    A) bring back third spaces where people can meet up and socialize without money. Decent wages so people have free time. Unions so people have breaks and rights. Walkable cities where you can run into another person and have a chat without being run over by a car.

    B) authoritarian police state where porn is banned but the government has 10gb of photos of your genitals and sells it to advertisers who send you coupons for diapers when you fuck.

    Literally hundreds of studies showing that if people can buy a house before they’re 40, they will have more children.

    You can’t legislate your way into a higher birth rate. Even authoritarian countries have tried and failed. But you can legislate systemic changes that help people with housing, childcare, and groceries.

    That’s not why they’re doing it, they want to tightly control and track what everyone does, limit their freedoms and so on. But yeah.

      I only ever saw it as controlling the spread of the horrific and anti-human terrorist philosophy of “believing the mass internment and murder of Palestinians is not a good thing actually”

      They’re really upset we keep organising protests about things they don’t want protests about.

      Like climate or g-cide.

      Much better to sabotage or intimidate them in the organisation phase.

      Silly plebs should trust in Keir.
