It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

always difficult to tell from a tweet if people are doing great replacement bits, but countries having very old populations and not enough young people to care for them due to dropping birth rates is going to be a serious problem and I don't understand why people aren't more scared of it.
Having a big surplus of young people to care for the elderly is just another luxury of the old world that we will have to give up. I certainly don’t want anyone having kids just so they can wipe my ass later on. I guess what I mean to say is that I don’t feel entitled to it and I don’t think anyone else should either.
that's a very bleak view you hold
people are entitled to a long safe and happy life, I've no doubt there's a time coming where that gets less and and less possible for more and more people, but that's a thing I believe with my heart and giving up on it is not an option
I feel giving up on it should be considered if you care about the future generations that are going to be brought into this burning house we call an ecosystem.
I mean fighting for a better world is great and all, but that doesn’t necessitate dragging another soul into existence to experience a declining, dying world.
Call me an edgelord and a doomer all you want. We all know we’re not going to adequately deal with this as a species. Not anytime soon.
libertarian moment
I agree that old people should be cared for lol.
I just don’t think it’s a valid reason to keep a high birthrate. If we can’t figure out how to care for old people more efficiently with a smaller population of young people, then we kind of deserve to get steamrolled by ecological collapse.
