    You know in all my 40 years I’ve never ONCE seen a picture of a group of astronauts that I didn’t believe that every single one of them deserved to be there. But this isn’t about merit, they want more babies and they need to make sure little girls don’t have any options but to be mothers and have a need to be supported by a man with a job.

      You’re giving them too much credit for thinking that far ahead.

      They just don’t like women or POC. That’s as far as it goes.

        They don’t like women and POC that is why they do everything they can to enforce white supremacy and patriarchy. It’s doesn’t stop at just hate. The hate most definitely creates incentives to enforce hierarchy. They go hand in hand. Don’t assume it’s just dumb hatred. It is planned and systemic forms of hatred that are very much on purpose.

        While I don’t disagree with you that this is based on hate, they love money more than they hate these people.

          Ok but they also lack the long-term thinking required to understand that more babies = more labor and more money. We live in a nearly complete corporate capture, corporate minds are utterly incapable of thinking past the next quarter. You really think they’re really looking 15+ years ahead?

            You really don’t think capitalists see every consumer as cattle that they own, that they are just waiting to mature to extract the most milk(money) out of. You are extremely naive. Just because short term profits are a thing doesn’t mean they don’t have a plan, you are watching it unfold in front of you while you cover your own eyes. They have the money to wait.

              No, because I look at things they do like ignoring climate change, moving manufacturing overseas, the gutting of education, and countless other things that show they don’t think about long-term investments, they are only concerned with short-term profit.

              These people aren’t looking to grow an empire that will last decades, they’re looking to make money fast and cash out while the world burns. They don’t give a shit what the labor pool looks like in 15+ years, that’s a problem for the suckers who come later. They will have long since escaped with their golden parachutes.
