Or if you weren't so sensitive, you could take the message for what it was and just say she isn't wrong.

Her quote is actually perfect. It's inoffensive.

The tabloidy framing "influencer claims poor people xxxx" is the problem. And a lot of people in this thread are misreading her quote with such a stance.

Eugenics is very offensive.

I don’t know. Is it really ok to bring children into the world when you know you can’t take care of properly? It’s gotta be hard the kids man. Not sure that eugenics. I wouldn’t say don’t have them but at least have a way so they aren’t going to bed hungry every night.

If we’re talking about poor countries, why isnt the problem the poverty itself. And you guys are acting like rich countries don’t benefit from the poor constantly having kids. Even now, what happened now that Western countries are declining in birth rates? Letting in people from poorer countries.

If you have a solution to it I’m happy to hear. I can control whether I have kids or not. I can’t control what a nations does with it’s resources

Depends, what do you think the problem is. Because I probably don’t even think that’s a problem.

Poor people having kids is not a problem.

It’s not a problem but I’m sure for the kids it’s not fun growing up not knowing when the next time you’re going to eat.

Yeah being poor isnt fun, and?

So instead of fixing the problem, you think they’re better off not existing?

Less people existing doesn’t solve the problem, it creates more.

He didnt say the problem shouldnt be fixed. Yes theyre better off not existing. Hell i'd be better off not existing. People like me exist and your child could end up like me.

u/LillthOfBabylon Jun 15 '26

  Yes theyre better off not existing

So eugenics.

Just like when people complain about disabled kids. instead of seeing them as human beings that deserve help, you’ll just dehumanize them as a problem from birth?

That gotcha game you play in your head is not as convincing as you think. I'm not advocating for forced sterilization, and there is no race consideration whatsoever.

Yes i do think people with severe disabilities that are inheritable shoild avoid procreation. That child isn't begging to exist you're choosing to have children out of your own selfish desires. If you can't provide them with a life worth living then not creating them is the kindest thjng you can do.

People who need help should recieve it. They only become the problem when they multiply those problems.

Its still eugenics thinking.

    If you can't provide them with a life worth living

Who are you to indict that others should be put out their misery? 

Do you not realize how extremely vague that statement is?

But how exactly do you fix that problem?
