It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

also your argument has a problem:
This is mostly because the proles in the west (and even other regions) are being pushed out of upward economic mobility. People are having less kids because they can't afford to, not because they don't want to. Under a socialist system, everyone would have everything they need, so birthrates would increase. There's always going to be a few people who want to have tons of kids or whatever, this still happens in the US among Mormons/Amish/ElonMusk, and that needs to be penalized somehow, otherwise it's not really fair for the people who just have the maintenance level of 2 children--and if you let that problem fester it could get really bad in several generations time (hyperfertile parents tend to pass on their hyperfertile culture to their kids, etc).
I'm realizing now that I think I responded to the wrong comment since I had no issue with this position lol. It is kind of an "unfalsifiable" type of position though since you can't consent to your enjoyment of life without first being alive.
