Capitalist: Guess she should have: not gotten pregnant, taken out loans to get a degree so she can be a CEO, lived like a hermit to afford to school, etc.
The same people saying she shouldn't have gotten pregnant also whine about population decline.
The same ones refusing to help out parents succeed, or even allow already-born children to feed/clothe/educate/immunize. I wouldn't put it past them to want to see babies dying so they can gloat about only the strongest needing to survive or some inhumane shit like that. It's always the same assholes.
*~~work~~ steal hard
As someone who has worked multiple jobs for 4-5 years at once well attending college and not having kids at time. I can confidently say single parents with multiple jobs must be superhuman and demand deep respect.
But also fuck that and no one should have to work multiple jobs. When I had to do it, I had maybe 3 hours a day I was not sleeping to myself and I had to use that time for schoolwork, cooking dinner, washing myself. If I didn't keep telling myself "this will only be temporary until I graduate" I'd probably off myself, because it was fucking horrible. I felt and looked like the walking dead, lost all my friends because I was "unavailable" and the tiny joy I got was beating off strictly for the endorphins to make it another day.
GOP: "why aren't people having more kids?!?"
also GOP: "if you can't afford kids, you shouldn't have had kids!!!!!11"
probably cheaper to buy gucci/balenciaga in this economy than raise children
No probably about it lol that's definitely correct.
To be fair the birth rate is falling in communist countries like Canada too.
Canada, well known communist alt-left shithole of the free world?
Like, Canada on Earth, in reality? The one we live and breath in? That Canada?
i'm so fucking glad i never had kids. congratulations son, this toxic burning fucking dumpster fire of a world will all be yours one day!
I don't have kids, but I work with them. Recently I was with a five year old and we watched a video/song about how the Earth was made. At the end, it mentioned fossil fuels and factory farms, and talked about saving our one and only planet. Fantastic message. But then the kid asked me why it said the Earth needs saving, and I wasn't prepared for that conversation.
On the one hand, it is my job to teach him, and he's going to need to know about global climate change someday. On the other hand, he's five, and I'm not sure he's emotionally ready for that topic. I boiled it down to something like "people are doing things that are harming the planet, and the song is saying that it's bad." He didn't push more, thank goodness. It was the most child-friendly way I could think of to address such a terrifying situation without actually terrifying him.
i can't imagine trying to explain how a child rapist is actively destroying the world a kid is supposed to grow up in to a kid, and people actually support that
kudos

By definition, if you want power in capitalism, you need to possess capital.
Oh I see the problem. Too much avocado toast.
Gotta not have a moral failing, like a husband that drops dead. This is how we know billionaires are highly moral; they rich. /s
Edit: To make clear I am being sarcastic.
"Well I know you're not rich. Dang, you must be one lazy sonovagun."
For all the goobers who aren't rich themselves but still say stuff like this
"In capitalism you just gotta work hard to get rich"
Hm. Well, here's my rebuttal:
