NYT is more like to go full Handmaiden's Tale in the face of plummeting birthrates.
"A tax penalty for not having children is brilliant, actually."
"Without One Billion Americans, WW3 could be stickier than expected."
"Why aren't Zoomers having sex in their doomsday bunkers??"
"Were reproductive rights a mistake? President Harris thinks so."
“Why aren’t Zoomers having sex in their doomsday bunkers??”
Stealing this, thank you
The exact moment the first horrific affects of severe climate change happen. I don’t mean what we have now I mean the “Arizona is officially uninhabitable” level shit. The mass influx of climate refugees stuff.
They will jump on it as hard as possible.
Persian Gulf climate migration crisis coinciding with, related to and exacerbated by the West's successful destabilization of Iran. That's my bet!
It really feels like we're about to live through a dumber version of the 1920's
The real question is which group of incompetents is going to end up starting the WW3
Or do even libs have a limit when it comes to normalizing sociopathy?
History suggests not
This sounds interesting. Do you have a link to the episode/Cushvlog where Matt talked about it?
Yeah it's a long drawn out riff on an article from a journalist who wrote a piece about killing her dog who couldn't stop biting people
The children article wasn't telling parents to be cruel to children. It was saying that since the person writing the article was bad at playing with her children which led to her children not appreciating it when she tried, then you're probably also bad at it so you should do what she did, stop trying and let them play on their own. It was weird and stupid but it didn't say anything like that.
It's not the same though. What it says is actually kinda true sometimes, parents can be annoying in their attempts to play with children. It's not about emotional withdraw, that is just what the result may be. It's not a good article but it's not really comparable to the other one at all. The worst thing about it is the title tbh. Read it yourself and see: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/06/15/magazine/kids-play.amp.html
It's silly how the verdict seems to be "don't play with your children" when it should be "give them more space to play on their own if you see they don't have fun playing with you" but again, it's mostly the title. People should read past the title.
