I was shocked to discover just how many people think bullshit jobs are a myth.

It’s a tough issue to talk about- I see it as a real problem. However it’s been so captured by regressive that most people jump right to arguing that rather than actually thinking.

The birth rate is getting low enough to be a serious problem and some of the reasons are side effects of good changes. However the solution is NOT a reversion to more oppression for women. The solution is NOT walking back education or opportunities for women. The solution is never to reject those good changes.

So what is the answer? Having children is challenging, expensive, and our society does very little to support it. It’s society that needs more children, not individuals what is society offering for that? How is it helping? How is it making children easier, less expensive, more rewarding?

Some countries have been trying without much luck. That tells us we’ll have to put more effort into it, more time. This is an urgent problem both because of the long lifetime of people and that we don’t have much positive leverage

Same, I can’t be bothered to be worried about something that isn’t actually a problem.

Oh no, women are more in control of their life choices?! Yeah I’m not opposed to that.

It's not really about the stress so much as it is about women having control over their own life choices.

Which is what the article says.

We don’t need to solve a problem that isn’t a problem, specifically the falling birth rate.

Let women choose when they have children.

Plus give us all the good community and safety social nets. But not because it’ll make women have more babies, because it’s the right thing to do regardless.

this is why population collapses are surprisngly a good thing for workers after they have subsided because 1. it forces workers to be paid more even a little more since there is less people out there to work and 2. it gives a few workers the insight that Marx was rigjht, you shouldnt let the very rich and the politically connected bbe the ONLY ones who contrrol how much children you have . You should take a hold of your reproductive rights and produce less workers for them if the bourgeoisie make your life and youur loved ones' lives enshittified.

A society owned and ran by the people who do the most work (a dictatorship of the proletariat) is the ultimate andd only goal right now. By ANY means necessary .... 👀
