this was an interesting line of thought yesterday its strictly true but also not in a broader sense ie i dont see any positive discussion of family outside of trad discourse very easy for left or center to present an alternative vision in theory no? https://twitter.com/default_friend/status/1320606998770053123 …

if my interest is "i want to have a bunch of happy children" i dont really see this aim represented in cultural discourse outside of "trad" clusters somehow defined

my hunch is that this probably just leads to people with interest in families just kind of sliding right independent of anything else because most of the people interested in this are trad-identifying

so you end up with kind of a self-reinforcing dynamic and eventually yes in fact having a family is de facto trad because everyone whos into it ends up clustering right and left people start seeing families as a sign of the Outgroup

Replying to @eigenrobot
The more worrisome model, which has some empirical support, is that having a family retreats from being a plausible aspiration for most of society to a class marker for top 20% or so. Unlike most class markers, presence/absence directly perpetuates, in most literal way possible.
