- rschiavone 6mo agoNo it doesn't.
- nephihaha 6mo agoStay fearful is the constant message of the mainstream media. I could name dozens of such stories. There is always a story or two in the media at any given time to spark fear and anger and primal instincts. We are encouraged to sleep around, and both workplaces and pop culture discourage having a family by differing means.
- ryanmcbride 6mo agoNah the ruling class still wants poor kids who can grow up into wage slaves and soldiers, that's why they keep making contraceptives and abortions harder to access.
- nephihaha 6mo agoI can get hold of "free" condoms from multiple sources. It is not hard to access contraceptives in much of the developed world except in remote locations.
- ryanmcbride 6mo agoI'm not sure what point you're making. The organizations giving you free condoms are in opposition to the people who are trying to restrict access to contraceptives.
- nephihaha 5mo agoThe people trying to restrict access to contraceptives aren't in power round here, not even remotely.
- vel0city 6mo agoGiven the government trying incredibly hard to ban abortion and the Supreme Court musing they should overturn Griswold I don't their ideas are "do not reproduce".
- nephihaha 6mo agoI don't live in the USA.
- amanaplanacanal 6mo agoNow I'm curious where you are that you are being told not to reproduce.
- NooneAtAll3 6mo agoI think you're several years late with this(?) no reproduction was indeed part of general transhumanism left (individuality doesn't work with parenthood obligations) but now with Europe and US economies on slowdown and with possibility of war looming, "your life for the country, your labor for the economy" starts to get steered/pushed towards by the elites (edit: pun not intended)
- nephihaha 6mo agoWith automation, the masses will have no jobs and the rich will need to stay on top. It is not beneficial for them to have a large angry underclass.
