The Anti-Children Crusade<\/a><\/p>\n

Depending on which sources you choose to believe, on or around the year 1212 A.D. there was\u00a0a \u201ccrusade\u201d made up largely of children.<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0Supposedly it was a peace-minded movement to travel to the Holy Land and convert the Muslims there to Christianity. No, it didn\u2019t work. Indeed, a great many of the participants were captured and sold into slavery. Others died of exhaustion before they got anywhere near the Holy Land.<\/p>\n

Well, today there\u2019s an ongoing \u201ccrusade\u201d of another kind: an\u00a0anti-children<\/i><\/b>\u00a0crusade. Those active in it will do just about anything to discourage live births, especially the births of white children.\u00a0I\u2019ve compiled a book of essays that touch on the subject.<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0Also, Pascal and I write about it\u00a0here now and then.<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0It\u2019s part of the reason for the decline of birth rates in Europe and North America.<\/p>\n

The crusade against children has several parts. My fiction colleague Hans Schantz\u00a0delineated some of its aspects here,<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0in a passage from his novel\u00a0The Hidden Truth.<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0There are others beyond those Hans touches on, though. One emerged\u00a0recently, from an unusual source:<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There\u2019s a new U.S. surgeon general\u2019s warning: Parenting can be harmful to your mental health.<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 An advisory issued Wednesday by Dr. Vivek Murthy, the nation\u2019s doctor, said parents in particular are under dangerous levels of stress.<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The report cites the American Psychological Association, saying nearly half of parents report overwhelming stress most days, compared with 26% of other adults. They\u2019re lonelier, too, according to cited data from health insurer Cigna. In a 2021 survey, 65% of parents said they were lonely, compared with 55% of those without kids.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How about that, Gentle Reader! Taking responsibility for the life of a helpless human being comes with\u00a0stress!<\/i>\u00a0Who could have guessed that before the Surgeon-General told us?<\/p>\n

(By the way, how do we define \u201coverwhelming stress?\u201d Is there a metric of some sort? The number of antidepressants taken per week, perhaps? Or must we wait for the sufferers to commit suicide before we can confidently diagnose it?)<\/p>\n

The stresses that impinge upon a household with minor children to care for are real enough. Yet our grandparents coped with them rather well. Generations before them did even better. That suggests that some, at least, of the stresses are of recent vintage. Rather than explore the matter in detail here and now, I\u2019ll simply say \u201cmore anon\u201d and proceed with my main point: the convergence of disincentives and discouragements against the bearing of children, which are most visible in First-World nations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A healthy fraction of those discouragements are deliberate. The people behind them don\u2019t want white Americans to have children. White Americans \u2013 the people who built this country, and are still overwhelmingly responsible for keeping it going \u2013 are being out-reproduced by just about every other identifiable demographic. I leave the consequences to your imagination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who would find such a trend desirable, and why? Why does Vivek Murthy, \u201cthe nation\u2019s doctor,\u201d find it appropriate to add his voice to it? Anyone? Bueller?<\/p>\n
