Is it odd, or is it the reason we see Europe in decline, that the majority of the elite Masters in Europe, have no children. Especially the women in power.

Probably some psychological thing at play there, but also to get to that position you probably don't have tons of time for kids...and feminism might have played a role in convincing them to rebel against a "female" lifestyle.

But... It does remind me of what someone (I think Jordan Peterson) said about a lot of childless women, and how they act out their maternal instincts through politics without even realizing it. They have their pet groups to care for, and they fiercely oppose anything they see as a threat to them.

Not surprising. Many of those leader are big losers. Just look at the mess they have made in Europe. Evolution at work.

Or you could have three children and cheat on your wife, divorce, have a child with your new wife, cheat on her, divorce, have a child with your new wife and leave that family in another state while you ruin the country. The morals party, ladies and gentlemen!

Thought topics such as this belonged strictly to the realm of gossipy old biddies. That or from drivel such as this:

A RATHER ODD AND TROUBLING FACT ABOUT EUROPEAN "LEADERS" - DCWhispers.com


Emmanuel Macron and the barren elite of a changing continent


The Childless Leaders of Europe | Rush Limbaugh | iHeartRadio




Theresa May and her husband tried unsuccessfully for years to have children, and have recently come to terms with the fact they shan't have any of their own.


Theresa May reveals heartbreaking struggle to have children which 'affected' both her and husband - Mirror Online




Emmanuel Macron married Brigitte Macron (former Madame Brigitte Auzière) after attending classes she taught at his high school, they began a relationship, she divorced her husband and the rest as they say is history. A nearly 24 year age difference between "mari et femme" likely had M. Macron realizing early on his wife's baby making days were over, but unlike Napoleon to Josephine he wasn't going to give her up over that. By all accounts Emmanuel Macron has a wonderful relationship with his three step-children (from Mme. Macron's previous marriage).


During the election campaign some noise was made of Emmanuel Macron's marriage and failure to do that most important (seemingly) thing to all Latin males; breed children. There were also rumors put about regarding EM's manhood (hinting at, well you know), and that otherwise there was something wrong.


It all backfired; Emmanuel Macron campaigned and has become symbol of what marriage and family *is* like in France today, not what some want it to be based on ideals from decades or centuries ago. That is blended families, families of all sorts including civil partnerships, same sex relationships and marriages, cohabitation, and so forth.

Emmanuel Macron and the Modern Family - The New Yorker



Angela Merkel for reasons known only to herself did not have children from her first marriage, and likely was a bit past her baby making time by her second. However by all accounts Frau Merkel gets on well with her adult stepchildren (Joachim Sauer's children from his first marriage).






The following pretty much sums up all this angst and noise over "childless European leaders"


Do childless leaders mean the death of Europe? - MarketWatch


Piece correctly points out all this wailing and moaning is nothing more than a smoke screen for anti-abortion, anti-birth control, racist, anti-immigration and quite frankly misogynist feelings that would see women (in particular white European females) pushed back into the home and turned into breeding machines. This and of course males (again in particular white European) should be pushed back into marrying females based upon bloodlines, youth and other traits tied to fecundity with the goal to breed healthy white children.


By extension all of this also means white European men should not give into their "weaknesses" and marry a woman then breed children. If they then want to sneak off into the bushes or whatever with another man, a woman that used to be or is still partially a man or whatever; long as it is discrete and they keep clear of disease...

Europe is not really in decline so there is no need to find reasons for this apparent decline.

Like Hitler, the greatest gift Mad Cow Merkel has ever given Germany, a nation she has done her utmost to destroy, was to decide not to pass her vile genes along to the next (and what will probably be the last) generation of Germans. Thankfully, her line dies with her.

Rutten, in the Netherlands has never been married and no kids. It's not just the females.

But your right, the European leader don't care to give their countries away as they don't have kids and no idea how it feels to live a country better for their kids and grand kids and therefore, destroying the country doesn't matter to them and the more taxes the people pay the more money the leaders make.
