    I hate the implication that you only have value if you have children, and if you don’t have children you don’t matter and neither do your opinions. As if having children is some grandiose accomplishment, only achieved by the best of society.

      They always find a reason to devalue opinions they don’t like. “Shut up and dribble” is my favorite. They want people to “stay in their lane” completely ignoring we live in a democracy where everyone is entitled to an opinion. MUH freeze peach crowd hating on free speech when they don’t like the message but as soon as Kid Rock or Hulk Hogan opens their mouths they’re all ears.

        Yeah, they don’t want that either.

        it even goes beyond that. recall fauci being relentlessly attacked (to this day) despite doing nothing but “staying in his lane,” medical expertise. because shutdowns are bad for business, it became priority 1 to convince everyone that covid is a hoax and if you wear a mask you are literally a baby-eating satan

      In a fascist state, “in group” members reproducing is like, the biggest thing.
