I will admit, when I realized that each generation must raise the next, and I mean really realized it, not just in passing, I became more right-wing.
@silver-and-ivory why did you
If some subset of society just does whatever they want, as long as it’s not too big, then it doesn’t risk imploding society.
However, for society to continue and be good to live in,
- Each generation must have and raise children
- These children must be raised to be of at least average virtue
Thus, the family is, in fact, one of the primary core units of society, and of great importance. How people live, in the aggregate, matters a lot. The education and raising of children matter a lot. There is a maximum number ratio of wine-drenched spinsters and perpetual bachelors, beyond which, long-term, any nation will crumble.
How people live determines the wealth of society, the general pleasantness of society, and so on.
I feel like this is wrong but I have no idea why I feel like that, so have a reblog.
False equivalence. The right doesn’t raise their children to be more virtuous than the left. They have different vices and virtues.
Sure, in some ways. Some patterns work even when done by people who don’t believe in having others follow them.
Also, there is more than one way to be right-wing.
What’s right and left can vary, too. Polygmy is bad for children. However, while in the middle east, polygamy would be Trad, in the United States, it would be the Idpol Left that would legalize it, in the name of “religious tolerance” and a bunch of other things.
And thus, within the context of America, my opposition to it is “right-wing”.
