Women who have been educated under feminist ideals are not going to voluntarily give them up. This problem is not solvable - expect by AI doing all the work for a few Eloi at the top.

We need stable middle class jobs for MEN and we need to enable husbands to have pride in work and be good providers. This thing of the majority of women expected to forge careers in their childbearing years is not working. Men need a bone-deep, fundamental purpose in life so that women can live out their fundamental purpose.

Trump was 100% right to increase onshoring, levy tariffs on imports, create empowerment zones, encourage our own manufacturing, limit immigration and lower taxes. It’s why the globalist control freaks hate him.

Bring him back.

Think of all the vast farmlands that China has been buying up. We could once again have thriving cotton and linen textile industries and long-lasting cotton “normcore” garments (plain shirts, jackets, denims, shorts, chinos, khakis, uniforms), because the field work and refining of the fibers is now done very efficiently by machines.

If blacks get triggered by cottonfields as they drive by in their Crown Victorias, too bad—many a poor redneck picked cotton and was glad to put food on the table by it. You still see some smallholder cotton fields in the south —“Carolina snow.”

“That’s why so many men are angry.”

Then maybe they should stop abusing and cheating.

No, answer is simple. Re-establish the draft to include women. Only Pregnant, married women will not be called on to serve. Watch as women 18 to 24 instantly get married and get pregnant to escape service. It will spark a needed baby boom.

Yes,

It will be a struggle and it will take time.

But that’s the only “true fix.”

The mass immigration is a short term solution that ultimately destroys the culture of the host/receiving nation and creates all new problems.

It undermines the value system long term. Look at Dearborn Michigan as an example.

Brining in massive amounts of South Americans, Chinese, Indians, Africans... This brings it’s own problems but it does in the short term stuff the demographic hole.

More like 1,000 years. The Spaniards and the Portuguese colonized the New World after the Reconquista.

The Spanish exceeded Roman capabilities in shipbuilding and blue water navigation, but they couldn't build stuff like the Romans did.

The Romans built a canal from the Nile River to the Red Sea (with locks!), connecting a sea route from Rome to Persia and India. The Spanish could never do that. That's one the reasons Spain sought a new route to India.

They were both good at colonization. But ultimately, the Romans were superior builders and they were more civilized.

"Then maybe" nothing.

1. Both sides abuse and cheat. But only men are punished. Women are rewarded for their misbehavior.

2. Most cases of women alleging "abuse" by men are for "emotional abuse." This is not abuse at all. It simply means the woman is unhappy in the marriage. Much like Eve was unhappy in the Garden.

So men who are faithful husbands are punished even when they didn't do anything wrong, merely because the woman is looking for an excuse to exit the marriage.

The draft won't solve anything. Women in the military only get pregnant if they're about to be sent into war.

I was told by men in the military that there was a sudden surge of pregnancies among service women shortly before the Iraq War.

How much did family necessities (food, shelter, energy) cost in 1979 vs. today? Weekly average full-time earnings (hourly & salaried) have only gone from $335./week in 1979 to $365./week now. And that is using the govt. manipulated CPI, it is actually worse than that. Since going off the gold standard government monetary malfeasance has mandated “2-income families” thereby dropping the birth rate. I don’t see a way to recover at this point...hope I am wrong.
