  • What are you looking for when you ask for a good reason? When you ask for a reason it sounds like there is an implicit counter argument.

    I’m not the best to offer reasons, my partner and I are child-free, but you can find all sorts of reasons to have kids and I don’t really think they matter. If you want to have kids, go for it*. If you don’t, thats awesome too.

    *consent for procreative acts and we live in a society etc. but we’re ignoring capitalism so…












  • I don’t think it’s quite so simple as war is good for the economy in any term. War can have loads of positive and negative effects on an economy. It seems to me the war is good for the economy idea is an American construction as military spending is the only jobs program our ruling class likes to support, and military intervention is necessary to defend western economic hegemony.

    We should also be aware those effects will be experienced differently by the ruling and working classes. War can shift economic focus away from satisfying domestic needs and allow certain industries and their owners to flourish and gain influence while workers see increased austerity and reduction in rights.
