Our Parents Were Right
Raising a child Right
The role of a parent is to guide and teach their children how to become successful and upstanding adults. The parent role is akin to the role of a trainer; the task is to raise a child in a way so that when they flee the nest, they are able to handle themselves in the real world and do well for themselves.
Some of us had good parents, a lot of us didn’t. I’ll be writing about the decline in parenting standards and single motherhood in another post, but for this one I want to touch on a different matter. Let’s see how it works when the parent does know what they’re doing.
"But Why??"
A lot of the time, a child doesn’t know why they are being told to do what to do. They reluctantly eat their greens or go to bed at 9PM because of their fear of punishment and their submission to authority. Raising a small child is very similar to training an animal, you have to be strict and rigid with your rules and punishments.
There’s no use trying to explain why the rules are like they are to the kid, they don’t yet have the intellectual or emotional capacity to process it. You can explain the nutritional benefits of cod liver oil all you like to little Jimmy, he will still resist the spoonful when it comes near his face.
You can spend hours explaining good diet, exercise and sleeping habits to your kids, they won’t understand, they have yet to see the real benefits and put two and two together. Rather, they only do it because they are made to do it. If the kid had the choice they would spend the whole day doing fun things that feel good, rather than things that will develop their body and mind and grow them into a healthy adult.
So good parents realise you just have to make the kid do it. You have to force them to eat well, or brush their teeth or go to bed early even if they throw a tantrum. Jimmy doesn’t understand the importance of tooth hygiene; he’s hasn’t experienced a full toothache or dental procedure or even just the social shame of yellow teeth. When he is older he will reflect and look back on why his parents made him brush his teeth, and understand why with the new adult information he has, but until then, he does it because it is just something he is told to do and expected of him.
As you instil this “programming” into your kid, they will grow up with good habits and values. Make studying a normal part of life for a child, and they will take these study habits into adulthood. Have them exercising from an early age, and they will see exercise not as a chore but a necessity.
Good parents ban vices like fatty foods, excessive TV, and porn in their house. The child doesn’t know why these things are bad, they are never explained why these things are bad. Even if they are given great explanations about the dangers of these things, the kid will do them anyway, they are impulsive and hedonist and have no foresight, they are too stupid to make rational choices. Rational choices need to be made for them.
She was right all along
I had a huge problem with Video Games when I was a kid. My Mum would take a real hard stance against it and we would argue all the time. I would spend hours gaming and my mother would really clamp down on me for it. I hated her for it, I tried to convince her that it was perfectly acceptable and all the other kids did it and it was healthy and a way for me to express myself. She told me it was a waste of time and was numbing my brain and that I would understand when I was older but she wouldn’t let me waste my youth now. I thought she was being a stupid, out of touch old person and she just “didn’t get it”.
I grew up, and my mum was right. I look back on how much of my life I wasted gaming and how I got nothing for it, and I realise, with the information and worldview I have now, I was being a stupid little shit and she was right.
This happened with a lot of things. My mother used to always berate me about my posture, I didn’t care. Now, I care a lot. I’m fixing years of bad posture that could have been solved if I’d just listened to my mum. She was right.
“Masturbation is healthy” I’d argue with my mother. Everyone does it, it’s normal. She thought it was stupid and only losers masturbated excessively. She was right.
“You’re too skinny” she used to say “eat more and do some exercise”. I didn’t care, “stop body shaming me, I don’t need to be muscley, girls will love me for who I am”. Stupid fucking 16 year old. She was right once again.
I learnt the hard way so you don't have to
We all kind of grew up thinking our parents were stupid and out of touch and just “didn’t get” us; only to realise when we hit adulthood that our parents understood all along and we were just being stupid kids. Hopefully, the lucky ones were forced by their parents to behave well and reaped the rewards of good habits and values; most of us didn’t, and had to re-learn, the hard way, the things that our parents had to learn the hard way.
Our parents learnt the hard way and wanted us to avoid that struggle, so forced the lessons on us for our own good. A lot of us didn’t listen, only to discover the very same lessons decades later, wishing we had taken the advice.
Now let’s zoom out.
The Winning Formula
“Social Progress” is the biggest lie of our lifetimes. We, as a society, have been pushing through “progressive” and liberal ideals into our culture, and shedding off the rules and norms we used to have, in the name of progress. Our society, western civilisation, was built entirely on a foundation of social rules and regulations, religious cohesion, gender norms and familial attitudes. Ideas such as:
- The Nuclear Family
- Anti-Homosexuality
- Monogamy
- Subjugation and Inferiority of women
- The role of the husband and wife
- Anti-promiscuity
- Religion
These have all been foundations of every single successful society in history so far. Name one large culture or civilisation that made it to the 21st century without incorporating these basic tenets.
The Chinese have a strict societal structure, with rules that keep everyone following the general consensus and shaming in place to keep people in line. The Japanese do the same, the Hindus, the Jews, the Christians, the Muslims.
Islam is a perfect example of a well-functioning and successful culture that embodies all of these aspects of living together as a unit. They are expanding rapidly and invading the western world because they are cohesive, they are traditional and it works.
I have to stress this, as a societal strategy, traditionalism works. It has been the only one that worked. It is the reason the English colonised the world, the reason the Europeans had an enlightenment. The nuclear family with the white picket fence that goes to church every Sunday and is part of a strong, rigid community is the reason the US became the world superpower in the 20th century.
Societal Darwinism
As a strategy, this works. This strategy did not come about by accident. This strategy beat out every other cultural strategy and structure. I’m sure there were plenty of tribes and cities that practiced non monogamy and promiscuity and treated women as equals. What happened to them? Where are they now?
They lost to the superior strategy. Traditionalism was not an accident, Religion was not an accident. Religious rules are genius, they are the rules that result in a cohesive and well-functioning society. Our parents, our Ancestors, came up with these rules after millennia of trial and error and battle and take-over and Darwinism. This set of rules is the supreme winner, and is why you can see it in every successful society so far. There are no exceptions.
Without this rigid spiritual structure, without controlling women, without sexual strategy on a cultural scale, society collapses. It weakens and it crumbles and is defeated by cultures with a stronger, stricter, more cohesive populace.
But whyyyyyyyyy?
Our ancestors came up with this shit, they weren’t stupid, they knew what they were doing.
And we, like spoilt, stupid children, are questioning their authority. We are questioning thousands of years worth of refinement because what? It feeeeels bad? It’s not politically correct? It’s current year?
Shedding these traditional values will lead to our downfall, or already has. It may be too late. Cultural Marxists have gone on a rampage ensuring that we break every rule that our Ancestors have given us, and this will destroy us.
We are rebelling against our parents, we are not following their rules, because up until now we didn’t understand them. Just like Jimmy who won’t eat his spinach doesn’t understand he needs the vitamins and iron to run properly, the society who drops monogamy doesn’t understand that it needs the nuclear family and gender norms in order to run properly.
We are the petulant children throwing a tantrum and not doing as we’re told, and the other cultures, the ones who have stayed true to their traditional roots, are laughing at us.
The Muslims have every right to consider us degenerate, because we are. They can see how weak our society has become, they can see us rebelling against the very foundation of what made us great, and they will take advantage of this. They will invade and they will destroy, and they have every right to. Nature doesn’t care about morals or history, nature doesn’t care about how progressive or how much “freedom” a government gives to its people. The “freedom” to fuck about freely and be gay will result in these very people having their lineage destroyed and lands taken by the cultures who understand not to do these things. The “freedom” to choose to be a hedonistic degenerate will result in your entire genepool going extinct because a culture disciplined enough to control their sexual desires and treat their women like the children they are, will overcome.
"Because I said so"
Our ancestors had no way of explaining these rules to the children. They couldn’t say “control your wife because if you don’t her hypergamy will result in you being cucked and your lineage dying out”. They couldn’t say “homosexuality is a mental disease that threatens the fabric of inter-gender relations and will result in you having no offspring”. They couldn’t say “ masturbation is bad because it fucks with your dopamine levels and turns you into a mindless unmotivated zombie”.
There is no way to explain these complex social dynamics to the average worker ant, and no way to convince them to do these things with reason and logic. Instead, they resorted to “God said so, and if you don’t listen, you will burn in hell for eternity”. And lo and behold, it worked. The fear of punishment and submission to authority resulted in people following the rules and society functioning well.
You can’t explain to little Jimmy that he must pull his tooth out straight away so that his new tooth doesn’t grow in crooked, he doesn’t really understand these things, and he isn't motivated by them. Instead tell him that the Tooth Fairy will give him a good reward, or Santa will put him on the naughty list. Jimmy now starts following your advice and he gets his straight teeth, following the rules but not really understanding why.
We have been following the rules and not understanding why, and it’s lead us to good places. The leaders understood why, Jesus and the Apostles understood why, Mohammad, the “prophets”, the “word of god”, all geniuses who came up with successful ways to construct society.
Learning the hard way
Now that we have dropped the rules and are starting to see the damage not following them is causing us, we understand why. We know why the rules were in place, but we had to irreversibly fuck ourselves over to discover it. We had to learn the hard way the things our ancestors were trying to teach us. The things they learned the hard way, knowledge passed down, through millennia now shunned. It’s frustratingly arrogant.
Our parents were right. Our ancestors were right. Traditionalism is correct. It is the winning societal strategy. We have destroyed all of the pillars that held up our great western civilisation, and now the walls are tumbling down.
We are choosing what feels good, over what works. We are choosing Hedonism and Death, over Discipline and Life.
Lessons Learned:
-
Western Civilisation was built on Traditionalism
-
Our ancestors were very clever and realised Traditionalism is the best way to build a cohesive society
-
Traditionalism is the Evolutionary successful strategy
-
We have rejected Traditionalism and adopted a worse strategy
-
We will be destroyed by Traditional societies
-
We are learning this the hard way
-
It may already be too late
