    This is the kind of thing I used to see under /r/upliftingnews on the other site, along with Americans failing to notice how dystopian it looks to the rest of the world.

      /r/OrphanCrushingMachine

      Isn’t it lovely that this beautiful child, with a bit of determination and a whole lot of luck, escaped the orphan crushing machine?

      That might have been the main reason I left the other site. Wasn’t banned, wasn’t using apps, but one can only take so much of this being labeled r/wholesome or something before I had enough.

    This happens, and it sucks for the parent and for the customer.

    I haven’t been to whataburger since i’ve been yelled by a parent behind the counter because their kid wouldn’t leave me the fuck alone and I had the audacity to be kind about it so obviously i’m a pedophile or something.

    If there was a village, couldn’t someone from the village watch the kid while she worked her shift? This is showing that it takes a village, but the village is missing.

    This image tells you everything you need to know…

    Is that because there are words explaining the image?

    There should be a civil service job called “mother” and women who have children and stay at home to take care of their home and children should be paid a living wage with benefits and retirement through our tax dollars. Conservatives, you say want more children to use as wage slaves and fewer abortions? Okay, prove it. Start paying women. Women have been doing unpaid labor for centuries. Give them pay and benefits and watch how many of them are willing to have kids.

      But getting pregnant has to be punished, not rewarded! Because having sex is bad! Children are only a blessing because it lets us hurt women for having sex!

      I think that’s how they think?

    The system that’s trying to dumb you down LOVES when you really believe an image can tell you everything you need to know.

    Keep thinking that way, and don’t forget your Brawndo!
