The Effects of Cancel Culture
Cancel culture is endemic within the academy and leads to soft cancellations.
Soft cancellations are not public and are a form of protection for the accuser.

The mere fact that someone was on a podcast with a controversial figure can lead to accusations of affiliation.

Alternative Means of Education

Criminology Studies
Criminology is a field of study that focuses on crime and its causes.
There are many landmark studies within criminology that have brought the notion of marriage into perspective as a force for reducing potential violence in the future.
Marriage means that you are less likely to grow up in a single parent household, which is associated with higher rates of crime and risk profiles for men and boys who grow up in single parent households.
There will probably be a cohort of young men that grow up without fathers who engage in criminal activity.
One study found that 85% of prison inmates grew up in a single parent household.
Marriage and Crime
The presence of two parents within a household is substantive and incredibly impactful when it comes to not just deterring young boys away from crime but improving life circumstances.
Single mother households have lower income, higher rates of depression, and lower graduation rates compared to stable two parent households.
41% of children in the United States are currently born out of wedlock, and one in five children live in single parent households.
One in five children in the United States live in single mother households, which is a significant problem.
The two parent advantage is coming out in about two weeks time, and it is shocking to see the outcomes are really really scary.
Social Justice and Marriage
Many people from high-flying institutions and parts of government could instantiate policies that would be able to help these people feel like they're being patronized.
It is actually racist in and of itself to view these views of these high-fluent individuals as a soft form of bigotry or racism.
Thomas Soul has looked at this issue in great detail in his books, and it is only when the model cities act came into effect in the 1960s United States that we saw a degradation of the black family structure and therefore increases in crime within black communities.
The right galvanizing activation energy, or the flashpoint, could light what appears to be the foundation of a particularly disgruntled group of young men, which is one match being lit away from a massive crisis.
There are modern examples to show that marriage is a force for reducing potential violence in the future.
The One Child Policy in China
The One Child Policy in China resulted in an approximate number of 80 million lost women.
There is a massive surplus of young single men in China.
Five to six percent increase in violent and property crime in China due to the surplus of men.
A study indicated that between 1988 and 2004, one of the rise in property and violent crime within China was due to the surplus of men between the ages of 16 and 25.
In Mexico, for every one for the decrease of one men per 100 within the population, there is a commence at 0.43 reduction in homicides per 100,000.
Polygyny and its Impact on Relationships
Polygyny is a form of polygamy where a small number of men have relationships or dice with these women who think that they're in a relationship.
The majority of men that are not in any sort of relationships are not in a relationship.
The principle of polygyny is that a small number of males in Antiquity and ancient times had sex and reproduce with the majority of women.
One anthropologist found that for every 17 female ancestors of ours that reproduce one male ancestor of ours reproduced.
One man capturing the attention of many women is quite easy to see in a world that's got casual sex and situationships.
Digital Harms and Online Dating
Digital harms refer to the negative effects of online dating on relationships.
One guy cycling through multiple women throughout his 20s, 30s, and 40s can leave a wake of broken hearts.
The more extreme sides of the red pill and manosphere advice create precisely the broken and discarded women that men are now going to have to pick up and piece back together.
The philosophy benefits some men at the expense of everybody else.
The advice around how to date women creates precisely the broken and discarded women that men are now going to have to pick up and piece back together.

Hungary's Family and Child Care Spending
Hungary spends 4.9% of its national GDP on family and child care, which is above the OECD average.
One of Hungary's policies is a loan policy where married couples with a woman between the ages of 18 and 40 can take out a general-purpose loan interest-free if they have a child within the first five years of taking out the loan, and the payment is expanded or suspended for another three years if a second child is born.
Another policy is a tax imbursement where every family with a child can have a tax reimbursement of 100,960 Hungarian foret, equivalent to about 550 USD per year.
Hungary's birth rate has remained stagnant and flat, with a total fertility rate of 1.3 in 2010, despite policies aimed at increasing it.
Hungary's fertility rate has increased to 1.54 in 2023, but it hasn't had a massive increase.
Interventions and Fundamental Forces
Hungary's policies have had some success, but more fundamental forces play a role in population growth.
A study by Volet in 2020 found that 23 countries would have their population reduced by 50% or more by 2100.
34 countries would have their population reduced by 25 to 50% by 2100, and 150 countries will no longer be able to sustain their current population by 2050.
The global replacement rate of 2.1 is not being met, and at a rate of 2.33, there will be four great-grandchildren for every 100 people now.
An 8% extinction rate is predicted over the next 100 years due to low birth rates.
Social Investment and Public Policy
More social investment in public policy is needed to address the issue of low birth rates.
Research is needed to determine the most effective policies to implement.
Social investment in education, healthcare, and childcare can help to increase birth rates.
Increasing the availability of affordable housing and job opportunities can also help to attract families.
Governments can also provide incentives for families to have more children, such as tax credits or childcare subsidies.
