I've always felt that after both parents had to start working the parents left too much of child rearing to the schools (and perhaps used the TV as a "babysitter") and look how that worked out..............
Many children of divorced parents who continued to fight were raised in front of garbage TV.
No, not Beavis and Butthead. I'm talking subtle things, like the family dynamics in Miss Doubtfire being normalized, females like the one in Liar Liar.
This subconsciously tells you that "Moms are bitches." Then your mom comes home pissed off from working as a single mom, and what stereotype does she unconsciously fall into?
This is how the Mockingbird media programs - When you aren't looking.
The sexuality in all those shows blows my mind. I was young watching Friends and Seinfeld and watching reruns today I can't believe how much went over my head!
But seinfeld was sooo hilarious, as is curb your enthusiasm with Seinfeld’s creator and main character, Larry David. Yes, he’s a horrible leftist human being but his humor and writing skills are top notch. My wife and friends say I’m just like him in many ways and maybe that’s why I like his show so much, since I can totally relate to the way he sees social situations and doesn’t just let things slide.
Total East Coast/NYsarcasm. It’s an art form. If you aren’t like, you don’t get your balls busted.
But if you have ever watched 5 or 6 Curb Your Enthusiasms in a row…it’s really easy to see why Larry David is divorced. He’s a real asshole. But constantly…all day long. Every day.
But I do like seeing the humor in everyday life. Maybe “absurdity” is more apropos. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I also love Fletch and Young Frankenstein and The Jerk.
You mean, after the globalist scum engineered society so that it became a mandatory 2-income household?
This is a really important point. Did you hear Bannon’s CPAC speech? He draws the line from 1971 getting off the gold standard to getting credit cards, then two parents both working, then car payments, then leasing card because you can’t afford a car payment..,all due to the Fed printing and printing money to keep their grift going.
Yes! It was a brilliant speech and said MANY things that NO one says in public!
Love Mr Noir's tweet!
This makes it seem like all those things happened because of the grift needing to continue. My thesis is that these things were planned to happen to cause an intentional breakdown in the family unit.
I was totally flabbergasted at how the line was drawn between 1971/Nixon/gold standard…and where we are now.
We may have gotten there ourselves via research and deep reading, thinking, etc…but to be so clear as to make those connections in a few minutes…because I’m not sure how ultraMAGA or Dark MAGA CPAC is.
I’m curious as to how people felt about that speech…was it a shock? Were there a fair amount of “end the fed” fans there? It seemed to get some vocal support. I remember both Ron Paul and LaRouche (Nationlize the Fed)…
Whatever the s whole thing is really moving into overdrive. Buckle the F&$% up.
Oh yeah! Totally agreed. But we are in a far different place, mindset, etc. than 30 years ago. And 100 years ago we were really innocents. Or not born yet at all.

Yes but I believe we are seeing the backlash now. Many moms going to work at home and realizing they were sold a lie. Also many utilizing things like etsy to make a little money with their cool parenting ideas and products
I feel like Covid had some silver linings. In fact…many really critical silver linings.
Moms or parents at home could see and hear what their kids were being taught, what was being said in the classroom, how bad the education level is—CRT and transsexuality/why are your pronouns? Many people were like…WTF is this crap? This led to a backlash, the fruits of which we are beginning to reap now.
since a parent had to be home because the kids needed supervision (and couldn’t be parked at school all day) moms were home w their kid and maybe quit, or were laid off, or could work from home. They were able to be around their child/children. The house was a little cleaner. They may have had time (no commuting) to cook better food, maybe make and enjoy a meal together..
this change of pace may have had a larger impact on moms. I’m convinced that this 3rd wave feminism and women in the workplace stuff was for MOST WOMEN a total load of BS. Most people (men and women) are not going to be superstars in their very important field (they just aren’t). It’s not like every person is a groundbreaking surgical master…or has such a critical contribution to human advancement…that they simply must not be allowed to stay at home…working to create a healthy and stable home life. That is the exception, not the rule.
Women have been told that motherhood and keeping the home fires burning = slavery and patriarchy! The real slavery is working as a cog in a cubicle in a nameless, faceless building, clearing maybe $100 or $200 a week more than your babysitter/childcare costs. That is a waste of time. Worse yet are the ones who didn’t have a family because “I don’t need a man!”…yet the cats and the wine never fulfill that missing thing…
I know this applies to white collar workers, in dual income families, who are both married and have kids at home. So that is about, what 15-22% of 29-54 year olds. So this certainly doesn’t apply to blue collar workers or people who need to be somewhere specific to do their job (critical workers, anyone?)
But i do think there were some changes in assumptions during covid…it may be subconscious…but there were some shifts, I hope.
Sorry—this wasn’t just meant for you…probably should have been it’s own post! Lol.
...and don't forget daycare centers.
