I will never understand anti-natalism, like I understand not wanting kids but I don't understand not wanting kids so much that you go out of your way to be angry that other people are having kids.
I actually read a book about it a few years ago, and the logic is similar to some stuff you see in Buddhism or Schopenhauer about how life is suffering, we're constantly "willing" for things and never satisfied, etc., and so it's immoral to create more life that will then also have to suffer. I couldn't help but feeling, though, that if someone truly believed that in their heart, they would just kill themselves. Otherwise why are you prolonging your own suffering if that's what you think life is?
 
I guess this is "good" and I should be "happy", but I was ready and willing to endure some hard times for the sake of witnessing total China death, pretty disappointing, it's like the India ceasefire all over again
if you want a way to guarantee that you'll make money, find some sucker who just can't resist your "nothing ever happens" gambles, and bet on nothing happening every single time. you will be wealthier than you ever dreamed.

For all the dumb shit she does say here, she isn't wrong that having kids is retardo expensive and offering cash benefits for more kids does not appeal to middle-class families. Unless you're poor and don't care or have a stay-at-home parent or a live-in relative to watch the kids, a cash bonus is never enough money when you look at childcare costs overall - and I'm not even talking about daycare.

The way to make childcare affordable again is to make shit less expensive in general. Trump is trying to do that with his economic re-orientation. Whether it works or not remains to be seen, but the Democrat plan is tax more and money printer go brrrrr, so people are willing to give Trump a whirl. Democrats are also obsessed with daycare. It is critical to socialize young children, but their solution is always the service industry and not to address the underlying issue that kids require some personal sacrifice (i.e. you will not have kids who like you if you and your spouse work full time) and that decades of wanton spending has made the economy shit
 
If you don’t have any Tier 1 or 2 industries, you don’t actually have an economy. Just ask any small ex-mining/factory town how important the GDP of the local restaurants was after the mine closed.
This is the dirtiest secret about the globohomo West and it's the ultimate flaw that will break it.
I would disagree, you can use the morality argument when advocating for votes.

"My side doesn't call for people to be publicly shot, they detest (insert group here), and want to see you dead, etc"
Morality? When the left is always going to shout that anything outside of complete acquiescence to their demands is literally hitler and magnified by every news network?

Fuck them. If your class had a chickenshit that always whined about someone bullying them you'd eventually beat the shit out of them so they would have something to cry about.
I will never understand anti-natalism, like I understand not wanting kids but I don't understand not wanting kids so much that you go out of your way to be angry that other people are having kids. Reddit has done an insane amount of brainrot to the world.

They don't want white people. White people have high standards and are slow to anger, and the goal is to replace enough of them so that their slow anger doesn't amount to anything.
But by that logic should you be upset that all animals are reproducing, shouldn't you be mad that ants and dogs and hell even flies reproduce? Or are those different because they aren't human, but then again humans are animals themselves, and its a biological imperative among all living creatures to reproduce
They think humans are unique in doing damage to the environment and are thus not part of nature. White people moreso as they reshape the planet in their image. Darker people are more innocent because the antinatalists subconsciously think of them as less human.

If the average voter wasn't a selfish, short-sighted consumerist, the admin would probably go through with that. But people are fickle leeches, and trying to accomplish such a feat would result in a total midterm wipeout, and with 24/7 impeachment bullshit there'd be no real chance for any of Trump's agenda to get pushed through. Not to mention, they'd tie everything to Vance and claim voting for him would result in more suffering should he run in 2028.

As much as you would want to do that, 99 percent of people, me included, don't like political violence. You have to realize that politics in the United states is a pendulum, and you want to get as much done as possible while it is on your side before it eventually swings back.

depends on how you raise them and your familial social structure. I have an easier and cheaper time raising my child because my family is less individualistic and grandparents are always willing to babysit. The biggest expense with childcare is paying other adults to watch the baby and make sure they don't die. If your child has special needs or you're trying an alternative form of parenting, you're fucked essentially.

Living like a normal American nuclear family is impossible because of the sheer expense of normal childcare. Ironically, American capitalism as practiced today incentivizes non Western methods of childcare.

As opposed to single moms and single parent gays? Thats not healthy. Look at the black community.
As opposed to Islam? All your precious gays, trannies and womens rights out the window.
The turd world countries are breeding like rabbits and no one is crowing about their birthrates.

The migrant replacement economic theory needs to die faster. Europes tried and America has tried it, it doesn't work. Importing these people create a welfare state. Admitting more people like the South Africans will help the economy more than 1000 aliens who just consume gibs. You can't look me in the eye with a straight face and tell me the alternative is somehow better.

See, people like me don't have this option. My family lives all over the country for simple economic reasons. We went where the jobs were. My only option would be daycare. So you're absolutely right. I do not agree with leftist bullshit saying the nuclear family is le heckin evil evil, but it's not feasible with current economic conditions unless you have a close-knit family or one parent makes enough money for the whole family to live on.

Point is to welfare state until collapse .
Sell your last rights you have for safety.

House market collapse can't come soon enough.

I do love the fact of pork happened more .easier than repairing bridges , roads , telecommunications,pot holes.

I think what I never never really connect with on an emotional level is the whole suffering thing. So your life sucks but the world is entertaining when you really think about it.

It is what it is. Is suffering truly a bad thing?
 
>Treasury Secretary Bessent says the US does not want to decouple from China, but wants to open markets and restore balance:

>"We'll continue trading with China, especially in non-strategic goods, and at lower tariff levels."

No, you dumb fuck. Total. China. Death. Nothing else will do.

China, the nation, and the CCP are two face cockroaches. Their goal is total global conquest. They don't care about good faith agreements. The people and the CCP have shown time and again they have no qualms breaking agreements and doing things underhandedly or illegally. They use their funny money economy to highly subsidize their markets and undercut everyone else. In any market or product category they enter. They only care about the nation and the party (CCP).

I really hate ripping on the chinese in general. Cause there's bound to be a few good ones that are decent people. But a few rotten apples spoil the bunch.

The sooner we decouple from China, the better. I'd rather have everything made at home, but I'll take making things elsewhere. Where the countries making the goods are anti-China and pro TCD.

This is why I like doom, there is no pretence about “man is the real monster” no the real monsters are the demons eating and torturing people and they gotta die.

They think humans are unique in doing damage to the environment and are thus not part of nature. White people moreso as they reshape the planet in their image. Darker people are more innocent because the antinatalists subconsciously think of them as less human
But again that doesn't make sense humans were born on this planet we grew and evolved from it just as every other creature we are as tied to nature as every other animal.
 
Now an F-35 is going to be dropped next.

Here's another great example of how far the media is reaching for Trump optics losses right now.

IndaTariffs (1).webpIndaTariffs (2).webpIndaTariffs (3).webpIndaTariffs (4).webpIndaTariffs (5).webpIndaTariffs (6).webp

These headlines paint a very clear picture: What Trump said is simply not true, the claim that "India offered going down to 0" is incorrect.

So what does that mean?
-Did India actually offer to go down to 10%?
-Did they offer to cut some to 0 but keep others in place?
-Is the Hindi term for 0 different than the English one (indians love to remind me that they invented the 0 concept)

By clicking any of the articles we see this big "but" that the media is referring to without explicitly mentioning: "they haven't officially signed a deal yet".

As if the term "offer" is only an accurate description when we're at the stage of "hardline ink on paper no chance of turning back."

If this qualifies as a "but" in the headline, then basically every headline about any non conclusive event should have a "but" in it.
-Progress being made on inner city kids becoming engineers... but they're not yet.
-Kamala leading in polls, but she hasn't won yet.
-A bunch of people stormed the white house, but nothing really happened.
-Right winger says mean things online, but hasn't done anything yet.
-China offers to be a US alternative, but we all know damn well every country in the region would sooner side with Saruman.
-In this leftist University everyone is accepting of this trans person, but no men seem to be dating them.

I'm so tired of the news.
 
You’re just mad that Trump realized that the secret to peace in the Middle East is ignoring warmongering Israelis/neocons and making business deals with the Arabs so they want to keep us happy for their own financial benefit.
Syria and the KSA have both been pushed by trump to join the Abraham Accords, Syria is seriously negotiating a peace treaty with Israel, and Arab countries looking to diversify are going to invest billions of dollars into Israel, the most economically developed country in the Middle East (technically Qatar is more developed but that all relies on oil) thanks to its high tech industry.

This also doesn't count the 1.2 trillion trump has gotten Qatar to sign for.

and you think I'm mad? I know pointing out how your edaddy has direct ties to a PR firm that lobbies for Qatar upsets you and you're scrambling to cope but come on lmao. I'm excited for Israeli peace with Syria.
