    The quotes the Guardian decided to highlight are absolutely bonkers: a cavalcade of crypto-objectivist worms and a fucking conservative think tank that blames this on a “decrease of teen pregnancies

    Liberals are truly the handmaidens to the demise of their own world, too ideologically blinkered to realize they’re jumping off a civilizational cliff

    Marx’s theory of inevitable non-reproduction is staring us in the face

      a fucking conservative think tank that blames this on a “decrease of teen pregnancies”

      The think tank talking head seemed to blame it moreso on “choice” than the lack of teen pregnancy. Conservatives assumed that a drop in teen pregnancy would lead to more people getting married by the time they’re 21, having a couple kids by 25, and having a half-dozen+ by the time they’re done reproducing. Instead it lead to them forgoing kids at all or only having one or two their whole life and it’s freaking them out.
