Well that's just a fucking trip of dysfunction.
Just that bit is a lot.
If the population declined and it makes the economy do less well, won't people just have more children like they did the last time the economy was in that state? Every environment has a carrying capacity for the creatures that live in it. It's not uncommon to see fluctuations above and below that equilibrium point.
Instead of pushing people to ignore the factors that cause the limit in humans, like not wanting or needing more children, maybe find a way to organize society so hitting that limit doesn't cause massive problems, or try to eliminate some of the factors creating the limit. It's insanely difficult in our society to have even one child who's healthy, cared for, and prepared for their adult life while also being personally healthy, prepared for old age, and enjoying the variety of pleasures of existence.

So redditors who deeply believe they're superior are breeding? We're in trouble.
I just read their wiki page and it is absolutely filled to the brim with crazy wacky shit.
As a trans woman, this stood out to me. I'm not surprised that they are transphobic, but why make the point about "legit trans" and "trans cult?" I assume they consider "legit trans" to be the tiny percentage of transgender people who are right-wing nuts and the "trans cult" are those who aren't. Basically they're just saying "We only support transgender people who want their faces eaten" which is a strange way of phrasing it since usually transphobes tell all of us to go fuck ourselves, including the dumb ones that support the leopards.
It's probably more like they can't deny the reality of trans people, but they think that it's a very tiny minority and the rest are just cultists.
You see this same fallacy with autism. Why are there "suddenly" more autistic kids? It isn't because vaccines are giving them autism or something like that. It's because doctors know what to look for to diagnose now.
People fall into this same trap with trans people, because 20 years ago it was extremely rare to meet an out trans person. So, now it looks like they're suddenly everywhere! What could be the cause? A trans cult recruiting people?!
No, it's a cultural shift. Damn, people can be stupid sometimes.
That's a really good point. It's not an evident thing from my perspective because being transgender is so normal to me that I don't know if I would have ever even thought about that.
Look up trans medicalist they kind of seem to fit in there.
I know about transmeds, and considering that they think medical transitioning is required, I think it would be weird for a transmed to be against blockers and hrt for kids.
Yeah that's why I said kind of.
They're probably supporters of Blanchardian typology. Now as for why so many people go to bat for a sexologist who doesn't believe in bisexuality I'll never understand
Bla bla managing director bla bla Investor Peter Thiel. OK, I've read enough. Yet another Thiel apprentices.
Absolutely adore this bit from the screenshot:
Sad we have no studies on human children. But thankfully its perfectly reasonable for someone on holiday who's untrained in interpreting big cat behavior to decide whats good for a bunch of animals is good for human kids too.
I let my children eat trash out of dumpsters. I determined it was a good idea after personally observing raccoons while on a park trip.
I encourage everyone to read the entire wiki page as well, and it will make sense why they are the way they are.
Oh good I was worried they would be rich and be doing it for entirely monetary reasons
