Not quite sure what kind of weirdo is against both fertility treatments and childlessness as well as dog parks. Not one I want to hold power for sure.

    It is such a handmaid’s tale view of the world, that all of society should be ordered around producing children. Dogs are bad because they become substitute children and distract us from having human children. IVF is bad because it gives people the option to delay having children. Contraception is bad, because duh no children. Every policy or institution or thing of any kind in society is judged solely on its impact of generating more children as often as possible.

    I just can’t get my head around what is motivating this world view. I usually try to make it a point of understanding where the other side is coming from, but Waltz is right, these people are just weird.

      What else, $$$$, They want as many kids as possible especially in households that can’t support them as it leads to more poorly educated laborers and consumers to take advantage of in the future.

      I’m pretty sure that white supremacist ideals for maintaining a white majority in the US has more than a little bit to do with this. It’s gross.

      I mean it isn’t exactly hard to see their intention: they need more meat for the meat grinder. More poor workers to exploit and more soldiers for the army. More uneducated people to manipulate into voting to ensure they remain in power. Especially since their inherent racism means they want to cut immigration - and they gotta get these resources from somewhere.
