You might have heard about this odd thing called ‘paraphiliac infantilism’.
Maybe you don’t know that highly technical phrase in particular, but you probably know what it actually is. Put bluntly, it’s when adults pretend to be babies.
I.e.: Paraphiliac infantilism is when a grown man or woman dresses up and pretends that they are a baby.
I think in the modern lingo, they just call it adult-baby age play. But I’m not exactly “in the know”, so take that with a grain of salt.
These weirdos will do things like suck on a pacifier, have other adults change their diaper, play dress up as a baby, and do other assorted acts you would typically do with/as an infant.
Sometimes it’s a sexual kink and other times it is just platonic. Some of them genuinely just want to be a baby. Kind of like most furries.
Either way, it’s really bizarre. But nothing too surprising given how degenerate our entire society is. I wish this was the worst thing we could complain about. But it’s not. If you don’t believe me, here are some examples of even worse perversions: [1][2][3][4][5][6]
But the fact that this infantilism is even a thing that occurs, is telling about where we are as a people.
For sure, this adult-baby thing is an extreme degeneracy regarding infantilism. But it is not the only one.
Our entire culture is plagued with the same kind of infantilism. Very few of our people want responsibility or to lead lives like a normal adult would’ve had to do 100 years ago.
Instead, almost all of our population wants zero suffering, no struggles, and no challenges in life. They want to coast with others providing for them. But without struggle and independence, there is no personal development. We need hard times to build us. Without them, we stay where we already were.
Which, ironically, is exactly what we are seeing today. A population of adult infants who never grew up.
Maybe the average adult infantile doesn’t dress up and age play like the extreme cases. But they are infected with the same root disease. It’s just not expressed as intently.
Many of our own people desire to return to a time in their lives when all of their necessities were provided for them, free of any work on their part. Hell, many of our own citizens currently live with that being the case through government and NGO services.
These people not only do not want the freedom to lead their own lives—They abhor it. They want an authority that does everything for them. The other people (like us) that seek to “take it away” from them are akin to how a child views someone trying to take away their mom and dad.
It’s wild, but it is a not an insignificant bulk of our population.
I think most of us dissidents realize that when stuff starts to get real bad in the States, a significant chunk of the population is just gonna die off.
But have you ever thought about why that is?
I wager to bet that a significant reason why is because of this infantilism. Our population has become so affluent and averse to struggle that as soon as anything is actually genuinely hit, they’re just gonna lose it. Just like an infant when they aren’t provided with every single basic living necessity.
The leftists are at extreme risk for this in particular. Because they live off of everyone else as a parasite. So if the host is struggling to provide even for itself, the parasite will also starve with it.
But it’s not just them. The gray masses, who most of us endearingly call normies, are also at high risk. They have become so dependent on “the experts”, the resource providers, even the system itself, and so on, that I highly doubt the vast majority of them could function without the same level of infantile protection as the modern world gives them.
We have a nation of infants. Unable to provide for themselves, short-tempered, and incredibly entitled.
With the struggles that are coming, this is a recipe for disaster.
But what we know is that we can prepare for it.
Let the adult babies continue to be adult babies. It just reduces competition for us in the future.
Meanwhile, you get out there, face the struggles, and get your life together. When nature reverts us back to the normal conditions, which it always does, you’ll be one of the very few who make it out on top.

Prescient
You’ve observed a phenomenon that is precise to our era. The mid-life crisis didn’t exist before boomers (a lot of them are great people and it’s not their fault that they were subjected to extreme propaganda). Eternal youth is the goal. Madonna regularly goes through cosmetic surgery to look young. She’s only slightly younger than my mom. Gross.
The lost-boys fantasy is one that’s been actively encouraged in our age. It’s no coincidence that anti-natalism has been statistically correlated with infantalism. You can’t have children if you’re a child yourself. Casey Anthony proved that out. I can only imagine the horror that the older generations have when they see the new reality. Having children was supposed to be a dose of sobriety that forced you to grow up. Now thanks to daycare and all of the other functions, the fun never has to stop.
The way forward isn’t pretty. The gilded age of America that previous generations fought so hard to secure has faded. Victory has defeated us. Now, you see people incapable of dealing with genuine tragedy. I read that 1/3 of women are on antidepressants. The running joke is that 2/3 of them are running around unmedicated. The horrors of reality are calculated to wound us. A lot of our struggles come to us in the form of trying to become things that weren’t communicated to us. How do you become a man? Is it the firm handshake, the first time killing a buck, the white-picket fence house, the status of your 401k? Our fathers taught us this because they were also deceived. I loathe Chuck Palahniuk, but he was right when he said “you’re not your khakis” and “the things you own end up owning you.”
That’s really what infantilism gets to. It’s a desire to go back to a time where things were comfortable. The woes and tragedies of the world were beyond your care and understanding. The problem is, these woes are real, here, and you can’t run away. By attempting it, you make things worse for all of the people around you and your posterity. It’s the solemn duty of man to understand that he must plant trees whose shade he will never sit under. And it’s a duty to take satisfaction in the task.
And I couldn’t agree more! There are many people (but NOT 100 percent of America) who fit the description and characteristics you mention of not wanting to take care of children, acting as if they could return to being kids, or not wanting to prepare themselves if tragedies happen.
And it’s sad and annoying that some people honestly think like this.
