Once you accept what our society is actually built on (the mass rape of children) you can never ever want anything other than it's complete destruction.

When my own father found out I was pregnant he tried to marry me off to a much older male friend of my sisters. Now I realize that my parents made me work with him from age 16 when he was in his 20s. My own parents helped an adult man groom me. Our society is horrible.

holy shit. while i applaud your bravery in telling your story, what happened to was simply disgusting and you did NOT deserve to go through it. my thoughts and prayers go to you and your strength is just... so commendable!

That's fucking garbage 🫂

and what's worse is that it doesn't seem to be rare

beb0.bsky.social•13 days ago

It's not rare. It's extremely normalized in every small town you can imagine.

The country with the biggest demographic crisis is almost certainly China and it’s not really close; though Korea and Japan have been strong contenders. Though is Korea, Japans and US case at least; the solution is much more extra immigration, not less.

jupiterlily.bsky.social•36 days ago

China banned people from having more than one child for a while.

turnerjoy.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yeah, thus the demographic problem

taliabhatt.itch.io•36 days ago

I don't know if those cultures are facing their demographic crisis for the same reason, but I suppose I wouldn't be surprised. I haven't looked beyond the excessively extractive work culture, though.

The effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic played a huge role.

Evangelicals were confused AF because their old sermons about cruising high schools had to go as the Reagan Administration pushed abstinence “education” and VD education.

The culture is only now changing again.

It’s also why a shocking number of states allow CHILD MARRIAGE and all the anti-queer lawmakers and activists screaming about “protecting children” are dead silent about it.

frith.bsky.social•35 days ago

like it’s horrible already, but the extra horribleness is that because children aren’t allowed to break contracts, they cannot get divorced until they’re an adult (or find an adult to act on their behalf somehow)

toadcialism.bsky.social•35 days ago

It's so horrifying and disgusting. Our freaking Amazon packages have more rights than children do in this country!

Control. They want sole control over any harm their children experience. The core of their anger at LGBT existence and feminism is that they see it all as an effort to take away their god given control over their children. Which they see as a transgression against their own power and status

Tge Demographic crisis and plateauing population growth is actually a good thing it's an Indicator we are approaching Ecological Carrying capacity and it's also a sign that we are advancing, but I digress

mayamccullers.bsky.social•35 days ago

Interesting thought I just had- the capitalistic ideal of infinite growth necessarily applies to population growth as well

cantkillme.bsky.social•36 days ago

approaching carrying capacity? well since he wants white birth rates to skyrocket, it’ll mean he needs more space for them to live in. yknow. some sort of living space. I think the Germans in the 30s had a word for this

oozeley.bsky.social•36 days ago

i swear there were attorneys general arguing that they had a right to pregnant teenagers

marissamadness.bsky.social•35 days ago

Do they even realize what they're saying? Because there are less poor, struggling mothers and babies, they are worried about “losing a seat in Congress or qualifying for less federal funding if their populations are reduced”?!
