Quote:Last year, during her “Fight for Our Freedoms” national college tour, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at Reading Area Community College in Pennsylvania, addressing the concept of “climate anxiety” linked to climate change. She explained that this anxiety encompasses fears about the future and uncertainty over whether it makes sense for younger people to have children.

"We're not going to stop fighting for that. Because young people said, we're not leaving it to other people to decide how we're dealing with the climate crisis,” Harris said. “You know, I've heard young leaders talk with me about a term they've coined, ‘climate anxiety,’ which is fear of the future and the unknown of whether it makes sense for you to even think about having children, whether it makes sense for you to think about aspiring to buy a home because what will this climate be?"

Harris’ comments have resurfaced in the wake of criticism aimed at Senator JD Vance for remarks he made in 2021. Vance has faced scrutiny for calling Democratic politicians “childless cat ladies.”

Vance’s colorful remark was part of a broader argument about politicians who do not have children, such as Kamala Harris, discussing the importance of the future despite not having a personal stake in it like those with children might have. Vance was specifically referring to female politicians who choose not to have children despite being able to.

“This is about criticizing the Democratic Party for becoming anti-family and anti-children," Vance explained on The Megyn Kelly Show.

"The simple point that I made is that having children, becoming a father, becoming a mother, I really do think it changes your perspective in a pretty profound way," he continued. "I'm making an argument that our entire society has become skeptical and even hateful towards the idea of having kids."

The fewer Dems having kids the better

It will take a generation or two before the full implications of this really start to show up in the political sphere. But it’s coming over the horizon, all the same. And when it happens … yikes.

The elites want the earth depopulated, and they're probably going to get their wish.

Whether they want it or not, the Earth's population is already projected to peak soon, probably around 9 billion, and then start declining. I think it's obvious some want it to decline much faster. With China's population already declining as well as Japan, South Korea, and several European nations and the rapidly declining birth rates in the rest of the world, the future is going to be very turbulent as nations try to support growing older populations and declining working age populations.

That should give us even more reason to replace the nationwide Ponzi scheme that is Social Security with something like a non-taxable private retirement account people can opt into.

GC, I’m all in favor of that, and in favor of other types of pension-reform as well.

But honestly, retirement benefits are going to be the LEAST of our worries.

I guess I should say “our” worries since we’re talking about ~50 years from now. But you see my point.

Humanity will have ended not with a bang, but a whimper if things keep going the way they are now.

I hear ya, buddy. Believe me, I share the same concerns as well. I just don't expect to be here ~50 from now. lol

It won’t be how you think it will. It will end with a pandemic. Something so virulent it will depopulation the world in a matter of weeks. There will be survivors tucked away in some corners of the earth and some few with immunity that will continue the human race but it will be back to the Stone Age for them.

Same woman that probably joined the white women for Kamala Zoom call.

The groups that traditionally dominated humanity were those that avoided plagues and famines. In other words, the belief systems (whether secular or religious) that provided economic and technological goods to their citizens came to dominate over time.

However, today we have mostly eliminated plagues and famines. So that model is out the window. In the last 40 years we have seen the decline of some powers (Japan, Germany, Britain) who are very good at providing economic goods to its citizens and the rise of some powers (India, Iran, Yemen, Ethiopia) who are very bad at it.

With the invention of highly effective birth control, a new model is rising. The future of humanity is that every belief system (whether secular or part of an official religion) will die out over time unless it is explicitly pro-natalist.

Just look at the history of the Shakers. That's the future for the Western secularists, the Communists, and many other (smaller) belief systems. The future will be dominated by explicitly pro-natalist groups like Islamists, Orthodox Jews, and Mormons, as well as Christian denominations that demonize birth control.

I hope all people that would take what she says seriously would not have kids.

I think she is right. If those who have climate anxiety don't have kids, we will increase the average intelligence of our population.

Prog filth should not reproduce

I guess I'm really slow but what's the problem? Fewer people to fund pensions is the worst part that I see. I'm admittedly an introvert so I don't really like places with lots of people other than my family (wife + 4 kids). Maybe I'm biased.
