    Having no kids is also great if u want to fuck over the billionaire class. They can’t exploit people if there simply aren’t people left to exploit lol.

      It’s a strange anti-human attitude. We should just go extinct as a species to own the bourgeoisie. I mean, the bourgeoisie needs workers like us, so by that logic, why not just all kill ourselves now to own the bourgeoisie, who will then have no workers left? It’s just such a freaking weird mindset I don’t get how there are 10 people who agree with you.

    Im old and out of the breeding pool, but I’m staunch anti-natalist when society becomes inhospitable or even hostile to future generations. The US has totally bought the ticket to ride to population implosion.

    Although it’s not really that bad. Fertility dropped below 1.6, a number that is notable only because MAGA, white Christian nationalism and big capitalism are freaking out about it. But they’re still bankrolling manosphere influencers, and their followers are entirely repugnant and inelligible.

    Case in point FBI having to inform ICE that the tradwife-minded women interested in them on dating sights actually just want to dox them.

    Fertility of 2.1 is replacement, and in normal times, the US rate is still below that and made up by immigration. But that means whites would have to share their society with non-whites. As first and second generation immigrants work hard, commit fewer crimes (than the general public), take harsher jobs and pay their taxes, I guess they make their white-supremacist neighbors feel insecure.

    Betas are going to be the next Silent Generation, the low-population gen born during the Great Depression, known to be a sad, cautionary lot with lifelong health problems. I do not envy them their future. And that’s even if none of the catastrophic existential risk scenarios manifest in their lifetime.

    (We’re going to run out of water in their lifetime.)

      (Depending on how aggressive the new data center builds are, we might run out of water in my parents’ lifetimes, and I’m in my 40s)

    I am 43 years old I live in a rural town of less than 4000 people. Everybody here is a hard-core Republican needless to say I have to do next to nothing in order to not get anybody pregnant.

    My SIL was on an IUD, like 17 years ago or so. I remember because my nephew is getting his drivers license soon.

    I paid £400 for the snip but save so much not paying a fortune raising children.

    Best investment I have ever made.
