"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

[MerelyAPlateOfSpaghetti]

Your 1st paragraph lays out a strict binary of selfish vs. loving, allowing for none of the nuance offered in the post you quoted.

Yes, because I'm not just talking about having children. Being selfish vs loving is something that affects all people in every situation. Did McDonalds give you the wrong food? You can choose to act selfish, throw a fit, scream and yell, and ruin everyone's day, or get your issue sorted in a more loving way. Same thing with that old dating tip of "watch how they treat the restaurant staff" - if you see someone putting a waitress under their thumb for some selfish reason, you assume that your date will eventually do that same thing to you.

The nuance provided is "not having kids is not just a selfishness thing" which I didn't disagree with. Being with a selfish partner is hell.

All I know is if you have fewer kids than the gunt (or heaven forbid Rick) then you are, well, gunted.

It’s worth fighting for!

Children are part of the conversation, but if one half of the couple is very selfish while the other half is more loving, the selfish person ..

I don’t want to double post but I believe that the reason why couples are having less children comes down to several factors, as I have posted earlier (you can scroll up):

People don’t want to bring children into a world where accommodation is unaffordable, ..

I agree with what you say, but I also think it’s one of the first things couples should clarify when they start out, to see if they both want the same when it comes to having children or how many. So being selfish shouldn’t be a primary blocker if both parties are honest and compatible.
Of course the consensus can change as time goes by.

One child is less than replacement rate and you mentioning comfortably financing one child further confirms that people have less children due to finances too.

Congratulations on your family and I completely understand why you had one child and not more.

I’d love to hear from more young people in their early thirties to say why they don’t have children (yet). Because I’m willing to bet it’s not because they are selfish, and many would love to have children if the circumstances were better.

How many keeds do I have to have until the retarded father of one of my babymamas make it his lifes goal to alog me to the point where he loses his coin shop and destroys his entire family?

Circumstances have basically never been better from many statistical points of view. But boomers and doomers and gloomers are always bitching about how life is hell and everything is shit and that gets to people.

The correct answer is to say “fuck them all” and attempt to go full quiverful and turn that vagina into a clowncar.

Always beware that your babymomma/gf/wife picked you because you’re basically like her dad, so if you’re a petty piece of shit - watch out!

@Null when we have the next Rekieta melty focused MATI can you play this as the intro or as an intro to the segment.

Ironically sometimes the people arguing in favor of a racial consciousness forget that in order for Whites to act like White people, they need to do things [rational family planning and long-term outcome hypotheticals]; it's also why higher IQ people have fewer kids in general.

It has been shown that it’s not a race issue.

When people of foreign origin settle in a new country, after the second and third generation in their new country, their birth rates eventually drop to almost match that of the host country. There have been a few studies showing this.

The people in third world countries are reproducing at a higher rate due to different reasons. Some don’t have access to contraceptives. They also don’t have the same expectations regarding quality of life. When they don’t know anything better than absolute poverty, they don’t comprehend poverty as prohibitive factor to having children. They don’t have the same ambitions and mentality as people in developed countries. They also have more children because they anticipate that not all children will survive (which is sadly also a fact).

I think these are very reasonable points. I'm sorry if I come across as unreasonable or belligerent in my posting, I genuinely feel as if the relations between men and women is probably the most important issue in pretty much all first world countries and I get very focused on it especially since I don't think any politician is gonna try and do anything but weaponize it to get elected.

I respectfully disagree. When the boomers were young, a family man was able to buy a house and support a family without the wife having to work full time. And he was able to do that even without having to spend 5 years in higher education.
Most women of boomer age didn’t have to work full time while raising children.
Which statistical point of view supports your claim please?

I just think we are all extremely lucky Kamala Harris was born a woman. A half Indian half black man? He would have been the greatest and most skilled rapist to ever live. I'm talking Genghis Khan numbers.

Children are part of the conversation, but if one half of the couple is very selfish while the other half is more loving, the selfish person will likely end up alone while the loving person will hopefully find a better suited partner. I am sure there are also a lot of couples who are split, one wants children while the other selfishly doesn't, and it robs people of healthy children - as you said, the biological clock affects both men and women, with autism rates and birth defects being more and more likely the older the parents.

It bothers me because it is manipulative language: if you do what I want, you are loving; if you do what I don't want, you are selfish.

I agree with many of your points. It is definitely one of the most important things and a vital piece for survival of mankind and a civilised society, where people remain capable of upholding fundamental values.
Family values are the foundation of a civilised, compassionate society.
I too believe that various political agendas are making things worse rather than better.
The over-promotion of gender ideology is a prime example, like pumping confused young people with hormones to block puberty isn’t only acceptable, but now promoted, and many of those young people are then likely suffer infertility and mood disorders, which makes healthy relationships and reproduction unlikely.

There’s also not enough emphasis on supporting family values, and moral principles like loyalty and respect are eroding. Infidelity is all time high, and too many people have a crooked moral compass. It all has a knock on effect on healthy relationships and birth rates.

Mooslims proving that they are indeed a religion of pedos. It's funnier when it's a poo mudslime since the accent just accentuates the comedic factor.

Suddenly getting a lot of these pedo hunters videos up on my feed. Almost all of the predators are jets

It's at least partially a race issue, as regions of the globe have average IQs which are easily delineated, and intelligence is heritable. Your migration example is no evidence to the contrary; for all I know, the migrants are migrants because they are smart enough to know when to bail on their home country.

Oh actual opinion on the stream instead of politics, fuck the people saying you laugh too much, you don't do it on purpose or to make something sound funny if it's from the heart you feel that joy my neezy. Some of my favorite moments of metokur was when he was just happy and entertained, like when he found that cheesy 80's TV show or when he learned what a moon crickets was. He did like an hour long but on moon crickets and it's hilarious.

From a statistical point of view, please pull up the FBI crime statistics by race.

Hmm. Very interesting concept indeed.

It bothers me because it is manipulative language: if you do what I want, you are loving; if you do what I don't want, you are selfish.

It's not about what I want, rather what's in the best interest of my spouse and family. If my focus is on their needs before my own, I am acting in a way that is not selfish. If my focus is on my needs/wants/desires before theirs instead, I'm being selfish.

In the loving vs selfish couple example, I'm sure you know people who have been affected by this. How many families are broken up because dad got drunk and cheated, or mom got bored and became a pincushion for any available pin? Those are both very selfish acts and children usually suffer as a result.
