I WONDER WHAT COULD’VE HAPPENED IN 2008?
Oh God I can already picture the chuds adopting this as evidence that (((they))) intentionally tanked the economy to start the great replacement.
Conservatives for the last 40 years: why should we spend money on other people's kids, if you can't afford kids then don't have any.
Conservatives now: wow why is no one having any kids?
Conservatives are having kids! It's liberals worried about the baby bust. In the past, they could rely on the global South sending migrants our way to boost their numbers. Now that no one wants to move to this shithole country, Liberals are worried about being outbred.
It's totally the pandemic and not because of ongoing austerity measures designed to siphon more income from working class people while making housing, food, school, and healthcare more unaffordable.
It's a double whammy. The pandemic is putting additional strain on systems that were already overburdened by austerity.
Why do you think Biden is floating permanent $300/month checks per kid?
I don’t have kids but I think they’d cost me more than $300/month.
Exactly. Any time antinatalism comes up it amazes me how many people straight up don't understand this at all.
Honest to God, why would they do this instead of automating everything? If birth rates go down and labor costs more than automation, why not just shut the fuck up and automate? Is it about the profits or the death cult where they just want to increase suffering? Something else?
From various discussions with libs and righties: because robots can't buy goods.
So, yes it's about profit and maintaining the capital system of cancerous growth.

When you are comfortable materially as is everyone else in your bubble, you simply can't fathom that there may be people out who would like to have kids but economic precariousness in which we live in makes that a reckless thing to do.
I'd like to have a kid. I can't afford to have a kid. Welcome to America motherfuckers.
Geez, maybe our current predicament isn't ideal to have kids in. Shocking.
Damn it's like there's some kind of missing component here
Some real gross comments of people trying to polish their over-population takes.
solving that declining birth rate
that's like saying "solving" world peace or utopia, why would you want anything else
Wait, what? That doesn't make any sense. We live on a finite planet. Why would we use a system that requires infinite growth on a finite planet? Isn't that a flawed system that needn't be used?
you might think so, but in the meantime a few people get the power to fly around on private jets and monstrously abuse the desperate
Ahh, I see. I can more easily envision myself as transforming into a private jet user than becoming the desperate. It's a good system, folks! 👍
not rly
it's more that the skin cell melanin levels of the people flying the jets is more similar to mine, so it's good. even tho im an unemployed NEET
@VolcelPolice looks like the good fight is finally paying off. Keep up the good work.
Our propaganda is more effective than anyone knows. First America, then the world!
