    In America if you get anywhere near the sacred pool, the dear leader will order your arrest and convict you of sabotage without any evidence. Also in America dear leader survives many REAL assassination attempts, and if you say otherwise you will be under constant surveillance by the government.




  • Yes that’s true, we see in developed countries where women get education and choice a lot of them decide not to have children. I am from the EU and even here me and my whife feel a lot of pressure from society to have children, it makes me quite angry, cause I am sure a lot of people end up giving into the pressure and having kids cause “It’s the thing to do” and not because they truly want to, I have seen it with my friends, we are all on our 30s. This pressure made me think even more about why would I want to have a kid, I have thought about a lot, and let me tell you, the future doesn’t seem to be favourable, plus, I have a genetic disorder that might get passed down to a kid.


  • I do not wish to make you feel bad, I actually love children and that is one of the reasons why I support what I do. Overpopulation is a real issue, If we want the future generation to have a chance we shouldn’t be having a lot of kids. We are already 8 billions, see the demographics studies, things start to go real bad after we surpass 10 billion humans. Also, think about it, the Right always want us to have more kids, so they can exploit them as they please. If future generations are less numerous, they would have the power to decide who they want to sell their labour to, instead of competing against each other for a minimum wage slave job. See the theory of reserve workers by Marx


  • You are preaching to the priest, I am a socialist and fully support women’s rights. Billionaires shouldn’t exit period. But the fact of the matter is that feeding billions of people takes a toll on our planet, if you truly care about people you should recognize that we have surpassed our limits, 8 billions and counting is not sustainable for our planet, it would only lead to resource depletion and suffering. I know it’s hard to admit, cause there is a strong biological drive on us to have children, but the responsible choice is not to have, it is the more racional and compassionate choice








  • Some things are meat to be time consuming and hard. You cannot hurry things like learning or maturity, our current world has convince us that faster is always better, but that is not always the case. I always volunteer for voting counting and despite the fact that it takes from 7am to 10 pm on a Sunday I enjoy doing it, you feel like you are part of the cogs of democracy, doing your part to ensure the democracy works as intended, like you take part In something greater than yourself, you set aside your political filiation and do your part


  • I agree, I live in a country that still uses papel ballouts (Portugal if you’re curious) and on election day representatives from.diferent parties, volunteers, and government officials count the votes by hand, the whole process is bureaucratic, time consuming, and incredibly complex, but that’s exactly what makes it almost foll proof, there is no way you can alter votes in a meaningful way without a lot of people noticing, and even if by some miracle you did, the very next day all the votes get re counted in front of a judge and other set of volunteers chosen randomly.
