What do you mean by that?

On a farm children are free labor, in an urban enviornment their an expensive investment, and in an environment with social security people might decide that its a good move not to have children because in theory the goverment should fund their retirement.

I frequently disagree with soil on a lot of things but this is a common reason. I happen to think there are a multitude of factors at play.

What do you mean by that?

Simply that children are too expensive for a luxury and too wasteful for an investment.

I think that misses the whole point.

Children are among the most important investment one can make. without them there is no future. that our society isn't making that investment is a terrible sign.

And this is why you and your like are consigned for the dustbin of history, you are incapable of building anything, all you know is how to steal and consume. Future is for those who build and nurish.

They aren't necessary right now. We can make up the labor shortage with immigrants.

Maybe after 30-40 years.

That is pure Simon LeGree: "use up, and get more".

You all appear to arguing with the troll again. Bashing your skull against a wall would be more likely to make said wall sapient...

Of course, all this does handily illustrate that full materialism is self-annihilating. It is a solipsist creed that cannot value anything beyond the self, the current moment, or the most surface-level forms of gratification. This turns it functionally nihilist.

Which proves, once again, my long-held thesis that the gnostic world-haters who preach pure anti-materialism and the atheist religion-haters who preach pure materialism are in practice very much alike. And similarly doomed by their own terminal flaws.

Sure, check again in 30 years. See which of our ideologies emerges victorious.

Spoilers: it's going to be us again.

not if we don't have children we raise and teach. the survivors will shape the world and if you don't reproduce you don't survive and your ideas and ideals will die out and be left behind as others live on.

Au contraire, we only have to wait for more immigrants to show up looking for a better life.

Maybe some day the demand for new labor will be high enough that raising kids becomes a rational decision. But until then, we will do whatever is necessary.

Are... you advocating for some kind of... voluntary genocide or something where the first world doesn't reproduce and continue into the future and is replaced by immigrants that will reproduce?

Are you seriously supporting the great replacement completely unironically?

 

[posh-goofiness]

... is this actually surprising to you, @Bigking321?

So, genocide is good now?

Oh, and this is the consequence:

A bit, yeah.

It's completely evil and insane.

I'm kinda surprised someone is openly advocating for it instead of just denying that it's happening while quietly pushing policies that encourage it.
