This was a great piece. I was unaware of it until now. The ‘classics corner’ is a terrific idea to keep these timeless essays preserved for and accessible to newcomers.
I have several friends who would benefit from this advice, but would also squirm at the mere suggestion of race. I wonder if scrubbing some of the overt racial messaging would give it broader appeal to dissident right-adjacent normiecons. There could be two versions: one for the racially aware and one for white civ-nats. That way they wouldn’t tune out the greater message simply because of the racial overtones.
Presenting the scrubbed version would need to be weighed against the chance the reader wifes/hos up a Democrat and spawns deadbeat SNAPlets or, worse, peoples the enemy’s ranks.
“SNAPlets,” ha, I like that. True, don’t want to risk motivating the wrong people. I feel the men who would be most receptive to this message are already close to seeing things our way, they’re politically conservative. They just need a nudge. Having kids could be part of that nudging process. Talking about family formation this way with libtards and “independents” just doesn’t resonate. But point taken.
In fact to expand on your point, the task doesn’t end after getting married and having kids; that’s only the first step. We, as fathers, have to be involved in our childrens’ upbringing and education well into early adulthood. If we don’t take a proactive and vigilant role, our kids will be corrupted by the system. It’s up to us to ensure they develop the right values and critical thinking that innoculates them from the liberal machine.
Wise words. I always fell into the “reasons not to have kids” category, and so I don’t (although I also never met the right woman). My only piece of advice: if you are a young racially conscious white, and you do wish to have a family, and you unfortunately reside in a “blue” city, GET OUT. Trust me: even if you have to strike out completely by yourself, do it. Move to a white, red state area, and start your life there. Because if you remain in that ‘blue” hellhole, chances are you will remain single for life. Ideological opposites do not attract, and this fact is becoming ever more obvious and pronounced.
This is an interesting interpretation that I’d never thought of:
This is the meaning of the saying, “The child is the father of the man”: many boys don’t grow up until they have children.
I assumed it meant that a child’s education and experiences, and the values with which he was raised, will determine his adult outlook and character. Or that we can see in a child’s actions something of the adult he will become.
