Yes, sure, and cannibalism solves overpopulation and starvation in one easy step…
Doesn’t make it a good idea.
Eating the rich sure looks tempting
Why make worthless babies when we can use them to manufacture spice?
I’m not sure how this has to do with capitalism
capitalism, or at least the flavour we enjoy in “the west”, needs continued increases in profit and growth or baby Jesus will cry or something.
The easiest way to do that is by increasing population. Most of the countries that have actually benefited from capitalism over the last 80 years are now seeing declining populations (or at least working populations) as the desperation to funnel wealth upwards makes the idea of starting a family unpalatable.
This is why “wealthy” capitalist counties are all importing migrants at unprecedented rates. However this upsets the nationalism that goes hand in hand with exploitative capitalism as they don’t want to “lose their country” to the very people propping it up.
The next logical step is brain dead baby makers.
It’s a weak joke. They should have mentioned selling the womb, which is definitely not implied. Low effort tankie bs
Capitalism is when bad things happen. Don’t you know that self-serving hierarchies never formed under any other system?
It’s a lemmy thing.
Gotcha. Sometimes I forget 😅
I think the connection they’re going for is this is the kind of hair brained distopian bullshit that eventually comes trying to achieve "infinite growth"in a finite world.
Well it’s not like socialist countries don’t need growth to achieve their goals and that growth needs new workers
I can see China inducing comas in Uyghur women and forcing them to be incubators for the billionaires in the Chinese Capitalist Party who don’t want to deal with pregnancy.
If the Chinese do it is double plus ungood but if the west does it, it is by definition, double plus good. Thank you fellow pleb for teaching me this understanding. I’m double plus looking forward to the 2 minutes of hate this morning.
“Double plus” good? What kind of nonsense is this?
It’s Newspeak from Orwell’s 1984:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak#Prefixes
It’s purposefully stupid.
I personally use it to highlight issues on China. It seems to me that, like the Conservative/Liberal Party divide, the The West/China divide is more a “it’s good if my side does it but bad when my opponent does it”.
Use of Newspeak high lights this obserdity by replacing good with good and bad with ungood (i.e. not-good or opposite of good)
It’s not good if anyone does it.
That’s my point though. It isn’t good if anyone does it. Doesn’t matter the country, party of political ideology.
Why be upset at China if we’re doing it as well? At least we have control over our laws, not China’s.
This is part of the plot of Death Stranding. We’re gonna have oil ghosts soon.
Honestly don’t have a problem with this if there was prior consent in a living will. I could see a lot of people willing to sign up for this.
My name is Buck, something something
Yes, Alotl tanks are the endstate of capitalism.
Feels really good to be infertile right about now
Lower the cost of IVF not this buffoonery.
IVF helps a subset of the folks that this would help; not everybody has a spare uterus lying around.
Suggests? They literally did that already.
