    I’m sitting here now wondering just who should reproduce and how do we determine who that is?

      who should reproduce?

      Anyone who wants to

      how do we determine who that is?

      By letting people have kids if they want

      The way it’s currently done is through culture. All the anti-child anti-family propaganda you see here and on reddit isn’t an accident. The exact opposite is spread through church announcements and conservative message boards. Lo and behold, the people who doom scroll reddit and lemmy have fewer children than church people and conservatives.

      The thinking, I guess, is that people who’s life situation brings them to certain circles make better or worse parents. Who comes to Lemmy? In my experience, very unhappy people. Do we want unhappy people reproducing? Well, it seems like the answer is currently “no”.
