if you want my honest opinion, it's hedonism and materialism. that's it. people can blame economics all they want, but the facts are everyone is wealthier today than anybody 100 years ago. the problem is what people want vs. what is actually necessary. somehow poor people, living on a farm 200 years ago could afford 8 kids, but apparently people today "can't" even afford 1. it's a bullshit narrative. what people actually mean when they say they can't afford a kid is actually, "i can't afford a kid, while living in a $400k home, with 2 mercedes-benz in the driveway, 3 vacations a year, while working at my basic 8hr/day job, in an air-conditioned office". it's just putting your own material pleasure over anything else. most americans and western europeans have turned into whiney little faggots that pretend like working at a factory for $22/hr, or working in an air-conditioned building at a retail store for $18/hr is "slave-labor" because they can't afford a $300k house in a nice suburban neighborhood off of a single, low-skill, low-iq, 9-5 job. and it's not just leftists now. almost every right-winger has turned into a little crybaby bitch too.
