I always voted left and don't have piercings or tattoos. Nothing wrong with them and many people have really awesome pieces of art.
But just wanted to point out that the left, by definition, is all about diversity and welcoming all flavours of self expression, so trying to box us like that doesn't work so good.
In case it reads weirdly, this was not an attack, just an observation.
dude you're tripping. And again, in American context might make sense, but I'm telling you, American social reality is not the only one. And American society, you Catholic specially, are the most preachy and "get involved in people's life" of them all. In most European countries we don't give a fuck about what our neighbours are doing, unlike you guys that keep exporting your morals to anyone around you and their dog, so don't you give me lessons about interventionism.
But let's be real, talking with Americans, specially Catholic, is useless... you guys chose trump... TWICE!
I don't know what you mean by eugenics axe, but I was not talking about any kind of intervention, rather the opposite, let just not panic over ageing and just try to find a way for the economy to adapt to it.
you can say what you want, but humanity has multiplied and the planet resources are limited. So the current plan of keep multiplying doesn't seem reasonable. For as much effort anyone does to not pollute, having kids is by far the biggest pollution source.
Also is not like being many humans is lowering the power gap, rich people just have more people to abuse.
To finish my point, I'm European, and unlike America, here the mid/high class are not ultra Catholic having tenths of kids, so my perspective could be a bit different than yours. There is not a clear correlation between wealth and kids, if anything inverse.
This is what comes to mind to me every time "the demographic problem" of aging population comes up.
Lowering the number of humans in a natural way is a good thing and economy should evolve into supporting that, not the other way around.
But we depend on a system that relies on constant grow instead so a bunch of people can rape kids without repercussion...
I think one benefit of AI is that it helps identifying mediocre people without a clue or understanding of the work they are supposed to be doing. The sad part is that since these people tend to be higher in the hierarchy, it doesn't materialize on getting rid of them...
