I think the connection they're going for is this is the kind of hair brained distopian bullshit that eventually comes trying to achieve "infinite growth"in a finite world.

capitalism, or at least the flavour we enjoy in “the west”, needs continued increases in profit and growth or baby Jesus will cry or something.

The easiest way to do that is by increasing population. Most of the countries that have actually benefited from capitalism over the last 80 years are now seeing declining populations (or at least working populations) as the desperation to funnel wealth upwards makes the idea of starting a family unpalatable.

This is why “wealthy” capitalist counties are all importing migrants at unprecedented rates. However this upsets the nationalism that goes hand in hand with exploitative capitalism as they don’t want to “lose their country” to the very people propping it up.

The next logical step is brain dead baby makers.

It's a lemmy thing.

Capitalism is when bad things happen. Don't you know that self-serving hierarchies never formed under any other system?

Honestly main unethical part is that there are the alternatives "making it cheaper to raise children" or "needing less households where both parents have to work full-time" yet we debate this.

Yes, they're called axlotl tanks.

IVF helps a subset of the folks that this would help; not everybody has a spare uterus lying around.

This guy gets it.
