my point was it doesn't have to do with population as much as it has to do with capitalistic demand and monopoly/cartel dynamics

more population means more artists and artistry, which means more concerts, but please go ahead and make this about "overpopulation"

i've been gone for a few months and the change and seeing liberals getting dunked everywhere i go is absolutely hilarious. i can't believe there are still folks like this in 2023

if people weren't aware, raising children is used as a political strategy of fascism historically and presently. look up the "quiver full movement"

whereas on the left there are tons of people that refuse to have children, maybe because it's a hell world especially for intentionally marginalized folks (who are of course disproportionately leftists). or maybe they are associating overconsumption and overpopulation propaganda with their individual choices. or maybe they hate the institution of marriage and family and it's state construction too much. idk

but then, there are literally people who hate children?? and they're moreso on the left. okay good luck with hating a defenseless and innocent little being i'm sure that'll bring more unity to our struggle

point is, the right has a concerted strategy on social reproduction. the left does not, and even sabotages it. the working class is alienated from their own determination of social reproduction. this is a key material concern that has divided along class lines through raw numbers.

I feel as leftists we need to be much more accommodating to familial struggle. I don't feel stable to have family either, so to me helping create power to benefit working families is a crucial tactic, regardless if I ever have one myself. we need to be in control of our social reproduction because it's literally an act of survival, and the people who want to end us know that as well.

fixed

this is frequently true, however I know of a private agency that hires former prisoners. unfortunately a lot of these former prisoners are neo-nazis, and that seems to be tolerated

because prisoners forced to be hotshots (frontline wildland firefighters, one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, with minimal training and single shifts that can last for literal days) get paid like $3/hour so of course they're not slaves

i mean mckinley jackson his grandson ben harrison, monroe, and teddy all got years to do that at the highest command position of the us colonial state

i meant hes best as a us president bc he achieved nothing as a president. if we were talking about US governors, WH Harrison would definitely be one of the worst

really hard to say who's worse. but prob the best president was WH Harrison because he died a month into office

oh we doin whataboutisms??

• like the US doesn't indefinitely hold Muslims as supposed terrorists

• like the US doesn't indefinitely hold asylum seekers, with their children separated, as supposed narcotrafficantes

• like the US doesn't have state laws purposely profiling people based on skin color to excuse traffic stops and arrests

• like the US didn't devote their entire socioeconomic foundation on racial segregation programs and residential schools and women being property and forced sterilizations and criminalizing sexuality and mental health well past the founding of the Communist Party of China (and still do in more subtle ways)

• like the US didn't conduct state terrorism on Black people, leftists, lgbtqia, Japanese, feminists, environmentalists... up to concentration camps, assassinations, bombing of entire apartment complexes
