a new generation of whites with a system that is not conducive to furthering their survival. Perhaps a bit of both.
I have even had conversations with two close friends who are women, and they plainly stated that they never want to have children. That may change when they get a bit older, but they certainly aren’t in any rush or desire to raise a family at the moment – and it is not all down to financial costs, it is also selfishness.
Due to what I suspect as being down to societal pressure and expectations, many ‘non-gansgta looking’ Asians in my town seem to be married at 22, have one or two children and another on the way. My parents generation also seemed to marry young, early 20′s, got a place of their own – prefabs or council housing – and had two or three children before they were 32.
The generations are changing, things are being delayed, slowed down. Something is going badly wrong somewhere, and we are working to pay for the welfare and upkeep of immigrant families and their birth rates, rather than be able to keep it for ourselves and have our own!
The whole thing, the whole way society seems to have been set up, seems to be crazy.
While browsing some Nationalist blogs I happened upon this sad and well-put lament on the pathetic modern mind-set. I hope the poster doesn’t mind that I reproduced his post here. It is by “BritishActivism”.
