    The capitalist class only cares about birthrate for productivity. Don’t blame us for not caring about reduced productivity when most of us get a tiny fraction of the benefits of productivity. Also, what happened to all the shrieking about overpopulation? It’s all just fearmongering to drive people to act in ways to benefit the capitalist class. I’m tired, leave me alone.

      It’s also dumb legacy thinking.

      We’re in the process of creating a labor force that threatens to put the majority of people already existing out of work such that we need to figure out how to restructure society in a post-labor era.

      What the fuck do we need a high birthrate for?
