I read this article and it's pretty saddening.

>If you're gen Z you have around 7-10 cousins, if you were born in 1950 you would have 20 cousins.
>If you were born now, you'd have around 6 or less cousins, and barely any uncles or aunts.

I may be a failure now, but growing up it was really nice connecting with my family.
My mom's side of the family had 20+ cousins, a HUGE family and the gatherings were always amazing, meeting so many people and hearing about their lives, and all these people are connected to (YOU).

Gen Alpha and later won't have this, there will be no
>"hey let's go on vacation to your Uncle's house and spend time with your cousins!"
now they'll get
>"uhhh, let's go spend time with your aunt's 20 cats and empty, decrepit womb".

Not only are social circles dying, but family ones too, and no politician seems to really care.

Signal boosting from hews, but yeah, it's literally just women. In fact I would say women are the real jews. That's how closely linked jewry is to women.

I had functionally no cousins. My dad was an only child and my mother had one brother who had no kids and one who had one kid and neither were part of my life. My sisters have like, tangential cousins by marriage but I never knew any of them.

So I never grew up with any cousins.

Women aren't smart enough to understand the extent of their manipulation. They're essentially just children. Jews fully understand what they're doing. Women just get conned into ruining society because they're too retarded to understand how shit works. They were never meant to have ANY say in how a society is ran, because men thousands of years ago realized that they're too shortsighted to care about anything other than their immediate future if left to their own devices.

Smaller just means there's less. It doesn't guarantee that you'll be closer to one another. In fact I'd argue that 50 years ago people were closer to their 20 cousins than people are today to their 5 or 6.

I haven't seen any member of my family in 13 years. I have 3 brothers who married the first woman that touched them and most of their kids have never met me. Someone in the family had to bear the burden of traveling the world having unprotected sex with as many women as humanly possible, then getting on a plane and never returning. It's a genetic imperative to at least try to spread the families quality across the globe. They all hate me for that, but it's the way God made me. If I have kids I raise in my older years, they won't see their cousins. So what? Unbeknownst to them they've got 100 half siblings and cousins on other continents because the lord blessed me with a big ol cock and money to carry it across the globe. If you want families to be closer, pray for men to be less horny and with smaller dicks so something like my life won't happen anymore.

Because we've lost sight of anything sacred now. The one true good is your own personal happiness. Don't like your marriage? Divorce. Don't like your community? Move. Don't like your family? Cut them off. You are an individual tied to absolutely nothing you don't want to be tied to. Your individual happiness is paramount. Nothing else matters in your life other than your own personal happiness. Whatever you have to do to achieve that is a morally objective good. This is how these people think and this is why no one gives a shit about anyone anymore. Everything is temporary, and it's as temporary as it no longer suits your own personal happiness.
There used to be some semblance of nobility in sacrificing yourself for something greater than you. But now, there is nothing greater than you. It's why the notion of sacrificing yourself for this society is laughable. Work hard? Fight to protect? Contribute? Why? For people that don't give a fuck about me and I don't give a fuck about? There is no identity anymore. There is only the individual.

No, we'll just be replaced by people that still hold a semblance of family values. They forget that they need people to breed or we just go extinct. So a never ending stream of immigrants will replace us. Even if their future generations succumb to our western egoistic hedonism, they'll just be replaced too. It's a bunch of countries with no "people" and no identity, only pursuing their individual happiness at whatever cost is necessary.

One of the untold consequence of growing up a lone child without siblings is the inability to socially connect with the other gender, very frequent among Millenials and Zoomers who grew up alone. It was common to have a bunch of sisters and brothers for anyone in the past, because of birthrate.

Guys with sisters are always succesful with women. People being femcel or incel comes from a whole generation who grew up without a sibling of the opposite gender and became awkward.

I don't think there's anything to back this up beyond anecdotes or misinterpreted statistics. Sisters don't teach you how to interact with women in a romantic way, because women in general are horrible instructors for men. This is why single mothers raise boys into men they themselves would never want.

I learned how to interact with girls from interacting with girls. My sister didn't teach me anything, because she could never be attracted to me, she never appreciated being teased the same way other girls do.

But she did bring her friends around to my house and that was incredibly helpful. Especially because they as a rule have a crush on their friend's older brother, and did the standard young woman thing of sneaking off to the bedroom of the guy they like.

I liked family reunions because they were large BBQs in the park during the summer. As a fellow 80s kid, that was a time when parks in white towns were still nice places to be and there was plenty of things for kids to do and lots of kids around to play with. Playground equipment still had to possibility of injury so they still had the possibility of fun.

One of my cousins tried to fuck me and then got pissy and told everyone after I rejected her advances (because I was like 8 or 9 at the time, really didnt get what she was doing. That played in my favor as SHE go in trouble for it thankfully). Almost everyone I was close with throughout my childhood had at least one cousin that tried to fuck them or outright DID fuck them. For a FEW of them, they treated it like they got molested, for the many MANY more they were just happy they got laid. This was BEFORE the internet, BEFORE social media/smart phones/online porn. I live in michigan, so dont pull the whole "well it was a rednecks" card either. Where do you all think all the incest porn comes from? Its not just "jews did it".

Same. I have two younger sisters, one is two years younger, the other is three years younger. Their friends provided me lots of opportunities to learn the ins and outs of women.

I still remember the time after I finally bagged my middle sister's best friend. I was coming out of the bathroom after disposing of the condom and taking a piss, and when I went through the living room on the way to the kitchen to get some water, I asked my dad why the TV was so loud. He just looked at me and said "That girl wasn't as quiet as she thought she was. Turned it up so your mom wouldn't hear and freak out. Great job, by the way."

I had the biggest shit eating grin on my face afterwards and had to explain why when I got back to my room. She got so embarrassed and was as red as a tomato. Didn't stop her from grinding herself against me while I was laying behind her and grabbing my hand to cover her mouth once we started fucking again, though.

Rural Michigan is comfy but we do have our share of Juggalo types. Still, I get your point about the redneck stereotype.
While I never had a cousin try to fuck me, plenty of teenage girls did try to take advantage of me when I was a pre-teen. Usually mostly harmless shit like taking my hat and putting it down their shirt, telling me to I had to get it back myself so I'd end up feeling their tits. Since I hadn't hit puberty, I just found it annoying but looking back at it, it's crazy how shameless some of them were about it.

Self imposed Darwinism isn’t the issue, the problem is every system in the western world is predicated and dependent on perpetual and continual growth. If we allowed people to suffer the consequences of their decisions it would be one thing and realistically a non issue. The problem is when those growth systems stop there is a dire requirement to prop them up, particularly in a society with extensive social systems. In the short term this means importing the 3rd world. Another long term problem in addition to the problems introduced by the first is further taxing the productive to pay for social services and the care of the elderly childless. The western world is in a death spiral which will not be solved in the short term due to obvious pain it would cause. Instead we are openly attempting a fix that will undoubtedly cause serious and irreparable harm to our society long term and lead to India tier malfunctions that are impossible to fix. Our society will be striated with many social classes from different cultures in which all of them clumsy interact. Progress will slow, technology will stagnate, and there will be a period cultural dilution and flatlining. There are two decisions the west can made, one that’s already underway that is the death of western democracy and enlightenment ideals ushered in by postmodern liberalism. Or the preferable short term pain and ‘hiccup’ in growth, that requires the stripping of social services, reset of social expectations, excessive consumption and return to more traditional values. At this moment I don’t see any western cultural system beyond the Mormons surviving the next 100 years.

I loved family gatherings. It's nice just to have a large get together for the only reason to be to see each other and hang out. Our family used to go camping for a week in the summer for decades, there would be around 30 family members there and we would just lounge around the campground and go swimming and hiking, this is one of the only things I miss from childhood was family gatherings.

im 30 and my whole family was dysfunctional, everyone hated one another, we fought over extremely little inheritances (30k € max) and my grandparents powertripped and enjoyed pressuring each other

im at a point where i geniuenly think there is some sort of mental illness running in my family, just completely dysfunctional mess

im also 30 and a khv and my brother is almost 40 and has no gf / isnt married, so this whole trash genetic line will finally come to an end
