All these right wing politicians in the USA complain about the “birth collapse”

while taking money out of our paychecks to fund the genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and cutting social security disability snap Medicaid and other basic needs plus everything going sky high expensive prices of everything getting higher and higher every single year

people being too broke to move out of their parents house because the employers pay crappy wages

Not really a mystery why people are like I don’t want to bring children into this environment

It doesn’t take a genius to recognize I’m barely surviving and having a hard time keeping up with life’s expenses and our taxes go towards bombing people in the Middle East instead of our basic needs

Not to mention with ai already replacing peoples jobs

Birthing children in this type of situation is nothing but a cruel sentence

It is also legal for people to produce AI generated child porn and carry Nazi swastika flags

A federal judge in the United States just recently decided that creating AI child porn is legal

So no legality doesn’t decide morality or ethics whatsoever

There been multiple horrible things in history that have been legal I only listed stuff that is currently legal in the United States

Regardless of the legal status of circumcision we condemn circumcision as nothing more than legalized child abuse

Virtually my entire life I honest to god thought every baby boy was born circumcised because I literally knew nothing about circumcision

I just thought that the circumcised penis was just the natural state of being a boy or a man

The school system my parents and society kept all that information away from me

The only sex education high school students had was watching porn

Society the education system and our parents did such a good job of suppressing knowledge about circumcision that a lot of us had absolutely no idea we were circumcised as infants until our late twenties early thirties

At least the Muslim and Jewish groups are openly like yes we circumcised you and here is why at least they are willing to have an actual debate they don’t keep that information away from their child

Whereas Christians and atheists basically keep it a secret from you your entire childhood

Any parental rights bill that is proposed should actively be opposed because such bills are a license for child abuse

Such bills actively harm the wellbeing of children by making the false assumption that parents always have their child’s best interest at heart

Giving parents rights means taking away the rights of children because every “parental rights” bill always takes away rights from children

If the “parental rights” ideology was taken to its logical conclusion then child protective services would get abolished as a government agency

Any government that is serious about protecting children should pass laws unequivocally stating that parents don’t have rights and is only a privilege granted by the government that can be revoked

The “parental rights” argument is used to defend doing medically unnecessary surgeries on infants for religious and cultural purposes

The “parental rights” argument is used to justify inflicting harm on children by justifying parents injuring their children and as a consequence requiring medical attention from said injuries

The “parental rights” argument is used to support denying children medical care

The rights of the child to their own bodies unequivocally outweighs the desires of parents

The Supreme Court precedents on parental rights should absolutely be overturned by congress

The people who endlessly lectured us about how watching porn is “sinful” are the very same people who voted for making a pedophile the president of the United States

The very people who claimed to be all about being “pro life” and “sexual purity” are the same exact people who are the most enthusiastic supporters of a genocidal government that engages in state sponsored rape

The people that endlessly claim to be “anti child mutilation” are the same exact people that are fine with the medical system cutting on the genitals of intersex infants and baby boys

Declining population numbers impose prohibitively expensive costs on governments for going to war because they don’t have an endless supply of people to use as cannon fodder for their wars

People not having children would do more to cripple the war economy than centuries of protests

The military industrial complex will be crippled simply by virtue of not enough people to run that system in the first place

You can have all the high tech weapons in the world but if there’s not enough people to run those weapons systems then they might as well become scrap metal

As a democratic socialist I believe every single person has a right to free housing free food free childcare free healthcare

We unapologetically support having the government give homeless people free housing to live in

Every single person has the right to have their basic needs met regardless of if they work or don’t work and how much or how little they work

These basic rights would apply to everyone regardless of their political beliefs

Whether people would still work or not would be dependent upon how luxurious of a personal lifestyle they want and what they want above and beyond the basics and their religious beliefs

Some people would still be working out of a religious belief that says not working is sinful

As under a democratic socialist government anyone who is satisfied with basic living necessities wouldn’t be required to work at all

Though a lot of people would still work because they would eventually get sick of sitting in their house all day long day after day even if it’s just doing a part time job

“The free market” has never existed and what defenders of capitalism call crony capitalism is in fact the default model of capitalism because there’s not a capitalist system that isn’t ran by corporations

I’m aware people will ask but what about Denmark Norway etc they only got to where they are because of communists and because of socialists organizing and getting politically involved

It’s disingenuous for defenders of capitalism to say that the Nordic countries are capitalist and then call people socialists for wanting to same policies to be implemented in the United States

We work our butts off Cooking tons and tons of food just to end up throwing away tons and tons of food and washing tons of dishes

What’s even the point we’re forced to work overtime just to make a whole bunch of food people aren’t buying just to spend hours of our time throwing away food just to send the dishes through the dish machine

This is the type of bullshit we’re sick of dealing with as food service workers

And on top of that we’re not even allowed to bring the food that will be thrown away home with us according to corporate rules

The people who go around condemning Dolly Parton are the same people who are affiliated with the political party that is defending and covering up for the Epstein billionaire pedophile class

Right wing groups have proudly worn tshirts promoting the execution of pedophiles for years until people pointed out the Donald Trump is a pedophile and that he should be first in line to get executed then all the sudden right wing groups don’t like the idea of executing pedophiles whatsoever

This is one of the things that I noticed about capitalism Is that things people don’t need for absolute basic bare minimum survival is a lot more affordable than things and services people need just to survive and live

Theres a reason why people are able to afford smartphones with unlimited data plans while being unable to afford a house to live in

It’s because under capitalism there’s every incentive to hike up prices on everything people need for basic survival needs

The only items that face downward price pressure are the items people don’t need for basic survival

Infinite economic growth on a planet with limited resources is impossible

People have limited resources and the vast majority of people’s expenses go towards bare minimum survival needs such as paying for food housing water healthcare

Furthermore under capitalism luxuries are affordable while basic life necessities are absurdly expensive

Where is this “infinite economic growth” to pay off the national debt supposed to come from huge portions of the population are too broke to afford dating getting married and having children and are also living with their parents because housing is just way too expensive despite working full time jobs

Instead of companies being required to refund their tariff refunds to customers or the government just mailing tarrif refund checks to everyone who bought any products

The government has just simply wrote large checks to multinational corporations taking money out of poor people’s pockets and redistributing it to millionaires

The tariff refunds are a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich
