How many children do you have/do you think you will have?

[Carnyx]

And before you reach 30.

It's sad that anyone voted to have none much less over 13 percent of the votes.

I think and hope to have 4 or 5 (preferably 5).

Yes, that's really sad. I believe that we, if we choose not to procreate, disrespect our ancestors by ending their(thus our) bloodline.
I imagine it's horrible to know that your blood will die with you.

Good luck

Very true especially amongst communities such as ourselves. I think there must be a fair amount of "avoidance" of the subject for those who here who choose not to have children because, if they thought about it, I would be sure that they would think not having children, ending your bloodline, etc. is a terrible thing to choose.

Good luck

Thank you.

Spengler in his Decline of the West juxtaposes members of peasant and noble families of yore, who were deadly frightened that their bloodline might die out, should they remain without offspring, to the modern city-dwelling bourgeois individual(ist) who does not seem to care about it a bit.

Why did this change of mind-set occur?

After women were forced out of the home and into the workplace, a new scale by which success was measured arose as a result of this change. It may be very simplified, but I believe this to be the fundamental reason.

This is only one part of the explanation. Besides, when Spengler wrote his famous book, in the twenties of 20ieth century, the "liberation of women" had not yet gained so much momentum. In those times it was women from poor working families who worked, simply because they were forced to, as you yourself imply, in order to feed their families, since one wage did not suffice for the family. It was hardly a question of success, but of a mere survival.

Spengler was - however - alluding to something else: to the cosmopolitan, urban, middle-class type of man who lost that primordial fear of the extinction of his bloodline, which was more than natural in most people in earlier times.

We neither have nobility nor peasantry these days. And if you do not have a farm to pass on to your children - or a castle and forests - then the future is looking pretty dim for your offspring.

I would hate to take on the responsibility of raising a child in the society we now have here in Britain. I don't like being negative but the outlook here is bleak. Miscegenation is rife and encouraged. I know it would destroy me if a child of mine chose a black partner.
So for me, and until the present situation is reversed, it's not going to happen.

I understand, naturally, but don't you think that such attitude just hastens the overall process of degradation and depopulation? I believe that we're nothing without our children. If there's no one to carry on our names and our cultures, in time we will become but a pale shadows in the memories of those who will come after us, meaning that we have lived in vain. I might be very young, but my experience taught me that if the children are raised in the proper way, they will never forget who they are.

In my opinion it's better to end one's bloodline than procreating new slaves for the system.

In my opinion it's better to keep your bloodline going, to give hope to future generations of your Nation to keep up the fight against those who run the system.

Hm, hm....

Or maybe procreate children and try to teach them how to avoid - as much as possible - being slaves of the system? And to teach them some real moral and national(ist) principles.

Yea! And remember! Germans have telepathy! You can do it all without having to worry about government spies! .
