>>2471070I assume you are not defining modernity as "the present", but rather as the oversocialized liberal effeminate globohomo materialist nonsense that has been dominating the "West" since the fall of the great empires about a hundred years ago. The Amish pulled out just prior to modernity, and their birthrates are doing fine. The rest of the world is doing fine without modernity. Of course I can reject modernity, because I reject the premises of pretty much all urbanized, industrialized, materialistic, egalitarian (ie. effeminate) and universalist societies. Societies built on these premises are doomed to fail, so all I have to do is to steer as clear as I can while raising my children to do the same.
