Summary

In this episode, I tackle listener questions about the rise of single motherhood, examining how state-supported wealth redistribution has shifted children from financial burdens to economic assets. This change empowers women to raise children independently, altering traditional family dynamics and mate selection.

We discuss socio-economic factors shaping family structures and critique the divisive nature of the 'woke' movement, emphasizing its impact on societal discourse. I also highlight the importance of personal accountability and stability in fostering healthy relationships. The conversation underscores the evolving challenges within society, encouraging listeners to reflect on these themes.

All right, some more questions from listeners at freedomendotlocals.com.

0:04.7

What do we got here?

0:05.8

Why is single motherhood on the rise?

0:09.1

Question two with the 80-20, rule how are most men fearing, and the long-term consequences.

0:16.6

So a single motherhood is on the rise because through the power of status redistribution

0:23.6

of wealth, children have been turned from liabilities into assets.

0:28.6

So when children are liabilities, and of course I'm not talking psychologically or emotionally,

0:32.6

just financially, materially, time-wise, when children are liabilities, then women need to choose and

0:39.9

rely on and must choose men who are productive and mature and helpful and loyal and, you know,

0:48.1

possessing of all of the virtues of commitment and integrity that have them stick around for the quarter century it takes to

0:55.8

raise kids and so on, right? I mean, could be 30 years if you're going to have a whole bunch of

them. So when children are liabilities, then women have to choose men who provide. When men are forced

1:06.7

to provide through the redistributive power of the state, then single motherhood becomes much more appealing. And this sort of R versus K selection stuff that I talked about in a

1:16.6

presentation which you should really check out called Gene Wars, GENE, Wars at FDR Podcast.com.

1:23.3

When food is plentiful and the climate is easy and so on, then women don't need men around as

1:32.8

much to take care of their kids. They can sort of hover into a sort of semi-coven and raise

1:38.0

the children collectively and so on. And so when you get government money printing, a government debt,

1:46.6

and redistribution of income, then you take a culture that is developed from a scarcity

1:53.7

mindset, which is, you know, along sort of northern winters and so on, and you bring it to a tropical

1:58.7

mindset, which is why the nuclear family gets weakened

2:02.5

when you get free and easy money that you don't have to earn.

2:06.7

So let's see here with the 80-20 rule,
