"How do you define "shortly after"? Gen X? Boomer? Or both?"
Mostly Boomer, though if some who had experienced WWII
reproduced late enough it could extend into Gen X.
"How would you describe the conditions today?"
Even worse. At least children during the Counterculture era,
while subjected to violent rearing, had inspiring pop culture as
a retreat. Today's pop culture cannot do this, as it itself is a
product of post-Counterculture conditions. This is why I
consider it important to introduce Counterculture-era works to
new generations.

"had inspiring pop culture as a retreat. Today's pop culture

conditions"
It is no coincidence that most of the games in the 2000s were
FPS games (reflecting the neoconservative warmongering of the
era). On the other hand, at least Nintendo games, although 3d,
still retained some of the "childlike" traits from the games of
the counterculture.
For me, video games were not a way to escape rearing, but rather
compulsory schooling (although, as you mentioned earlier, this
was mostly due to Western laws). During my teen years, I was
able to evade schooling somewhat by flunking/taking a gap year,
which is how I was able to discover Aryanism. But by then my
original nobility had already been destroyed somewhat as I had
gained a high libido, making it difficult to do activism (for
obvious reasons).
Now after getting a job, my nobility is deteriorating even more,
as I have to interact with more people every day, even though
they may are ignoble. And the worst part is, I find myself
softening up on things like compulsory schooling, as it is
impossible to have a child (although I don't want to reproduce,
but that is another question) without sending them to school
(meaning I have implicitly accepted Western laws).

How did this happen?? Is your job education-related?

"How did this happen??"
My job is a technical profession, which requires a post
secondary degree. But a degree requires 13 years of primary and
secondary schooling. So I am indirectly "indebted" to compulsory
schooling in a way. Schooling also conditions you for the
corporate life (5 days a week work, "freedom" on the weekend),
so I have to soften up my stance toward compulsory schooling as
a way to accept my corporate life.
Also, you mentioned you support a one child policy for "non
Whites". But those children are being sent to school, probably
against their will, and I cannot do anything about it. Their
parents seem to not care either.

I saw many tweets "scarcity mindset" and how it relates to
"Asian parenting". You are correct that peacetime parents are
generally content with their current standard of living.
However, not all is well during peacetime: for example, in post
WW2 India, there was a high TFR, combined with food insecurity.
However, those that lived frugally (for example my mom's
paternal grandmother, who was by no coincidence an ectomorph)
were able to make ends meet and felt no compulsion to use child
rearing. On the other hand , those who did not live frugally
would have felt the pressure.

"So I am indirectly "indebted" to compulsory schooling in a

Are you saying that the money you are earning now is worth the
time stolen from your childhood? If you were offered a chance to
give up all your earnings to buy back your childhood time, would
you turn down the offer?
"you mentioned you support a one child policy for "non Whites".

their will, and I cannot do anything about it."
Of course I do not support compulsory schooling for any children
(including children with "white" parents, by the way). But to
have any chance of ending it, we need Western civilization
weakened enough first, including via the Great Replacement. But
if "non-whites" decrease as fast as "whites", the ratios would
remain unchanged and thus the Great Replacement would not be
proceeding.

Definitely not. On another note, I noticed that those who use
"child rearing" (such as the relative I mentioned earlier) often
force their offspring to do everyday tasks independently (from
brushing teeth, all the way up to cooking food! (Wtf are their
parents doing)). The offspring often end up picking up
adulterated behavior (such as overtalking, gossipping) from
their parents in turn.

Continuing from the previous post, I've always found children
adopting adult mannerism cringe worthy, unlike Westerners.

"Definitely not."
Then there should be no problem. Just because you are using your
qualifications to earn money now does not mean you have to feel
indebted. Similarly, if a guy with a chainsaw attacked you and
cut off both your legs, and then you got prosthetic legs,
relearned to walk and then got a job (which you could not have
gotten had you never been amputated) teaching other people with
prosthetic legs to walk, you do not have to feel indebted to the
chainsaw guy.
"force their offspring to do everyday tasks independently (from
brushing teeth"
This is an oxymoron. Either they are forcing their offspring to
brush teeth (ie. not letting them leave until they have done
so), which is by definition not independent, or they are
expecting their offspring to brush teeth independently (ie. not
watching them do so), which is by definition not forcing them
(since the offspring can choose not to brush teeth and the
parent will not know). Which do you mean?
"cooking food! (Wtf are their parents doing)"
If I had been allowed to cook my own food earlier, I would
surely have become vegan earlier.

Expecting.
"If I had been allowed to cook my own food, I would surely have

Fair enough. My point about brushing teeth still stands though,
along with other tasks.
