It really looks like the majority of people aged 25-40 view Christmas as a performative familial obligation. UNLESS they have children, in which case the cycle continuing provides its own incentive.

If I say "I'm really worried about status of the family unit and the future demographics of my society" the statement will be parsed as right wing. "But what about me I'm not heteronormative" -- who fucking cares, nobody cares who you want to fuck, I'm talking about intergenerationality. You could adopt. Shut up.

There really is a psyop to stop first worlders breeding so that the resultant demographic slide renders economic migration the only solution, isn't there? Every time you see men and women hating each other, it's because of that invisible hand.
