Elon Musk (father of 11) supports their cause. Thousands follow their ideology. Malcolm and Simone Collins are on a mission to make it easier for everyone to have multiple children. But are they really model parents?
The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.
@fuckingkangaroos Guillotines, confiscatory taxation, whatever it takes to deconcentrate wealth and force investment in technology, education, and infrastructure (incl. regulation) that has some hope of getting us smoothly past the climate, ecological, and social crises we have brought upon ourselves.
I’m on board with anything that works but I don’t expect that the relatively rich will allow any solution that ultimately requires them take out their own trash or cook their own meals.
This is largely because the relatively rich are a lot more of “our” people than we want to admit in the West. In a hypothetically egalitarian world where everyone lives at the same economic level, a solid quarter or so of Americans would need to accept less affluence. All of the greedhead strivers we’ve cultivated for decades would need to accept aiming lower.
I don’t buy it. Never happening. We’re going to get a worse fate, chaotically.
