We’ve all heard the proverb that it takes a village to raise a child. It should be common sense wisdom to all, yet boomers never thought much about that. They are an entire generation without any real wisdom.

If it takes a village to raise a child, it certainly takes a whole family — grandparents and extended family — to raise the next generation. But our culture of hyper-independence has led our people to being so isolated (from their own family) that you feel lucky just to be within driving distance of a single extended family member. And on top of this, with boomer parents, you were lucky if they even stayed together to maintain the nuclear family. It seems most boomers are now out and about with their retirement, going on cruises and expensive vacations, living alone, too busy and estranged from their own family to help out with grandchildren; if they even have any grandchildren at all.

This culture of hyper-independence and isolation is a big part of why Whites don’t have strong families and communities anymore, and thus why they are in a demographic decline.
