Natalist pressure

vendredi 21 juillet 2017 à 02:00

Neoliberalism Has Conned Us into Fighting [global heating] As Individuals. That is because the political philosophy of neoliberalism opposes application of democracy. The idea of democracy is that the many non-rich band together to be more powerful than the rich. The "don't work together" ideology makes the non-rich powerless because each tries to contend, alone, with the rich.

The usual suggested ways to "reduce your footprint" are a distraction, but there is one substantial way to reduce your contribution to greenhouse gas emissions: by not having children.

You can encourage others to have fewer or no children by openly disagreeing with natalist pressure. Social pressure pushes many people to have children, on the blind assumption that children will make their lives delightful and stress-free.
