    Positive eugenics (i.e. encouraging reproduction among certain groups) is still eugenics. It isn’t just about preventing “undesirable” groups from reproducing.

      Broad strokes & bad wording. I’m mainly pointing that bad wording comment at the title, and the author. It’s obviously not a problem of figuring out how to breed, it’s just that men are looking at divorce rates, divorce courts, alimony, child support, etc & they’re saying, “Yeah…fuck all that, I want nothing to do with that.” Enough of the smart, smarter ones aren’t producing children. Technically you could say “that’s a big problem for the country”.

      Hence…they need help/incentive to decide to pump out babies. A one-time $5K baby bonus is on the table, which to his credit as the author points out, is nothing. A one-time $5K payment isn’t going to flip the switch for men.

      Now Hungary is offering tax exemption for life, for women that have 4 or more kids. Again, there seems to be no mention of the men, I guess they can go fuck themselves…but all I’m saying is now there’s an incentive!! At least for the women. Fuck taxes.

        Yeah, see pregnancy can kill women. It fucks their whole bodies up, more children makes them more fucked up. Guys just cum and it’s over.

        Fuck taxes on the poor.

        Fuck taxes.

        Taxes are what enable countries to make parenthood affordable for everyone, and provide healthcare and education for all the children. “Fuck taxes” is shortsighted.

        Two questions:

        1. “it’s just that men are looking at…” Do you have any evidence that men in general are doing that? Or specifically “smarter” ones?

        2. Why do you need a specific reason to not be in a relationship, as opposed to a reason to be in one?

    The one thing about a low replacement rate that brings me comfort is knowing that the very material realities of our world agonize white supremacists every second of every day.
