I mean even amongst awakened people like us child free is considered taboo and wrong. Natalism also runs deep even amongst liberals, which obviously makes sense, we are genetically coded to want to repoduce...
But humanity has shown what separates us from the apes and other high intelligence mammals is we know how to control and rationalize our genetic impulses (monogamy, law/justice, spirituality, etc)
So the almost across the board opinion of being child free being this way is seriously messed up.
There's a million ways to contribute to society and there's enough people that will have multiple kids that a chunk of patriots focusing on their communities and on their own personal growth as opposed to children will only better society.
One idea I saw someone say is we need more non parents on school boards. Rational, unbiased minds who only want their communities to thrive could go a long way for improving our schools. Instead we have karens who demand wokeness for their snowflake children and Joneses who care more about their own children getting ahead than everyone else..
It really should be a choice though. My wife and I don't hate the idea of one or two daughters but at the same time we're 100% happy even it never happens. We realize if the vaccine deaths go the way they are feared to, then we'll all need to have multiple children but there's nothing wrong with choosing to not have any and I wish the people on here who are supposed to be EYES OPEN understood that.
You'll have people even on our side that will trash the shit out of people that don't want to live what's considered a "normal" lifestyle. Don't want kids? You're a fucking weirdo and should be shunned.
Yeah, I meant that as a generalization. We talk about normies being sheep, following the trend like fish swimming downstream, but fail to look at ourselves critically, when someone on our side expresses an idea or a conviction that the larger group might not agree with. Like not everybody wants a family, and that's perfectly okay. Not everybody wants a relationship, and that's okay.
Sorry, but having well meaning non parents on a school board might be like someone who has never driven making traffic laws. Or a non drinker trying to help the community.. prohibition style.
I'm sure there is always an exception, but uhh, no thanks in general.
If they can truly be logical and not let a personal agenda push them. Even with parents on board, there are issues. Unfortunately, you are correct that larger societal issued people are messing it up already.
I think there would be a lot of exceptions. I don't want kids, but I have over 32 nieces and nephews and some are now married and having kids of their own. You don't have to be a parent to put a child's needs before your own. Just morality, ethics, empathy, and common sense. And it's not like others on the school boards would all be without children, so you'd still be getting differing perspectives and input.

I don't know if you mean that towards me or if you're observing the state of the community. It seems open to interpretation
Edit: context is everything, sorry I was on the road. i see what you mean, yeah, I agree
