    I don’t know what you mean by eugenics axe, but I was not talking about any kind of intervention, rather the opposite, let just not panic over ageing and just try to find a way for the economy to adapt to it.

    you can say what you want, but humanity has multiplied and the planet resources are limited. So the current plan of keep multiplying doesn’t seem reasonable. For as much effort anyone does to not pollute, having kids is by far the biggest pollution source.

    Also is not like being many humans is lowering the power gap, rich people just have more people to abuse.

    To finish my point, I’m European, and unlike America, here the mid/high class are not ultra Catholic having tenths of kids, so my perspective could be a bit different than yours. There is not a clear correlation between wealth and kids, if anything inverse.

      No. But then you’re not the one setting these policies, just kinda observing their consequences from a limited vantage point.

      let just not panic over ageing

      This isn’t a panic over aging so much as a malaise over having kids. Exorbitant rents, depressed wages, and suffocating inflation - particularly in health care and education - make children cost prohibitive.

      Consequently, policy makers (largely past the baby making age) are resorting to increasingly draconian methods decide who gets to procreate and to what degree.

      “White Replacement Theory” dominating public political discussions can only end in widespread social murder.

      humanity has multiplied and the planet resources are limited

      The resources aren’t being used equitably. Ergo, “humanity” isn’t to blame in the aggregate.

      I’m European, and unlike America, here the mid/high class are not ultra Catholic having tenths of kids

      Bro, I’m an American Catholic with exactly one sibling.

      Deranged beliefs like this are exactly what end in genocide.

        dude you’re tripping. And again, in American context might make sense, but I’m telling you, American social reality is not the only one. And American society, you Catholic specially, are the most preachy and “get involved in people’s life” of them all. In most European countries we don’t give a fuck about what our neighbours are doing, unlike you guys that keep exporting your morals to anyone around you and their dog, so don’t you give me lessons about interventionism.

        But let’s be real, talking with Americans, specially Catholic, is useless… you guys chose trump… TWICE!
