Towards a Leftist Antinatalism

you understand how hard it was to ACTUALLY get a divorce in Anglo protestant countries up until recently? it was a difficult ordeal all the way up into the Reagan adminstration when he finally let people get no fault divorces

I'm riding the Bart rn but you can pull up fertility rates of countries very easily and it is a perfect correlation to women's liberation and feminism and access to abortion I assure you it's not a hunch

there are plenty of opportunities it's arguably never been easier. i don't buy that argument not for a second. the birth rates are pretty much a consequence of the destruction of the patriarchy and women's liberation. women no longer need to have children and are no longer compelled or forced to. therefore they do not.

Bullshit. Maybe in absolute material terms we've never been wealthier or something (I honestly doubt it), but providing your child with everything required by modern society, while also having enough free time to take care of their emotional needs, that's never been harder. You can't do it.

I hope you've all realised that boonposter is actually a communist but has continued with this persona for fun and so that we can practice arguing with nazis online. Boonposter is a good guy, be thankful for him and his shitposting.

Good, we should be pumping as much money as we can into designer babies, cloning and artificial wombs anyway. Death to biology.

WRONG! ABSOLUTELY FUCKING WRONG!
Porky thinks a massive nationalist movement mobbing immigrants is awesome. Better that societies dupes target immigrants than porky with legitimate economic grievances. Porky has been using ethnonationalists to entrench the ruling class into their place at the top of the power heirarchy since time immemorial. What do you think the inquisition and German fascism was about? It wasn't about the Pope and Hitler being ideological zealots. It was porky giving them a slush fund to use their talent distracting dupes while porky used their public treasuries to increase their profits while decreasing their risks.

If you were poor? Pretty difficult. If you were rich? Historically, not very difficult at all. When Marx and Engels made reference to prostitution and marriage, they were being very literal at the time. It was common practice for "shopkeepers" to prostitute their wives to acquire side income even against their will as they were unable to leave the relationship in any capacity. Even well-off families had their wives engage in prostitution so supplement the family income.
