MODERATORS
Can I just ask why more babies being born is seen as a moral good? I'm dumbfounded because I've honestly never in fifty years heard this talking point before.
A bunch of white people in the united states are worried about birth rates because immigrant birth rates are high whereas white birth rates are on the decline. They're worried about white people becoming a minority because even though if you asked them they would say no, they know that minorities are treated poorly here.
Yep. It's called "replacement theory" and it's a core belief among racist organizations like Nazis, the Aryan nation and the KKK. It's also talked about constantly on Fox News and other right wing media.
Oh for sure, but the problem is they’re preaching is subtly and if you were’t already on alert that it’s bullshit, it can end up normalizing for some people since it’s not usually framed as “white vs black/brown” but as “ Americans vs enemies”, which sounds a lot less racially charged to mega normies who pay more attention to football and soap operas than they do to politics.
Exactly. They're subtle about it and it needs to be pointed out as much s possible.
A bit outdated examples, try these:
CPAC, RNC, John Birch Society, Heritage Foundation
They're the same picture.
This is also behind the trans panic and concurrent anti-LGBTQ legislation in conservative states.
Sure, they'll package it with scripture and moralizing, but in the end? It's all about fear.
I wish everyone would just fuck everyone once and for all so we're all the same god damned race.
You know damn well they’d find something else to divide us, you just tryna get laid is all 😏
They'll find anything to divide us except haves vs. have-nots. Which is the true division.
You should run on the "everyone needs to fuck everyone " platform
Minorities are treated poorly pretty much everywhere
Yes, I was just alluding to the fact that majorities typically don't like to talk about it.
I'm not white and used IVF. But definitely you are right on the money.
I have heard that there are lot of White people in Europe.
However, many of them are not too keen on moving to USA. For some mysterious reasons. 🤷♂️
