No you are doing the other thing. The strawman that this dipshit Dean Spears is presenting that the only other alternative is "woke" anti-natalism. You seriously need to read the rest of the comments in this thread. You not having kids is not going to help anyone that wants to have kids. Individualist liberal bullshit is not the answer AT ALL. Not having kids is nothing revolutionary it's just a personal choice or should be if everyone was allowed to make that choice based on adequate material conditions. You are the one missing the fucking point.

Doesn't that increase your use of glass? Checkmate tankie.

Get a load of this guy in here basically regurgitating the shit we are dunking on.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

leave it there.

No I think you should engage with the other posts in this threads that already explained why your thinking is flawed. You instead chose to avoid them and just regurgitate one of the points already critiqued in the comments here.

It is very far down the list of most impactful things one can do and tying one's intelligence to whether they do or do not have children does not sit well with me for a number of reasons.

I beg you to actually try to have a grasp on material conditions and societal coercion before you talk about things you clearly do not understand.

This is bullshit individualism. The smartest and most impactful thing an average person can do right now is engage in revolutionary socialist organizing. Way to completely miss the point of our critique.

You not having a kid is not going to meaningfully impact the massive systemic issues that cause this problem. Your take is just as bad as the guy in this dumb ass op ed.

Still a good angle to try.

Mimosas are fucking great fuck the libs, watering down my cheap champagne so it doesn't taste like spoiled grapes strained through a worn sock is the breakfast booze of the proletariat. Also bloody maries. They can't take those from us because a proper one is too spicy for kkkrackers.

Fergie Chambers

Fergie is sus af. He gave some money to CLN (the org I have been a part of) and my comrade Sungmanitu had a falling out with him and he has done some very very shady shit. Possible fed, definitely dipshit with more money than sense and some sort of white savior complex.

Oh yeah I knew right from the headline and particularly from the second opening paragraph as soon as I read the words "Western countries" it was going to go straight to white genocide bullshit.

You'll never hear these dipshits expressing horror at the actual rapid population decline of, let's say, FUCKING PALESTINE. That's just totally fine they're not really people.

I swear I have seen this exact scenario in some absurd cartoon or some shit. "How do the meteorologists know when and where a storm is hit? Because they are causing them and controlling them with their demonic satellite dishes! That's how!"

Like we are back to fucking witch burning levels of hysterical superstition. We are so cooked lmao.

Dean Spears does not want to alarm you. The co-author of After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People argues that alarmist words such as crisis or urgent will just detract from the cold, hard numbers, which show that in roughly 60 years, the world population could plummet to a size not seen for centuries. Alarmism might also make people tune out, which means they won’t engage with the culturally fraught project of asking people—that is, women—to have more babies.

Recently, in the United States and other Western countries, having or not having children is sometimes framed as a political affiliation: You’re either in league with conservative pronatalists, or you’re making the ultimate personal sacrifice to reduce your carbon footprint. In this episode of Radio Atlantic, Spears makes the case for more people. He discusses the population spike over human history and the coming decline, and how to gingerly move the population discussion beyond politics.

When republicans are using the same exact language along with christian fascism to justify banning abortion your damn right it's political. People also aren't not having children as some sort of noble self sacrifice you dipshit we can't afford to have kids if we want to. If the population does plummet that much in 60 years it would be because you ghouls are killing us, starving us, and destroying the planet.

I fucking hate Dean Spears so much. Someone should throw him in a swamp in the everglades and film him getting ripped apart by alligators.

As liberal critics of the Trump presidency have scrambled for traction since January, one historical analogy seems ubiquitous: “If you want a model for what’s happening to America,” economist Paul Krugman wrote in April, “think of Mao’s Cultural Revolution.” From the New York Times to the Guardian to a slew of Substacks, commentators have presented Donald Trump as the U.S. incarnation of the Great Helmsman.

Like Mao Zedong, these pundits say, Trump is mobilizing an insurrectionary base to destroy bureaucratic and cultural elites, has created a cult of personality in which the leader’s will overrides all else, and is brutally intolerant of his ideological enemies.

What are we a bunch of Asians?!
