and weakened our people
its the culture and economy
now we have a different kind of black plague
Because their genetics are near identical, they share millennia of history, they share a political organisation and they mostly speak the same language @Medman
Hard to get more similar than that
that's not clear
spitefull mutants eh
the changes that were necessary in order to fight the war were immense and it included protecting the weak and useless from harm while putting the strong and resourceful up in front of it
in that scenario, this would just be the price for specialisation, you never had the riches your thought you had
The nuclear family was the first step in a great decline
its the same as with warfare, the true war cost peak 50 years after the war or so
ah pretty much everyone is
Building strong, large familial units is the cornerstone to the future though
The English have the highest concentration of traditional families in Europe.
So at least we can work based on that
so you can estimate whats in store for usa
the thing is, i was half joking before, but the coldness has probably always been there
people did not move as far away from each other back in the day
a map of single motherhood in the world would be interesting right now
or get as disconnected due to limited economic opportunity
in North America we had a large land area to colonize
so they stayed together more out of necessity and because it was easier
north west of france eh,make sense
that in part drove the nuclear family
a new generation would move west and settle
when it became possible to separate geographically and economically, the familial bonds that were previously necessitated broke apart
people had to live closer together
they needed each other
and it was harder to move
and less reason to move because less free economy and less opportunity
and harder transportation
they didn't live together
hmm
your link doesn't show that they lived in the same house
in fact, it shows they did not
if you read it
what research is this even based on
People in the colonial territories were faced with mass hostility from foreign peoples at every turn in the form of the natives and also suffered severe resource and labour scarcities which most likely would have emphasised the importance of the extended family unit, rather than diminished it
the point is, what do you think changed?
