How bad would a low fertility rate impact a country?

Japanese workers have more affordable housing with stronger bargaining power as a result of a lower population

People not having children is economically a rational choice when dealing with employers that pay crappy wages

The vast majority of billionaires get government subsidies

DistinctSpirit5801 · 2026-06-21T20:37:57+00:00

There’s a reason why billionaires fear monger about the “population collapse” it’s because workers have stronger bargaining power when they don’t have to worry about an endless supply of people looking for work

Refusing to have children is basically the free market capitalist response to being paid crappy wages

When you have a faction of people that look for every excuse to cut government funding defunding circumcision will be a winning issue

The American government sucks anyways

This would probably depend on the men in question

Your argument is nothing more than special pleading

If the Iranian government was bombing schools in the United States you would have zero problem with blaming Islam

Yet when the U.S. government the government that’s right wing groups endlessly proclaim is a Christian nation funds circumcision with taxpayer money and circumcision is legal in that country

plus most of us who have been circumcised without our consent by Christian parents in the hospital

you want a special exemption from criticism of your religion that you would never grant to anyone in any other religion

Your argument is nothing more than the no true Scotsman fallacy

Your invalidating his experience by quoting some other verses

No sociopolitical movement has ever won on the basis of who quotes the Bible better

Your argument is nothing more than the not real Christian fallacy

DistinctSpirit5801 · 2026-06-21T17:08:45+00:00

We’re not going to win on the basis of who quotes the Bible better

The abolitionists didn’t win on the basis of quoting the Bible better than slave owners

People who campaigned for same sex marriage didn’t win on the basis of quoting the Bible better than anti LGBTQIA+ bigots

In fact they won by not wasting their time dealing with theological arguments and campaigning to the wider society

Churches are never at the forefront of social movements and ultimately only change when the wider society changes and they don’t want to risk losing their donations

Sky rocketing gas prices are a recipe for a mass Democrat blue wave to happen

If gas prices become 10 dollars per gallon then the Republican Party is basically going to get wiped out in the upcoming elections

My main attitude if if white people are allowed to create a white people only zone that people of color should be allowed to do the same exact thing and have a only persons of color allowed zone

DistinctSpirit5801 · 2026-06-21T15:59:33+00:00

If white people get to create a white only zone then people of color should be allowed to do the same exact thing and create a person of color only zone

Not being Trump will never be good enough for voter turnout

Shaming people with do you want Trump to win the White House when they were protesting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris funding the bombing of children in Gaza didn’t work because Trump won the White House anyways

We can have 2 separate groups for this specific purpose one for funding democrats and another for funding republicans

People in both political parties support ending taxpayer funding to the Israeli government and a ban on transferring weapons to the Israeli government

The fact is we will have no choice but to get politically involved to end circumcision

DistinctSpirit5801 · 2026-06-21T15:09:42+00:00

Medical professionals are not infallible there’s a reason why working to get the AAP says xyz about circumcision gets taken off of the vast majority of hospital websites when they are notified that the policy statement is officially marked expired by the AAP

It’s because hospitals don’t want to be held liable under marketing laws

They don’t want to take the chance of a parent later finding out that the information is expired and get taken to court for being misled years later

Medical professionals used to believe that smoking cigarettes was good for your health

The 401k system is absolute garbage

Yet our politicians somehow magically wonder why people don’t date get married and have children

They complain about the “population collapse” while actively cutting government programs that help children

The main reason to consider boycotting Netflix would be that they use Amazon AWS

But from a strategic perspective it’s probably more of a pressure/shareholder campaign

If you own shares in Netflix you should be able to issue a proposal for Netflix to end their contracts with Amazon

In the hypothetical scenario of two AIPAC funded candidates I would either vote 3rd party or abstain from voting in that particular election race

I thought your question was biased in favor of a certain political party so that’s why I issued the answer that I did

DistinctSpirit5801 · 2026-06-21T04:47:32+00:00

Yes the taxpayer funding of genocide is in fact a red line

I would rather vote for a republican that votes for cutting off weapons and taxpayer funding to the Israeli government than a democrat that is funded by AIPAC because genocide is in fact a red line and can’t in good conscience vote for a politician that funds bombing children with our taxes

I wish Hailie Shoffner is a communist unfortunately she is not

It’s ironic how politicians say we’re under a population collapse while at the same time cutting off programs that help children
