    ITT People begging for infertility in a birth rate crisis. I’ll make up the slack with my kids I guess.

      What crisis? Why is growth better than steady state or contraction under the current circumstances?

      Plagues precede periods of human golden ages. Population booms precede periods of strife. You having lots of children is in no one’s best interests, least of all your existing children.

        I’m a Christian so having children is my prerogative unless I want to become a monk. From a secular perspective antinatalism, hedonism, nihilism are all the death knell of a society. It’s peak decadence and the sign of a culture in decline. To bandaid the problem the government has been piping in as many immigrants as possible. These immigrants have primarily economic motives. Therefore they do not understand nor are they invested in an ideological way in the American project. So if I (or we) want to live in an America that we recognize or aspire to live in we have to be progenitors of the next generation which means having and raising kids.
