We don’t want to live in poverty and be wage slaves to the elites.
-
The wolves are upset the Sheep won’t Reproduce
-
omg, no more wage slaves, elites panicking 🤣🤣
-
Who cares about "the global economy"? What matters is the wellbeing of people, not some abstract bogeyman.
-
I'm not going to pop out kids "for the economy." They can get bent.
-
Time, people need time to raise children. The 9 to 5 is the problem.
-
The Black Plaque took out a huge amount of people in a short time...yet here we are
-
Mothers are penniless. If a woman can be divorced against her will on no grounds at all, putting her into the poverty and increased labour of single parenthood, motherhood is untenable.
-
Live standards rise when population falls gradually, so I am not worried.
-
One word, Corporatism
-
If the meteor won't come, we might as well help our disappearance along.
-
The population boom was an anomaly. The economy will adjust either way and it's about quality over quantity.
-
Unemployment, low wages and job uncertainty is biggest reason, people are afraid of having children......
-
Life is a major scam. The biggest one there is.
-
I want everyone to look at the impact of the black plague on the workforce, it ended up well for the workers. We have a golden opportunity
-
Again, it's the wolves telling the sheep to having more lambs.
-
The only people I know having kids are the more well off members of my friend group. Those who own their houses and have financial stability. The rest of us are opting out of bringing children into poverty.
-
In Africa theres not enough jobs to go around... Not enough schools. Alot of familys are single parent families so women have to have jobs or starve with their kids. The unemployment in South Africa is 60% its a biiiig problem.

People have lives to live, and not all want to deal with taking on an 18 year inconvenient, often annoying gaol sentence. I got fixed at 19 because I didn't need that pointless garbage in my life. I also like my higher standard of living.

Since WWII, the world's population has tripled. Our earth has never had so many humans living so well. 'Living well' gobbles up the earth's resources at an unprecedented rate and our earth is not coping with our consumption and waste. Earth can provide a high living standard for a small population, or poverty for a large population.
