I am joking of course, but there is something to ponder about the growing number of childless people over 40 voting with little concern for the long term.
Old people without children vote for policies that favor the next generation.
People don't all vote purely on self-interest, some of us vote on how we think human society should be run, and what we think is genuinely best for everyone. Not just for our own immediate bottom line.
This whole ageist line of reasoning is pretty offensive.
We childless folk have had a quiet 25ish years and now the pendulum seems to be swinging back the other direction. I’ve noticed quite an uptick in memes about childless people being selfish monsters and taking away our voting rights is right in line with that.
In case you couldn't quite parse that, I mean: fuck your comment.
