It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
What's the implied (final) solution to this extremely concerning situation, bucko? 
Hey Siri what's the average cost of raising a child
Hey Siri, what's the minimum wage
I really do mean this non-rhetorically: what do these bazinga chuds propose about his "concerning!!" issue? It sure as shit isn't material aid for women.
Consider that capitalists view workers as, essentially, livestock and you will get your answer (this is also why I believe veganism and socialism are linked)
absolutely, I think a lot of this stems from animal husbandry applied to people
Look out, we got a live one in this thread. If you look at his "both sides" comments and read between the lines, you can see how much he's salivating for that aforementioned livestock. 
The old-school r/cth energy is always at its strongest whenever a conservative dipshit wanders in, lol
Hexbearites are siblings. We will constantly antagonize each other over the dumbest shit but if someone from outside comes after any of us, we unleash our fury as one
Hexbear, setting aside outdoor cat struggle sessions when a stray "both sides" conservative shows up:
the livestock isn't breeding milord 
MORE precarity will fix that. 
straight women are having fewer kids and can't afford the ones they do have
The solution to this is to complain about queer people!
I guess it's comforting that my enemies are braindead and childish?
It's a small measure of comfort but it's at least something.
not many culprits in this thread, but i feel i must bring this up. often leftists (and i will say, especially men) like to point at "material conditions" as more or less the sole reason for declining birthrates. often going as far to imply that the issue would simply go away (i.e. birthrates would return to what they were 100 odd years ago) if the right economic supports existed, or say, under a communist framework. this is not only a myopic view, it's reactionary and essentialises women basically to the right wing view of being broodmares for men. the reality that many leftists still need education on, is that when women are afforded more reproductive rights, and broadly, the freedom to choose their own path in life, they have less kids. this is a material reality. i won't argue that everyone being poorer isn't a factor in falling birthrates, but it is not the only one, and any future revolutionary project will have to grapple with the issue in more realistic and inventive ways than "improve material conditions and birthrates will return!" it's idealist and wildly misogynistic.
I think declining birth rates are fine as long as people are comfortable and happy and therefore they should have improved material conditions anyway.
that's fine, just saying it's something future society will have to plan for and figure out. i don't have all the answers it just grinds my gears when men act like "just pay women and they will go back to having kids" is somehow a woke idea or even holds any water at all. not saying you were doing that, and like i said there are thankfully few culprits in this thread but i still have a bad taste in my mouth from the last couple struggle sessions about this.
I think declining birth rates are fine
Even the chuds implicitly acknowledge this when they mention overpopulation. The only reason they care about birth rates falling is their racism
When people say improve material conditions, I believe most are referring to making birth and raising a child essentially free.
I believe many socialist countries have had state funded childcare, and obviously many have socialized medicine. This allowed women to both work and have children.
Yeah, as women gain more autonomy and reproductive rights, the birthrate will go down, but we should at least make it as easy as possible for those who do want children.
Anecdotally, I know three couples who want to have children, and all of them say they can't because they can't afford it. They all had to move back in with their parents, too. I can't help but feel money plays a major role here because it creates a barrier of entry to those who do want kids.
Then again, anecdotally, to your point, my wife and I can afford children but simply don't want any. We aren't the only ones.
Maybe they should raise the quality of men a little
No hexbear I swear to god I'm not starting another interminable struggle session if the above made you mad go touch grass and hold someone you loves' hands
I think the core of chud dudebro thinking is that they are fine exactly as they are and the entire world must break itself apart to fit their every whim and desire.
The idea that a relationship should begin with a friendship built on mutual trust and respect is anathema to their worldview
They are owed things, they don't think they have to earn anything
They are the main character, and they expect "NPC" helpmeets to cater to senpai's every whim.
Ah, but they do want to raise the quality of men.
Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.
Just make men men again and put an end to the soy menace.
There's a live one in this thread that'd probably take your post completely seriously and tip his fedora gleefully at you.
Dude, you're literally running propaganda for maintaining the economic system that not only makes having children unaffordable but also destroys community, atomises people and makes forming meaningful relationships increasingly difficult.
But sure, it is those feeeeemales who are to blame.
When Elon becomes president (they will change the rules) he will round them up at gunpoint and force them to be government provided girlfriends to incels.
"In a 6-3 decision by the supreme court..."
Whats concerning is this beady eyed fuck's father got a second child with his step daughter that he raised as a toddler. 
They utterly hate each other, and yet basically became the same thing, up to and including the pathologies and preference for specific kinds of vacation plans. 
I would love to be single and childless in 2030. That would mean I get to live independently and carve a life for myself that has meaning on my terms.
Why that concerns a blood-emerald billionaire is irrelevant.
I remember during one of his fake threats to leave the public eye, he said he could be living a luxe life with models and I'm like, go do that, pay the models well for their time and stop getting concerned about the lack of bang maids for racist men who smell like milk.
