Single white moms don't exist. They're like black people who tip at restaurants

I'm a product of a single white mom along with my sister. Her struggle, 2 kids (no child support due to a crack addict father), full time job, and nursing school, taught me to work. She sacrificed damn near everything for us. It's not a lack of fathers, but a lack of basic discipline and an instilled, innate respect for other things that's the issue. The hyper individualistic culture we have now is what's undoing the fabric of unity. Just look at the lack of sensical, basic ethics in argumentation now and days because people are too caught in being "right".

Oh brother... Just look at the statistics, it tells you pretty plainly. It's not some abstract claim of 'individuality' whatever that hell that means, it's stuff like single motherhood that's ruining society. Now stop being delusional and take your first step in uncovering what modern day policies are pushing single motherhood rates much higher.

Individualism is the ideal that the needs of your ego must be sated at the expense of the group or family unit. It's a devaluation of collective health and hypervaluation of the illusion of pride. This ideal also leads to more single motherhood because both mothers and fathers are valuing the family unit less and their own carnal lust or need to be dominate in the relationship more.

hope that helps clear it up for you

Flimsy, abstract and weak.

Have any statistics to back up any theory about rising individualism and it's negative effect on society? I wouldn't believe the phenomena exists and even if it did I would question a negative effect.

Thread got too serious

Did y'all know Turks, Kurds, Arabs, and Shia militiamen from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Iraq are all fighting each other in northeastern Syria at the behest of Iran? LOL

my people are dunking on everyone and going to conquer once the smoke clears. I'm very proud

Funny that the archaic definition isn't applicable to today's usage due to the mutability of language. Would you like to know more?

sorry you struggle with abstract concepts.

This indicates you have poor development in your frontal lobes!

To be fair, the whole reason I advocate for Christianity is to counter this. You need hyper motivated individualists like Elon Musk or my grandson, the future first emperor of the United States. Nonetheless, you need competitiveness to be tempered by communitarian values for the vast majority of the population. Even if jesus is only a metaphor, this sad ass obese diabetic lazy fake news believing indoctrinated pablum consuming rapidly declining nation needs him like I need GAINS

I definitely agree that the disintegration of family strength creates mental health issues which lead to catastrophic personal problems.

I read an interesting book about spirituality as a means of community connection - no matter what religion or whatever, basically if people felt connected with their community and participated in life-enforcing events (dancing, singing, weddings, group rituals), there was an improvement in the population's mental health and lowering of addiction.

However, I disagree that the problem is multi-culturalism. America has always been multi-cultural and I consider it one of our greatest strengths. I think the de-valuation of immediate family is more a symptom of American culture over-valuing individualism as opposed to valuing the family unit over one's self. I certainly was raised with ideals that led to choosing isolated individualism in prideful pursuits, and I would also argue that these same ideals led me to cocaine abuse as a form of narcissism in my early 20s.

The best things in life are basic. Good food and being around people you love. Meeting other people. Learning to be happy for others.

Vladimir Putin ( my favorite world leader) does a good job of really encouraging nuclear family values. I wish he was our tyrant.

I definitly think:

Information age > multiculturalism

when it comes to increase in violent crime.

We havent evolved for 500,000 years to be able to handle the hysteria from 100% of the worlds population.

We just arnt built for it, and probubly wont ever get past the growing pains it cause.
