True.

I think the best approach would be to make male custody default in all cases where there isn’t abuse desertion or the like. An male can contest custody with a DNA test and except in certain situations where he knows the kids aren’t his and agrees up front , this means he doesn’t have to care for them

This reduces cuckoldry by a huge margin

In the event the woman is not married or engaged at the time of pregnancy and the male parent can’t be had , she doesn’t get custody as the law assumes a woman who has an out of wedlock birth is categorically unfit to be a mother.

This would basically stop baby daddies in most cases since no one wants to spend the next 18 years on a child support beef and it would make sure women and men use protection without interfering much in personal relations

The best effect would be a huge reduction in single parenting. This won’t be policy though on account of female voters and frankly even if this could happen, the results would be as much as a 30% fertility decline. This would cause a massive freakout in the government as the TFR would hit around 1.2 overall, 1.1 for Whites which is Japan level and a growth and looting based economy wouldn’t be able to tolerate that

This seems to be true in my neck of the woods and I live in California. Mostly we just politely ignore each other on a social basis with some exceptions and help fellow nationals out a bit more.

That said in order for middle American to get power, they have to want it first. They really don’t and other than the anti abortion movement just want to be left alone and to not take responsibility for anything

Hell people barely want marriage or kids , the later they haven’t wanted much in near fifty years

An actual correction whether by lead or by some other means requires a will to power that people lack. This almost certainly includes our President who just wants an America for his kids where his style of business can work and maybe a feather in his cap

That isn’t the kind of ruthless mindset required to make a nation bow to a will.

The Left might have that but they also won’t get to keep it for a lot of reasons.

Long term though Europe is a million times better off than we are, they have willpower and you can always get weapons, you can’t get will

France does. Our media being heavily censored won’t cover it but the French Les Deplorables in the form of the Gillete Jaunes is pushing that nation hard in the correct direction

That movement and large numbers of other identitarian movements are spreading in every nation in Europe

Europe might end up Socialist and Nationalist but that is their choice and it probably works better for them than Neo Conservative /Economic Liberalism does for us

Now the US will not survive as a nation. This is not an issue of immigration though that is a huge part of it its actually our character

The US has no reason to exist other than political inertia and wealth extraction

The only reasons it hasn’t fallen apart yet are money is still flowing and our rather pathetic rebel class

The US Right has plenty of weapons and the skill to make a hell of an insurgency but they lack the ability to actual lead or be lead.

Considering the ongoing death of retail, I’m not sure that boycotts matter much.

The economy is imploding all on its own with retail stores closing left right and back and while Amazon is certainly getting a chunk of that, a lot of that simply stuff not being bought

Some is tech, the Internet has rendered a lot of media like C.D. and D.V.D.’s obsolete taking out many of the associated jobs.

Some is cultural, with low marriage rates and incredibly low fertility, all the business associated with that get hit hard. I’ve seen very nice synthetic sapphire jewelry on sale for $30 bucks. The hell of that is not affordable for many

There are other things, drugs being a big one, inflation is larger than most see but the bulk of the rest is simple poverty, wages have been pushed low but housing hasn’t been allowed to fall

It should not take 100 hours of work to afford a one bedroom apartment at minimum wage . The normal custom was full time minimum wage for a week gets you an efficiency . That’s around $280-$480 in theory, problem is the efficiency is $700 in cheap California . More in cities where the jobs are.

This plus school debt means no babies. Even the Latino TFR is low at 1.8

The thing about this is that the usual money printing shenanigans the people in charge won’t work to paper over anything and sooner than later , the house of cards will bite it.

This is why the Reds are back out in force. Its classic Marxism , capital cuts wages at all costs destroys the market, Communism steps in .

And anyone hoping for a military counter to that is SOL, the Military will follow orders. Maybe not as far as Venezuela but they will follow them

Behave socially or be socialized

The New Deal and the subsequent baby boom were bubbles. They lasted a while do to US economic primacy but by 1973 US fertility dropped below replacement where it has been since.

And you can’t blame ‘social change’ for all of it, most of the US did not have easy divorce , easy to get birth control pills, or easy to get abortion in that year. It was also almost entirely White and the numbers have stayed loosely the same.

Long and short the urban transition had the same effect that cities always do, making it too expensive and less socially desirable to have a family

Long term though if we can reduce and reverse immigration, this won’t matter.

The population will decline enough that the TFR can rise to stable or it will shrink and the population will get less urban and therefore become stable

A lock and a sock still gets the job done and on the whole half trained Leftists killed an lot more people than any Rightists ever did.

In any case US students being tolerant of the idea of violence makes perfect sense. Our society is awash in violent imagery

On top of that the US has been spending decades arming up for one and for two, university students are young, unattached often these days to a pathological degree and three they are filled with purpose, the one thing the Universities do well

Also the less educated are almost always rooted in society these days, working , trying to build a family or just get by . Idealism isn’t going to be a thing for them

Many are also Conservative I suspect and outside Dissident/Alt circles the idea of ideology is borderline Orwellian Crime Think

That weakness is why the Right has no power, they don’t have any idea of what they want and are terrified of discussing it much less doing anything about it

The Left suffers from no such problems and while what they want is often unattainable or foolish they are often willing to take it by force which speaks well of them.

Generally correct though fervent religious types have the highest reproduction rates regardless of sects. The US may well end up mainly Amish with minority Evangelical, LDS and especially FLDS and various Orthodox with a smattering of Muslims and others.

In the bigger world many Islamic nations are starting to slide below replacement and the fastest growing strand of Islam Ahmadi are barely considered Muslim by other sects.

Globally all TFR falls once societies become urbanized and reach a certain minimum standard of living. This even includes Africa though the demographic transition is slower there

Humans as a species have overshot carrying capacity just a little and will end up with a stable population and eventually reduced numbers of a long time frame

How long and who makes it is up in the air though my guess is that the groups that eschew modernity will thrive, those that embrace it will die off,

The Communist were basically correct in that the rich , capital as they call it quickly become adversaries of the working class. They always will at any opportunity as its a part of human nature when you are rich to strive for more status and wealth

It was predicted by Marx pushing two centuries ago and we are living it.

This doesn’t mean that Communism either in its “central planning” aspect or its theoretical late stage anarchic form will work.

What’s needed probably is the elimination of scale to some degree, no corporations or large unmanageable enterprises .allowed . Individuals or a small groups are always liable

Optionally we can try distributionism and rig the incentives to domestic wages and jobs.

This would require a much less onerous state as its mainly a tax policy issue but either require a populous regime , probably a non Democratic one.

What isn’t working now though it ameliorates the effects of global capitalism a little is Social Democracy . Its however growing far too expensive for its effects and after 1972 or so, over the last forty years below replacement fertility has followed in its wake.

Upside of the later I guess as eventually every single nation achieves this is that it corrects. As the population shrinks and very well may grow dumber , the technology that creates the problem may well go away

Deindustrializing might end up for more good than bad in the long, a couple of centuries term.

This is quite correct though your contempt for Americas working and poor Whites who just learning to protect themselves from everyone else who is quite racist and always will be is noted . Trump is a civic nationalist like most baby boomers.

This means in his mind immigration needs to be legal of of decent quality.

This is a foolish view IMO the only immigration that makes any sense for Americans is negative but the lust for lower wages has basically created a situation where that is not politically doable.

This is the prime cause of more than 2 generations of low fertility with no end in sight along with the attendant dysfunction caused by mass immigration

Still as the world population all reaches at or below replacement, even immigration will not be an option. This will not result in lower wages, the Country Club/Chamber of Commerce types would rather see the US burn than budge slightly understandable if wicked as wages would have to nearly double or housing decline a huge amount for things to pencil out

The end result of civic nationalism could be a civil war but certainly will be that the US is a no longer industrialized and prosperous . we already see this with L.A. getting ready to take carpet out of city hall to prevent a typhus outbreak from the rats they can no longer control along with rotting infrastructure.

Nothing President Trump can do will be able to fix any of this though at least he can buy time and with the fertility decline, less people in the future means less poverty anyway

Heck stats and you I know its not that linear say in a couple of hundred years, and we’ve had below replacement fertility for almost a quarter of that now , the majority group will be Amish with a few other religious types out there (LDS especially FLDS, Orthodox, Traditionalists, a few Muslims and Evangelicals) It looks like that White Trashdinalists and you so put it will win the long game

It won’t be Heinlein’s Libertarian Pioneers that colonize space.

Living on the Moon or Mars would be roughly like living in a maximum security prison or police state. One mistake could kill everyone so you get no freedom at all. On top of that you need highly intelligent and capable people who want to be in a prison and raise kids in one for reasons

You can assume percentage of women will be very low since normally women hate being colonists and the colony won’t be wealthy or a nice place to live.

Given the troubles terrestrial colonies had getting people, I mean Louisiana rounded up women from mental hospitals and prisons to send to the colony , you can assume great difficulty finding smart, compliant , trustworthy ,adventurous and healthy people for a space colony

This will be even harder if the population keeps declining. 1.6 TFR across all developed nations with no end in site is a radically different structure than 60’s USA with a TFR of 3

Getting fertility up will require huge economic changes , steady as in life time well remunerated work and a lower status for women . Given automation much less culture, its not going to happen

The paradox is any society that can make a space colony has little demand for labor do to automation and a correspondingly low birth rate or is heavily socialized in which case most resources are spent on welfare. Its too broke to do this kind of thing which costs trillions. It can also go broke from demand starvation and assuming a revolt doesn’t end up Pol Pot 2.0 it will be a poor backwater

Its not a coincidence the US was wealthy and had high fertility and demand for labor when we went to the moon and its not a coincidence that as soon as the computer took off, the 80’s and wages went down (half the percentage GDP as in 1973 as of 2017 or so ) the space program went with it

Demography made this infinitely worse but even of the US somehow had the demography of 1960, its moot. No money, no babies, no babies, no colonies

China maybe could do it if they harvest enough resources in Africa and hoard them but again they have a fertility and trust issues.

Not a single even partially developed nation has above replacement fertility among its high IQ population and Elon Musk aside recent immigrants and future immigrants lack the requisite traits

Its unlikely any nation will be in a fast recovery phase ever. Stats obviously don’t work this way but at current fertility rates in 200 years most US people will be descendants from and quite possibly practicing Amish!

No they cannot be colonized as they lack air, water, arable land and we lack a surplus population in any case.

There are no existing societies anywhere that can maintain the level of stability required for such a project nor can they allocate resources over along enough term.

In any case once the African and Middle Eastern fertility issues resolve, the population of the Earth with actually decline. The entire developed world has a TFR of around 1.6-1.8, heck Brazil is there the less developed is approaching 2 and the least developed are very slowly coming along.

Some Islamic societies like Morocco and Turkey are already there.

Long term this decline will probably avert the worst of the Malthusian scenarios and lead to a gradual population decline not a catastrophe.

Thus far no society anywhere entering this cycle has ever gotten out of it but its only been an issue for a couple of generations so who knows . My guess is that once the social carrying capacity is reached, we have jobs enough for all and cheap enough land, it will stabilize at a smaller number, maybe 200 million or less for the US

This still mostly urban population will not produce any space pioneers nor surplus wealth for such things.

I’ll note also that of the most fertile groups, the highest fertility is among the Amish with various Orthodox , Evangelical and LDS groups as well

Its quite possible the longer term, in theory a coupe of centuries will be prefaced with technological decline as highest natal group prefers 1719 over 2219

In that case space is a no go.

In about a decade and a half the US will no longer longer have tritium for nuclear triggers

https://www.defensenews.com/opinion/commentary/2017/03/06/commentary-the-looming-crisis-for-us-tritium-production/

the main point from the article

By the early 2030s, the viability of the entire U.S. nuclear deterrent is at risk from an inability to produce tritium for nuclear warheads

Note this is roughly the time between now and when Bush JR. was President

We don’t test them, we don’t know if they’ll work and counting on China, Russia, Pakistan, the Norks or anyone else not to just get a little payback and glass us is counting on too much

If we aren’t going to be able to destroy our enemies on account of our IQ dropping and tech failing, maybe we should make nice.

US tech is lagging in every area on account of joke of an education system, mass immigration and a population collapse among the smarter people do to our economics

This is all public knowledge and if anyone thinks our foes and rivals aren’t making plans, thinks again

That rosy scenario assumes the Left doesn’t get enough power to blunder us into a civil war of course

It was a 90% White homogeneous industrial society at that time. It was highly religious and even our leftists were far more rough and tumble than we see now

We are much less industrialized and trust me pajama boy isn’t going to be fighting Russia

If you want to send all the country boys off to fight Russia, good luck with that . YOu’ve just turned the US over the SJW’s

All this speculation is also predicated on no one being able to target CONUS. I’m not so sure of that these days. A few well placed attacks could turn our cities feral , shut down our production and repair capacity and leave us in a world of hurt

Its also massively easier since our peer competitors now have precision guided weapons as well

They certainly are not. Iran’s total fertility rate is slightly above that of Germany at 1.68 .

The US Birth rate is around 1.7 about where it was at the time of the Great Depression

This should tell you something about our economy.

Also our numbers are propped up with Mestizo immigration, this immigrant wave abound 50 MILLION of all races 80-90% non European has reduced social capital and the national IQ by 5 points or more

Its not going to go up especially as the next group of immigrants if it happens have high levels of cousin marriage and a religious system that is incompatible with the US entirely. We could handle fairly secular Persians fine or others like them but these people if Clinton wins and brings them in will destabilize the country very very fast as they are the dregs of the world.

Opinion piece here but the US empire is committing auto-genocide against its own founding stock racial and religious for political and short term economic gains and therefore doomed itself

There will be no recovery since we are in the Looted by Oligarchs phase and have yet to find any leaders , Trump not being one.

To win Russia need only wait till it weakens enough to either fall apart as the USSR did or has a civil war and the next nations, probably with smashed industry , endemic poverty (remember the US has not invested much into infrastructure and has many biologically lower IQ people ) and mass deaths will be as easy to manage politically as any other 3rd world country

The few new nations that make it, probably homogenized and highly Conservative won’t be Imperial at least outside CONUS or Neo Conservative in any way shape or form.

How soon this will occur I do not know, no one does . My guess is that it will probably be up to the president that follows Putin as its a decade maybe two or even three out

That and it doesn’t take long to watch.

People want to say they watched the Olympics but don’t want to actually sit through most of the events.

Not all Socialism is international. There is also a nationalist flavor not associated with the NDSAP. Sanders isn’t one of them though, he is far more a social democrat and could run as a moderate or mainstream conservative in Europe.

As far Trump goes, four issues with him are the winners. No gun control, build a wall. deport illegals , screw the GOPe

The later is the only one that merits any discussion, simply the GOPe has had tons of support from its base and basically has shafted us time and time again. It understandable given that country clubbers , religious conservatives and populists don’t belong in the same party but you know TWO PARTY SYSTEM as Kang and Kodos might say

A bug chunk, maybe half the base is tired of being screwed by RINOS and as much as a 3rd of the base simply would rather burn the system than deal with it.

Trump for all his flaws is the proof of concept and all outcomes involving him are the win

#1 Cruz wins and does most of his agenda anyway — a win

#2 Trump Wins gets elected as above- a win

#3 The election is stolen for Cruz No need to worry about democracy any more.

#4 Hillary wins. Same

#5 Trump wins and shafts us. Same

Every single condition is a victory condition.

About the only “lose” condition would be for Bernie to win, implement what he promises . if he gets the revenue it would delay the end of the Republic, show social democracy to work and jam things up.

Even that though is just another decade at most

As far as great again, in its current form? Of course not.

But some new polity, homogeneous and moral after a evolution or collapse might. New Rome is no more but New Byzantium lives on if you will.

The US is no more immune to history than the USSR and no is no more a legitimate long term foundation for a nation than the USSR was. A nation is a family related by blood and history and the US isn’t one. Its a proposition nation made mostly of nonsense and held together by laziness, fear and sometimes force.
