  Nononono, you don’t get it: looking at the past 4+ governments, I think they want to increase the birth rate of the right people.

  I was so naïve back when had I thought the Labour would be any different from the Tories…

    Theres a world of difference between the Labour and Tories, you're not naive just ignorant.

    If they wanted to increase the birthrate if already wealthy people they wouldn’t remove the 2 child cap for benefits.

  So you want to remove half of the population, like Thanos?

    I mean, Thanos’ plan may have been popular if he used the infinity stones to reward mothers for limiting their children, using societal pressure and other tools to limit populations for a generation.

      Would vote for Thanos

      He just had to convince males to not fuck with their cum active (e.g. doing vasectomy and reverse it as time comes). This would make hormones of women less fucked with, and male people would learn that it is not “she is just being woman”, but realise it was fucking hormone engineering.

      🫣 but how should males learn that in a society where sexual education is shown as evil (like yea, we changed everything on this world and teach our children anything, but o noo please don’t tell them how reproduction works, so they just try something out and are fucked for live)

    Whenever population control is mentioned, this inevitably comes up. No, not looking to “remove” anyone, just prevent more births than the natural environment can handle.

    I want to passivle watch half of them die while not replacing them. Huge difference.

      Isn’t there a book with such a story that they investigate some dangerous bomb thingy that turns out to just make about half the population not able to have babies?

      I think they made a movie which sucks out of it

      I think it is the same writer as has written davinci code

    2/3. gives you an extra generation before things are back where they were

      Or just limit1 baby per couple, same effect. Population halves every life cycle

        if memory serves, last time that was attempted it did not work.

        Better ensure perfect women/men equality before doing that, otherwise it leads to a big gender disbalance and high infanticide rate for girls, as was demonstrated in China.
