        Exactly. My honest opinion is, a parent should be given enough resources to raise as many children as they like in a safe, stable and healthy home. An investment in our children is an investment to the country. Same with free school meals, free bus fares for children, investment in schools, etc. If anything, our children should be one of the biggest national investments. They literally are our future. Especially when there are billionaires with money sitting in investment accounts doing nothing.

        To call starting a family a “breeding fetish” is disgusting and deranged

            Enjoy rotting away when you’re elderly, lonely and nobody cares about you or takes care of you. Your skeleton would probably be found by a bailiff months after your death who’s only purpose of visit is to collect money off of you for your unpaid bills.

              While the fetish freak is lacking any valid opinion. Responding to evolutionary developed will to procreate is the opposite of a fetish.

              In 2025 raising children to avoid loneliness. Is pretty close to slavery. We literally had a history in the west. Of the youngest daughter only existing to care for parents as they aged and died. And modern refusal to support elderly care. Really is society trying to enslave the young into responsibility for their parents over taxing the wealthier to provide such care.

              Honestly the choice of parenthood should be left to those that feel most able to dedicate a significant portion of their lives to raising future citizens. While avoiding shaming those who feel less able into feeling forced to raise children.
