I’ve always said the less of us there are, the more valuable each of us is worth. And I’ve also suspected that the reason so many far right politicians pressure people to breed, breed, breed, yet only tend to have one or two kids themselves is because they have always known that. They can’t possibly risk splitting their own wealth too many ways over the following generations, but they rely on an uneducated, impoverished underclass to pander to and convince to vote against their best interests. I’ve always suspected this is why so many conservatives have contempt for childfree people, particularly women.
