/polpol/ - Politically Incorrect Discussion

It's too bad this isn't getting more people biting. Considering how atomised we in the West have become, and how important kinship and community are, reclaiming the lost and the isolated should have a much larger focus than I have seen on the boards.

Does anyone know of any thinkers who have written about topics like this?

I have some inkling that the Mormons focused on this subject in their ministries, but am not sure how to look that up.

Hey there. I have recently just had this revelation myself, having just gone through another failed relationship. Everyone is scared of any form of commitment; even the smaller ones. Traditional values are dying, and they are what have made our society so stable in the first place. Its becoming increasingly harder to find someone who hasn't fallen into a degenerate lifestyle; someone who believes in a traditional relationship, with respect both ways. I yearn for these values, I yearn to have an equal love and commitment between my significant other and I. I want to have a family one day. We're all so easily fooled because the word love is thrown around so carelessly, only for us to find out later that they did not mean it, and that we wasted our time and love on the wrong person. This happens time and time again…I have decided to join a church, and there is one in my city dedicated to St Augustine of Hippo who had a lot to say about this kind of thing.

Well, there doesn't need to be a book about it if you ask me. I mean, it's pretty self explanatory, no?
If you want to raise children who are moral you'd need to do a lot on your own.
If you are capable and willing, you should homeschool your children to ensure nothing immoral can be taught to your children either by the school staff or by his classmates.
However, I wouldn't recommend homeschooling for any single child. Children still need social development in their life and the least you can do is homeschool two to three children.
Oh, you'll also need a wife who will be COMPLETELY backing you. Women tend to be softer so be careful. Discipline your kids, and most importantly, play with them. Entertain them. Throw the ball around outside or, hell, read to them! The parental bond is one that, when built correctly, can never break. Have them grow up loving their parents and their parents loving them back.

A pair of sociologists from Cornell and the University of Minnesota stumbled upon something /pol/ has known for years while studying the effects of eating together as a family on childhood development: single parent households suck donkey balls.

The associations that do hold up are a reduction in obesity and eating disorders.

Of course, the first group of researchers go out of their way to ignore their findings with regards "both biological parents present" and "a non-employed mother" in favor of future examination of "whether talking, television, texting, eating the same food, or helping in the kitchen mediate or moderate the potential benefits of mealtime."

tl;dr - sociologists study whether or not families eating together is a causative factor in healthy childhood development and instead find two parent households and stay-at-home moms are the real causative factors.

>It is necessary to foster strong and extended family bonds to nurture a strong family.
It becomes even more important when the culture of the society you live in is shallow and degenerate putting value on worthless things.

>If you are to begin this quest anew from a small or dysfunctional family then put effort into maintaining regular and meaningful contact with the members of your generation.

Couldn't have said it better myself OP. I picked up the wreckage of my broken family when i was just a teenager and even today i find myself in times where i need to put in extra effort to make good times and lasting times happen for all of us.

I draw a lot of strength from that one saying that goes something like "Every day you will leave one thing you want to do, and do one thing you don't want to do".

I don't remember the exact quote, but then again i don't need to because i've already incorporated it into my daily life and it works perfectly. My family has grown into good people.

This is a serious problem and why I go back to the methods and results instead of just accepting the discussion and conclusions of papers. SJW doublethink has saturated academia.

Since you posted this thread, I have spent a few days searching for writers along these lines and have mostly found what you say that; namely that most of the people who are interested in this kind of thing are in fact looking to redefine the family rather than regenerate it.

Could you list a few of the thinkers from these other posts? I am having some trouble locating such on my own.

Never forget
