When I was growing up the internet was a place to be liberated from the world say what you want to say, be whoever you want and form genuine communities with shared interests. Now the internet feels like a tool to enslave the mind with identity echo chambers and any deviation leads you to being banned and blocked shunned and silenced within a void that is inescapable. Novel unique websites coded manually by hobbyists running servers for free in the commons allowing people access to the free flow of information under the banner of “information should be free” has largely gone away with corpratisation. I miss the days when the internet was populated largely by nerds aiming to make a better world not this controlled censored hell hole of profiteering.

    Serious question: do you want to ban abortion before you have developed your country’s economy to “provide for everyone”, or after?

    N.B: 45% of the abortions in the world are unsafe. It is a leading cause of maternal mortality and millions of women are hospitalized each year due to complications of unsafe abortions.

      I want to provide material abundance so women don’t feel the need to have to have them.

        @foresight what if my partner and I just don’t want kids? Even if we’re economically secure? Are we not allowed to fuck because it offends your sensibilities? Because, uh, no. Don’t like abortion? Don’t have an abortion. I’m all for reducing the number by economic and social improvements, but there are cases where a woman does not for whatever reason want to grow another human inside of her body and that’s her right.
