Growing a Family

March 21, 2022

I’ve been bombarded with the term “Growing a family” one time too many by the Official Media so that I want to unpack it. I find ‘growing’ a family to be a loaded term in two ways. First up though, what is the meaning of the term?

Kiwi parenting websites and Google quickly inform me that ‘Growing’ a family simply means making it bigger either by adding babies or partners. But I thought we already had words for those things such as marriage and having children. Likewise, I had also thought ‘hiring’ and ‘induction’ were enough words for the language already without this new one that means both: Onboarding. Apparently there is a problem here with the English language that it has too many specific words and we need to get rid of some.

Reducing our vocabulary removes the tools we have to map out meaning. Strip away a word and a concept is taken away with it. If it was an important root word then an entire avalanche of meaning might slide away along with it. Increasing the vocabulary of a person, or the national discourse for that matter, very much tracks with intelligence. One of the many things Mike Judge got right in his film Idiocracy (2006) was an unintelligent future population with very small vocabularies.

The first way in which ‘Growing Families’ is a loaded term that it strips away biological boundaries. Anyone can ‘grow’ a family in these terms. No need for a womb, for biological reproduction, for Primary Sexual Characteristics, a man and a woman, or even a baby. A man getting ‘married’ to another man has “grown his family.” An old Hollywood star who adopts a Ukranian orphan has “grown her family” and perhaps also if she buys a cat or even a house plant¹. Maori Academics want in include rivers and rocks so I guess, now, a volcanic eruption or a nasty flood counts as “growing my family” in an increasing great blur of lost meaningfulness!

To mention you have a father or have had a child is exclusionary to the non-breeders. So, they are taking away the concepts that hurt them. The language is being altered to defamiliarise and delegitimise New Zealanders with Politically Incorrect terms such as man, woman, mother, father, husband, wife, son, daughter. It’s not enough that our Open Society does not morally or legally discriminate against non-breeders. It does not matter that they are now offered superior social status. The capitulation doesn’t stop them wanting more to the point where they now demand the epistemological and metaphysical territory too.

What Politically Correct term is “mother” to be replaced with? “Birthing Parent.” Father? “Non-gestational” or “non-birthing co-parent.” Instead of breastfeeding call it “chest-feeding.” Rather than sire a baby and parent him you are expected to gestate a gender-neutral ‘they’ (theyby?) and, in due course, receive a HAPPY NON-GESTATIONAL CO-PARENT’S DAY CARD on what used to b called Father’s Day.

What does a growing family mean? If you mentioned the growth of your family, you might mean that babies were born or people got married, increasing your family’s size. Growth – Definition, Meaning & Synonyms | Vocabulary.com

“Growing great families now…To grow great, healthy families, we as parents need to think about what our roles are as parents and consider how our actions will affect our children’s futures, no matter what age they are…Through reflection, and introspective thinking, we can help to create the initial building blocks to growing a strong and healthy family.” – Growing great families by KATE ANDERSON, Kiwi Families.co.nz

“Women have nothing left that’s ours. Anyone can appropriate our sex. We are referred to as “bleeders” and “pregnant people.” Biological men beat us out of our own spaces. “Women” doesn’t have any definition or meaning. And we’re expected to accept our own erasure. it’s gross.” – Sydney Watson, (March 2022); Carl Benjamin, Facebook

“Words never fail. We hear them, we read them; they enter into the mind and become part of us for as long as we shall live. Who speaks reason to his fellow men bestows it upon them. Who mouths inanity disorders thought for all who listen…Language is the medium in which we are conscious.” – Richard Mitchell

According to someone named Sydney Watson on Twitter the concept and word ‘woman’ has been erased. Apparently even at the Olympic level as the latest headlines tell us that Strong Woman Lia Thomas has beaten all of the “bleeders” or “pregnable people” or “cisgendered female swimming persons.” The locus of our society has shifted from breeders and their non-breeding support people to being all about the support people! Western Culture has lost track of the fact that our survival as a people, as a species even, totally relies on creating future generations. Surely we are in a Clown World situation. A Lemming Cycle situation where hundreds of thousands of pink and blue-haired they/thems are working out with gravity who will and will not win if they jump off the biological cliff.

The second way in which ‘Growing Families’ is a loaded term is the normalisation of propagating people as if they were radishes. Gone, the idea of creating life or bonds of attachments or parenting or any of the steps in Maslow/Ericson/Piaget’s developmental highways. Now the adventure of being a parent is dumbed down to the idiocracy low-vocab term ‘grow’ which is the same word we use for what mildew does. Note how ‘growing’ a family really isn’t the same as having a nuclear family and can be accomplished by a prolific r-selected reproductive strategy reminiscent of a Monty Python song about Catholics or even by having a polygamous relationship with many husbands and/or wives.
I want my finger nails to grow, my hair to grow, my muscles to grow, my carrots to grow, my grass to grow, my sheep herd…Do I want to “grow” my family? More wives? Larger children, more children? Is growing the quantity automatically want everyone wants as the term suggests or is it want some people want and are imposing by stealth? I don’t think New Zealand children want to be grown I think they want to be loved and connected to quality parents. They want serotonin not growth hormones or even estrogen doping. But if it’s not in our interests then who is it that wants to Grow Your Family?

Ah yes, the Anarchist worked this out long ago: The State is the one that wants us to grow rather than flourish. The Statists, the mainstream Woke NPCs, view us all as tax farm livestock. A farmer wants to see his beef and chicken and wool and crops “grow” not make friends or develop. When you are a product you are a means to an end not an end in yourself. As in Hobbes’ Leviathan the Government and its many bureaucrats see themselves as the brain and vital organs in a great collective but the rest of us have no lives to lead. We are lucky if we are a body part like a toenail or earwax to them! More like their shoe collection or carrot patch or toilet roll. When people are treated like property the master doesn’t want them to seek fulfillment or innovation or independence or education (Well, not unless it makes you a more productive asset.) No, they just want you to grow! Fill out your census stock-take once in a while, have a “hmmm” before you consider putting their health budget at risk,  let any remaining institutions of your own be further centralised, let Nanny State do the thinking and the farming and grow! Retire then quickly die, thanks. Let in more migrants who have nothing to do with your values or culture project so ‘we’ will grow! The State doesn’t care about serving its dairy herd only making it, you, your wife, your children, your family….GROW.
