- [S07 E18] Birth Strike in the USA
American women are on a birth strike. The U.S. leads the developed world in reducing the global birth rate. Only well-funded government programs for families and children will change this phenomenon. U.S. women cannot be the national safety net. This week's episode explains why U.S. women are on a birth strike and what we can do to correct that.

Or maybe the wage slaves have finally woken up and no longer want to create more servants for the rich.
@@bazodee2 that is actually part of the point.
Bingo!
Hardly enough money to take care of myself, will never own a home due to price, thus no stability for the child/family. Social media and the government have turned us against each other. I might as well try to enjoy my life the best I can rather than have my child suffer.
When it comes down to it, American citizens are cattle and our only value to the system is our labor. The system wants that labor as cheap or free as possible. If they control women and tell men they are better and entitled to women, they get captive producers of future cattle/labor. If the system weakens education and doesn’t teach sex while also taking away birth control, a vicious cycle of uneducated cattle/labor will be produced.
People are living longer which to the system means they can work longer which is why they are trying to push back or take away completely our social security. We’ll just work until we die.
Child labor laws are being removed because the system wants their cattle to work as soon as possible. They’re easier to exploit.
If you can’t work or refuse to work, you have the threat of becoming poor and homeless. This will force you to most likely commit crime to survive. You will then be incarcerated and forced to work for free. Eventually being poor or homelessness will be a crime in itself and you’ll simply get locked up automatically. Or just die.
The system doesn’t like same sex marriage because cattle can’t be produced in a fast and cheap way. So the system tells others same sex marriage is evil or a crime.
The system will do the bare minimum to keep us just healthy or alive enough so we can work. They won’t reduce the work week or hours or raise wages. They’ll do the opposite. The very little money you earn goes to meeting basic needs, something that should be a basic human right provided by the government. They don’t want you to have free time. That’s bad. You need to be productive. The propaganda is everywhere. Rise and grind. Hustle culture. Side businesses.
They tell us unions are bad. We get isolated with cars and suburbs. They tell us that other races, sexes, and cultures are the cause of problems. All to divide us and preventing us from socializing and forming communities that come together to rise up and tear down the system.
Excellent comment. 🎯🎯
@@nathanpellow4428 yup 🤙🏻
This was an excellent comment and absolutely true.
perfect!
I don’t want to raise a child in the current situation the US is in. I don’t want my daughter or son to have grow up in this nation of consumerism and individualism. I don’t want my children to have to toil from age 18 to 80 in order for some investors to raise their bottom lines.
Not even kids. People are not even getting together
Who has time? I gotta work
Because the men are not worthy of choosing.
@@yorgivon-schmourgeussborgithe feeling appears to be mutual
@@yorgivon-schmourgeussborgi Nonsense. Women would rather share a high value man who uses them rather than settle for average men who would be loyal to them. 60% of men 18-50 have given up trying to date. They are not even looking. What makes women so much better than men? What exactly do women bring to the table, besides drama, attitude, and problems?
@@yorgivon-schmourgeussborgi Roastie Detected-Opinion rejected
I was raised around evangelical Christians. I got married and had four children under the assumption that the community would support me and my family. All of their rhetoric would make you assume that they care very deeply for children’s well being. We found out the hard way that this is not the case. What they really were always going on about was controlling women. They have been downright hostile to poor families with all their MAGA nonsense. It’s been absolutely terrifying to observe.
I don’t have kids because I’m not going to give up the little bit of money I have to pay for the next generation of livestock.
Reproductive rights are human and survivor’s rights,🇺🇸💜women hold up half the sky. Codify🗳️💙roe and ban chíld marriage. Protect C/SA survivors🇵🇸🕊️Ⓐ☭🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️💫
No kids - good News give the Earth s chance to breath
When I check the stats of births per female by country, I don’t see any “restoration of birthrate” in France, Sweden, Germany etc. The decline in birthrates worldwide doesn’t seem to correlate with state subsidized child/family support. Any potential bounce back over the decades is in line with the effects from the baby booms since the world wars. But even those booms are smoothing off now.
However, I agree that our combined excess wealth from work should be ploughed into infrastructures and enhancing life rather than the military and colonial expansionism.
Yeah, this lady has no idea what she's talking about. The primary reason why people aren't having children is women's rights. The secondary reason is cost. This is very obvious.
Less people provides more habitat for the millions of other species
True
Let’s get this more views everyone!!!!!!
Children are the future of every nation.
But, woman create the need for nations, by peaceful civilization.
Naturally, the first step to treating women as property and breeding stock, was the idea that one could treat any sentient being as property and breeding stock.
Maybe men should just leave women alone.
And birth strikes especially in China and Japan.
Korea too
@@cev12 It's disingenuous to think that only Western economies are suffering from the kinds of problems that make having a big family, or any family, impossible. Likewise, it isn't only Western countries that suffer inflation, bank failures, and the rich prospering excessively while workers lose ground. Unemployment isn't an American only phenomenon nor is greed. Speculation and stock market booms and busts happen everywhere capitalism flourishes.
When I hear both of the highly educated Wolffs tear the United States and capitalism apart I agree with them. But when I hear about the glorious Chinese society and about Russia's clever side step of sanctions while they invade and destroy a neighboring country I also must come to the conclusion that they are not properly analyzing the depradations of capitalism on the Chinese worker, or on the Russian mother that sees her ill trained son marched off to war to be maimed or to die for the crazy ambition of a brutal, authoritarian nationalist with Imperial aspirations. Everywhere that capitalism gets its hooks into an economy and controls the political narrative there are employers who get richer and employees who never make much progress. Workers are allowed so much comfort and no more while the state and bosses run rampant. Those who have money and investments simply move their assets and wait for things to improve in hard times. The very small business may founder and employees face unemployment, but big capitalists simply go on accumulating.
In France big capitalists are doing everything to reduce worker benefits. They want workers to work longer and harder. They aren't happy about having to let women and men who have new babies take time off work. It's workers who fight for their benefits that keep the French system going. There is nowhere on earth where the rich willingly redistribute wealth for the benefit of their nation unless they get some direct benefit from charity or are forced to share the wealth.
The Wolffs show us what is wrong with our country but their delight in undemocratic, nationalistic, aggressive and authoritarian regimes is not well thought out.
Think for yourself and accept what makes sense and reject propaganda, stated or implied.
I always remember what Isaac Asimov answered when asked about over population, and said women are the future. "Because if women have full ability to enter into all facets of the human condition. If they can enter religion, science, business, government on an equal basis with men, they will be so busy they won't feel as necessary to have a great many children." He also stated in 1988, that 5.5 billion people were enough and were not all enjoying the human dignity that all humans should enjoy, because we were taxing all our resources to the limit. I wonder what he would say today with 8 billion people.?
Life has always been a struggle and people are finally saying why should we have kids just to be poor and to send our kids off to war and then be wage slaves like us. When some people are multibillionaires because they were lucky and states spend trillions on their military while citizens live under bridges then people are going to say no to babies.
Maria Gimbutas’ Kurgan peoples theory seems to be increasingly the best framework for understanding the replacement of Matriarchal ‘old Europe’
I read Robert Graves' Greek mythology and he describes the early matriarchal religions as not less violent ...infact practicing male sacrifice routinely. That said he didn't justify patriarchy as the solution, but if you were a man about to be sacrificed you might consider running off to the nearby patriarch to survive at the very basic. I think knowing human nature, any system can't have been 'good'. The corruption that comes with power is the downfall of every system
Thank you Dr. Fraad for another insightful and thought-provoking episode.

That was a lovely historical overview of 'the naturally occuring consequences or *fallout of oppression* .'
We (America) may have abirth strike. But we will never have a shortage of people. We will, instead, have more and more immigrants from the counyries we have screwed over during the last century and a half.
Retirement is going to have to be funded by wealth in the future, not by ever greater numbers of workers. The global poulation must soon reach its peak and start a gradual decline, if we are to provide a decent standard of living for everyone on the planet.
Strict, ownership capitalism must be replaced by stakeholder capitalism, if capitalism is to continue.
I think the real reason patriarchy replaced matriarchy is due to the need to fight wars to either own property or control access to natural resources. This was especially true in arid lands such as the Middle East.
Agree, immigrants from these countries will cover manpower shortages decades before increased local population can. And we must endure America's performance about protecting the sacred borders, keeping its citizens safe from drug pushers and other bad types, knowing its just got what it wants. A work force of lower paid employees who can be made fear unions.
I don’t agree with the argumentation of either of you, but my one question is why we would bother keeping capitalism at all when it clearly consists under the growth imperative unique to capitalism. Under socialism we could have GDP growth in the sense that society could dramatically improve its infrastructure and basic living conditions without regard to profitability, and we could choose to make things based upon their utility to humankind (what Marx called “use value”) instead of their exchange value. This doesn’t mean we should or would choose to make things aesthetically worse than under capitalism (if anything hopefully we would choose to make things MORE beautiful and novel, but not because of their higher exchange value, and instead because humans have an innate need for beauty and novelty), but rather than beauty being available only to those with wealth, we would choose to make beauty available to all people. But the profit imperative of capitalism often leads to outcomes whereby inventions with extreme utility to the world are not allowed to come onto the market because of their effect on the profitability of other industries, or because they are too expensive even as they would have massive positive benefits to society (for example, American cities don’t bother building the sort of fully automated metro/subway systems that are being built in much of the world today all because of the slightly higher upfront capital costs, even as they provide the most efficient, reliable, and fast public transportation - and as they require less labor which saves money on operations, and obviously part of the story comes down to the fact that America sees public transportation as a service for the poor and thus the poor don’t deserve the sort of fancy modern transportation with extreme frequency and the freedom that comes with not having to wait for the train, because that freedom is a privilege only for car owners). Sorry for the tangent but I just had to ask.
Lots of guys weren't chosen for "The Fatherly Duties" while they were building themselves up (going to school, getting your money, benefits, military service). Many guys aren't dumb enough to do it now...
That's fine, because many women will never choose men. 😂😂😂😂

It's not a strike. It's a CHOICE. Why is this word so terrifying to those who would control us all?
Because they want to control us.

Science has also confirmed that women were hunters and warriors as well. Whoever was best suited for a role, did the job, regardless of sex or gender
Today, women want a man to be provider and protector, but not a leader. Women on the other hand, are not willing to fulfill their role as homemaker and nourisher. women and men should be upfront about their intentions and expectations. If they agree on the expected roles, fine. This way no one wastes their time.
Totally true.
Sweden had much higher birth rates than less social democratic countries up until 2016, the they started to fall here too. That doesnt mean it is irrelevant that children cost money and capitalism doesnt pay for them unless it is forced to. However, it shows that there is a new problem besides that issue.
I believe it is high speed internet. The internet and its commercial algorithms (which are of course very much capitalist constructs) are giant designer drugs. Designer drugs that have managed to short circuit the human need for relationships of all kinds which also affects child rearing. I believe this is a poison as dangerous and any other we have ever concocted for ourselves and we are not reacting to it quickly enough. Since so much of our economic activity is tied up to the internet, the powers that be are trying to blame the problems it causes on everyone and everything else than the algorithm. On women being cold hearted harpys who spurn family and children for career and selfishness and other nonsense, because dealing with the actual problem would be expensive to the ologarchs.
There is no other way to deal with this than to try and combat this capitalist disease head on and the countries who dare to do that are the ones who will sustain themselves into the next generation.
Hehe and here I am sooooo happy to be able to access dansbandsmusik, nyckelharpa etc through my mobile back in India. I love Swedish culture as I see it from here and I have one really great friendship from Sweden. Yes he is without a child though and going down the right wing path asking for Swexit hehe..
A fine lady, but must disagree with her theory about population reduction. It,s soley due to a lack of trust in the future, fear of poverty, loss of trust in their governments, fear of war, fear of being overrun by mass migrantion from foreign cultures, fear of increasing crime, and drug missuse. In short it,s the fault of the governments and a dicipline free society. Especially in the US.
But sir/madam, weren't these issues happening since centuries. Infact the life expectancy was far worse then. So I believe it's the increased life expectancy which creates room for our ability to think that childlessness is possible and great. I think it's a product of the 'good' like access to antibiotics, prenatal and post natal care etc that we started on this route which no animal on this planet could do
@@gamer-ff6mh Sir/madam, the issue was about the very low birth rate in most nations, and not about life expectancy. This extreamly low birth rate is being reported for the first time, and was previously unknown, or historically at least unreported. Best regards.
I think it’s more about respect.
People aren’t often motivated by thinking about what’s going to happen in two decades.
But producing a large family is no longer a source of respect, and having less money to spend on whatever has become an even greater source of respect than it used to be.
Thank you
I didn't have kids because I didn't want to bring them into this world. To face the injustice and refusal to listen to citizens. As it is they are trying to drain me of every cent and send me to a pauper's grave.
I feel like these stats are cherry picked and glossed over rather than looking deeper at the research.
Right, South Korea is the developed country with the worst birth rate...
translation = uncomfortable to listen to these facts
I feel that your opinion is not really based on these "stats" that you have uncovered, but more on their glossiness and cherry-red ripeness. Don't get out over your head in the research, because there is an undertow.

I’m 1000% with women making their own decisions independently. They should also be held accountable for their actions and stop blaming men.
even dating is just so out of reach now, since things are so so expensive
Dating is out of reach for most men because women are only choosing the top 20%. The Bottom 80% of men are left out in the cold.

Investing in stocks & crypto is a good idea,a good trading system would put you thought Many day's of success.
People prefer to spend money on liabilities, Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable.
You're so correct save,invest and spend for necessities and few luxuries relative's to one's total assets ratio.
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, tone like mrs Geraldine Lane.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
i saw the fertility data, none of them show recovery for france or sweden, and the us is better than most. where is your data from? sure those programs are great, but it doesn't seem to have the effect of raising fertility
NO MASTERS Our children will be free or our children will not be. Thank you for making the video :)
The US has not achieved a universal program, ergo it is difficult to get advancement on any other universal programs.
Great explanation! Belief Systems have a lot to answer for in this area. The Abrahamic Belief Systems are based on the Original Sin of the first real humans Adam & Eve. to whom all humans are related. DNA has proved without doubt the these two humans never existed. No human is related to Adam & Eve so not one human is guilty by association. It also proves that this Belief system is a myth one can chose to believe it and many do but it is a myth., This is a way that women can be controlled. Women have found out! No wonder we have no wish to continue having children to be born into slavery.
YES, I agree with you especially on takeoff where a bird strike could be devastating

@@iamreadytoroam8903young materialistic rich western kids say that on reddit. Boo-hoo.
the increase of "forever toxic" chemicals in the environment, like PFAS, widely used by the USA's military, and dumped without regulation, especially, abroad, is far more physiologically DISRUPTIVE, than moderately INERT nano+micro plastics, from erosive action from weathering, which come in both non-biodegradable (persistent) and biodegradable (disintegrating) versions
most people have both kinds of internal contamination, of our body parts:
disruptive forever toxic chemicals

moderately inert fine plastic particulates

but forever toxic chemicals, are far more pervasive throughout both our food chain, plants and animals, not just our water supply
@@joeblow832 stop gaslighting us

terrible theory. Patriarchy as family and public control happened when men got powerful enough from public activity (military in rome) to have the wife want to live with the father in law. A change from matrilocal to patrilocal and this matrilineal to patrilineal
Patriarchy got started waaaay before Rome, and was “discovered” at different times in many societies. I’d suggest reading “Ecology of Freedom” for a summary with footnotes.
@@NunyaB1s Prehistoric starts have little evidence by definition. Rome institutionalised and named it
@@kimcosmosAnthropologists and archaeologists are able to say a lot more than you think. Try “The Dawn of Everything,” though it’s focus is more on stratified societies. We still know that patricentric cultures predated history just based on warfare, and the existence of gerontocracies. Even the Bible if you want to go there is evidence that patriarchal cultures existed prior to Rome. Who cares when the name was coined, we should be interested in origins.
@@NunyaB1s the name is important because it is in history - not prehistory, ie it is written evidence of codified systemic law. Other than that is like the dominance of agriculture over hunter gatherers... We are told it happened fast by theory. But in reality it oscilated in mixed forms back and forth for many milenia. What archaeology shows us its that reality is more complex than theory and can cause theory to miss basic principles, like which inlaw a couple moves in with...
@@kimcosmos Dawn of Everything. It’s a serious work. It encompasses what you say and more
I am normally a fan of Democracy at Work, but this is a terrible take. It's anthropocentric and quite honestly disgusting to see an anti-capitalist channel simping for infinite growth. Everyone is full of microplastics, the oceans are dying, we're causing a mass extinction, natural disasters are more frequent and intense-there is no reason that humans need to keep multiplying (in fact it will only make the coming famines and droughts more miserable).
Even if you're a climate change denier you have to admit that adding more meat to the grinder is bad for workers. When you create a surplus of labour it reduces the bargaining power/wages of workers. All it's good for is keeping consumerism chugging and raising taxes for governments to squander, while quality of life for the average person declines. You should be embarrassed for posting this video.
Without a guaranteed future labor force, governments will be forced to cut social programs and entitlements. Politicians will not do this because they will loose their jobs. The result is that mass immigration must be allowed or else the economy will collapse.
Uh, I don’t think Dr. Fraad is promoting either anti or pro-natalism, but simply stating the current situation and attempting an outline explanation from a feminist and progressive POV. From this perspective, she did a cracking good job, IMHO.
@@m.rebman7221 The entire video is predicated on the idea that declining birthrates is a negative thing. How is that not pro-natalist?

Unfortunately that dominance wasn't in moderation, the reason why they have dominated their men. You have to strike a perfect balance by giving each other their due rights.

Your freaking nuts.
So in these native communes, was there a lot of birth complications from inbreeding? If they didn’t know who’s children were who’s? Or did they control that the way animals do, by eating the affected infants? Just curious. 🤨 Of these cave people followed the example of wolves or cayotes, hunting in packs, why wouldn’t they also follow other examples from nature about survival of the fittest?
Everybody remembered who their mothers were. As long as they didn't sleep with their siblings it probably wasn't an issue. It wouldn't be an issue if a woman slept with multiple men who weren't her brothers.
I’m guessing either the women or young men would leave the tribe when they went through puberty and join a new tribe
@@milesfurther4395 there are still tribal peoples. I’ve met quite a few. So far not yet met one where the young men or women leave the tribe. But have met plenty that kick women into the wild from fistulas endured by difficult childbirths and sexual abuse. I worked for a nonprofit that does medical missions to developing nations. And studied International Relations on the Law & Policy tract at the University of Denver over 9/11/01, a hotspot for recruiting NSA, CIA and other alphabet or unnamed agencies at the time. It was then like U.C. Berkeley had been, I’d imagine with the PoliSci courses in the ‘60’s - ‘70’s right?
Wait - correction: Mormons kick the young men onto missionary work while they marry off their girlfriends and sisters to older members of the church. I had old friends from a performing arts group I played in that had escaped that system through theatrical performance, song, and dance opportunities. I stayed with a family in Brigham City for a while when a set of young men wanted to go back to see their families and girlfriends and a set of parents tried to get them to bring one of the girls back.
She chose not to attend
I’m just saying these utopian fantasies seem amazing on paper or in the world of academics but logistical reality doesn’t always match the imagination, no matter how compassionate you congratulate yourselves for being while fantasizing.
likely the concerns are false.previous and followup commentary is also false.
Because when you observe nature you realize “survival of the fittest “ is a Malthus-inspired Victorian characterization that ignores the rich diversity of mutualism. Check out some E. O. Wilson or even go straight to Kropotkin’s book “Mutual Aid”

We need future workers. We need tax childless couples. When kids becomes less expensive than taxes , pop can be reproduced. I am a manager and people become lazier as birth rates fall.
Your colonised mind is par for the course and the actual problem that got us into this mess in the first place. We need more workers? First of all, for what? To make other people rich? Secondly, what do you think the millions of immigrants being let in every year constitutes as? The immigration agenda is STRICTLY about supply and demand in the workforce, keeping wages low.

I'm happy at last because a wise judge told me I'd better not go home, the family is abusive and I'm not. Living alone without family for my golden years is wonderful - nobody has punched me since I left home. Being homeless and working is better than family.
