Capitalism is a pyramid scheme, and every pyramid scheme needs and endless supply of new recruits. The whole system depends on a growing population of workers to exploit, consumers to buy useless shit, and taxpayers to fund corporate bailouts. If people stopped breeding, who would be left to take on the crushing debt, work low-wage jobs, and keep the machine running?
Billionaires, of course, push the hardest for more births because they need a steady supply of desperate labor. That’s why you see Apartheid Clyde constantly whining about a “population collapse” while simultaneously advocating for 80-hour workweeks. He doesn’t actually care about civilization, he just needs more cogs for his empire.
Meanwhile, the average capitalist supporter buys into the myth that having kids is an “investment” in their own future, whether for cheap family labor, someone to take care of them when they’re old, or just to pass on their legacy. They don’t see that they’re just creating more foot soldiers for the ruling class.
It’s all just another scheme to ensure there’s always a new generation to squeeze dry.
You always have an interesting take on things.

How else is Elon gonna be a top player in Diablo 4 if nobody is working 80 hours a week? Someone has to do the work while he grinds his pathetic character.

I was thinking yesterday that I want him to start streaming on Twitch just so I can troll the shit out of him. Trump calls everyone against him an “enemy of the people.” Apartheid Clyde is the true enemy of the people and an enemy of freedom.
