Turns out that capitalism in decay produces an environment which is actively harmful to human growth and flourishing. Who could have predicted that?
obvious solutions (note, calling them obvious doesn't equal calling them correct) to a problem having problems with themselves does not mean the first problem is not an issue and that other alternatives should not be sought
Just because a white supremacist govt would use child licensure or whatever to do eugenics doesn't mean that the status quo of "anyone anywhere have a kid and do whatever you want to them as long as it isn't explicit abuse (that anyone with an interest can actually prove or stop)" is itself good
It's wild to me that literally raising an entire person is such a monumental task with grave consequences for error but yall are like "nah dude just anybody can do it, hell yeah"
also it's funny how reaction to this opinion imo ends up supporting nuclear family bullshit because you can't imagine a child rearing system that doesn't involve 1-2 parents related to the kid (and you're seemingly accusing me of reaction while upholding this traditionalism)
Anyway whatever i'm going to keep knowing I'm right as almost quite literally every person I know has in some way been traumatized by their parents, whether they were intentionally cruel or not.
im not upholding anything. i agree the nuclear family does a lot of harm towards people, but you're not pushing towards abolishing the nuclear family by going off on some self righteous screed about how horrible yours and others parents are, again trying to control who gets to have children is just going to be used to push eugenics every single time.
i am especially suspicious because the original reddit thread this is about is filled with comments shitting on children and their parents for being poor and "lazy", because the kids arent being raised "right" by the parents, you really dont understand how you're also pushing forward the same kind of reactionary thought?
The abolition of parenthood isn't a reactionary thought though but thanks for thinking that
