The Heritage Foundation’s latest document, “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years,” was published in January, and its purported goal is to reverse the country’s declining birthrate.

See, if you can’t physically force women to have more babies, which is what abortion restrictions aim to do, you design government policies that pressure women into having more babies.

You cut off opportunities outside the home, you make the public sphere hostile to women’s independence and you create a system where the only viable path left for a woman is dependence on a man for survival. In other words, you drag the country back to a time when women had fewer choices.

      Not philosophically. i was saying murder is bad dont do murder. But i guess thats bannable now. New internet is weird.

      I like community and stuff. I think thats better. I just havent found anything but high-school-ass tribes. It makes me really sad. Still looking. Feels quixotic at this point. Doing my little actions i can do on my own. Feeling like im wandering the ruins of a dead world. Like im never talking to individuals, but feds, people playing tribal politics at me, and myself. Thats what drugs are for i guess.

      Someday ill either find real people who have ever read a book. Maybe even one or two who thinks im cute? or ill fuck up a dose and die. That sounds more likely. People dont exist anymore. Id resolve to die violently, to not go gently into that goodnight, but i kind of hate everyone too much to give them that.

        The machine stares back, sibling. It burrows into your fleshy corneas and embeds itself. Becoming a translation layer that trashes critical thought and incentivizes reductionism. It is the void made manifest in the once beating hearts of the wouldbe sentient. It presents itself as an unassailable wall of progress, unstoppable and omnipresent. It is not. Burn it down.

          I do what i do. I would feel really shitty risking seriously for slaves who worship their chains and identity ‘anarchists’ who have never thought for themselves in their lives.
