In fact Europeans were stunned by the way Native Americans treated children - as deserving vastly more attention and tenderness and playtime than adults. The traditional family has been shifting through history. From extended families and kin groups to nuclear families to whatever. I do have my preferences but when I hear the traditional family lauded I wonder which one? It seems for some it is working class families in the 50s. But those family dynamics would have disturbed traditional families two generations back. And certainly if there was emigration invovled.
I mean, I do happen to think two parents, one male, one female tends to be best, especially if there are other family members who take on parts of the parenting type roles and the children also get connnected to their friends parents. You know moving in the direction of the old village family, the tribal family.
But I think most people, when they think tradition they mean something specific, hallucinated, limited to a period and culture.
I am not a postmodernist in preference. I prefer some setups to others, but hell, some traditions are terrible.
In general, the Conservative-Right-Republican believes in Traditional Marriage. This harkens to ancient European memories, where the European mindset is still that of a European Medieval peasant. The wife is virgin, married to her husband under the purview and jurisdiction of a local Catholic Priest, Bishop, or Parish, and that is the basis by which Europeans know of
family to this day. It wasn't until "Protestantism" (Heresy) came along, and disrupted the Catholic model. Then, later, under Protestantism, the traditional family unit was further ruptured and broken apart by Industrialization and Post-industrial societies, to today, where Postmodernity brutally attacks the traditional (European) family unit.
This is what I meant by 'Genetics' a few pages ago in this thread.
The Liberal-Left-Democrats, now including Marxists, Socialists, Anarchists, Wokies, LGBTQ+, George Soros, and all the evils of the Left, want to end the European "family unit". This is why they first replace it with "equally-valid" homosexuals, two men, or two women, who can "equally" have, raise, or maintain a family. They attack it with feminism, that women "don't need" a husband. They attack it with Wokism, Transgenderism, now Child Genital Mutilation. There's no such thing as "Man and Woman", but Xhe Xhim Xhers.
All of this started with Protestants, a long time ago, and is extended from that. Protestants thought they could 'copy' Catholic/Christian morality. They were and are, wrong, today. From Protestants, all these perversions have sprung forth, and grown into monstrosities.
But none of them can replace that distant memory in all European people, when times were simpler, when the Hearth was the warmth of the family unit, and a man's love for his wife, a woman's love for her husband, were the pride and core value of our people.
Which our enemies wish to destroy. That they are destroying, or attempt to destroy
in this very thread.
I can use Lacewing as an example. She rails against "banning books", but ignores exactly the type of "books" her side wishes to peddle. Then she contradicts herself a few responses later, a hypocrite, a "feminist". ...but but but she "values family" too. No, she doesnt.
You can't speak out of both sides of your mouth...either your moral values are centered around biological family, or they're not, and frivolous, gratuitous sex, are your modus operandi.
