Mr Gary Johns
One might also make a similar argument for the countless social and political troubles that likely would have been avoided had only certain Kings, Princes and Lords been ‘de-sexed’.

Do you remember the WWII competing ideologies of ‘free choice’ versus ‘totalitarianism’ and the massive sacrifice of millions of young made by the “common people” to fight and die in world wars? Do you recall why they believed they fought?
. . . . . so that they could provide their family and children with the freedoms to be able to “choose” in life how to vote, think, love, and the ability for all citizens from genius to handicapped to have reasonable work a fair pay and conditions [e.g. unions] as well as for al to be able in reality to purchase land/home for their family?
Remember how this mass, widespread and generic improvement to the common classes in the west was seemingly leading to more and more property/land ownership/control being transferred from the traditional elites to those more ‘common’ which resulted in a rise of political power and influence of those regular classes mostly in the visible form of the Union movements whose power made sure our system even still today cannot openly and officially/legally oppress people and workers. Yet with the elite classes infiltrating and subverting the will of the political representation for these worker unions [mostly Labour Party but later also any ‘Leftist’ group] and pretending by trickery and lies to their masses to be their kin and representatives [e.g. Whitlam, Hawke, Keating etc.] to be on their side whilst in secret reality both they and the right/business classes sold ALL our low-skilled manual jobs to the slave-worker markets of Asia which effectively overnight undid 2 centuries of British anti-slavery motions as well as millennia of worker/poor classes rights improvements in one stroke of signing business deals.

Big Nana . . . and others –

IF our society really did outbreed the poor such that only the “useful” and richer more ‘qualified/educated’ classes were left in society, WHO would your insightful ilk turn to when needing to locate a person or persons for construction of roads or bridges or damns?
I mean, that is if we assume by then the only hard-labourers remained are third world over-worked and weakened from over-abuse workers of slave pay thus zero liability commitment standard which I doubt such spoiled brats would stoop towards hiring . . . and unless technology can very soon invent a never-ending supply of robotic worker droids who run from an endless cheap power source . . . . . then HOW will the fake and self-proclaimed charlatans of the modern world who have hidden even from their own gaze in 99% of cases in the constructed form of a ‘decent’ and ‘egalitarian’, authentic image of a social being [i.e. mostly as leftists, pretend socialists, refugee advocates etc.] . . . make their way through these types of realities?

I mean, unless the white professional classes are willing to take turns at hard, manual labour like bridge or road construction and without the technology to employ an army of worker-bots who require no pay nor voting rights, they will be left with having to rely upon the labour classes of other nations/races like in Asia which will take the 3rd world’s political hold over the west to an extremely high level of near WWIII settings.

I wonder how many people on this thread who SEEM TO despise the article's bigotry this day MAY have previous held classist/oppressivist opinions, perhaps in other posts on issues like ‘work for dole’, ‘bogans versus refugees’, etc.’?
I wonder – who is who? REALLY? Class pig/bigot animal . . . OR ‘good guy’?

So if contraception fails there will be enforced abortions, right?

Arjay,

I agree, it is more the “merchant bankers” and “insurance conglomerates” including “futurist pundits” who are the real crooks and thus it is them who if anyone should be sterilized and deleted out of our world and future timelines.

However whilst the political power movements in the West that call themselves “Leftists” and “egalitarian” as if they are the decent, moral “good guys” of not just European/western history/society but all of planet earth . . . . . are directly to blame [apart from those filthy Ayn Randian or Nozockian libertarian individualistic self-centred mania] for the current oppression and abuse of the poor in the west and as continues always elsewhere. These “leftist” movements no longer endeavour to serve Karl Marx’s noble anti-oppression, anti-classist ideologies even though the left claim spawning from such. Instead of class oppression or land/property owners ruling over workers/renters, the elitists of the western leftist culture push for maximum political/cultural/social coverage of issues such as ‘ethnic identity’, ‘sexual preference’ such as ‘transgender concerns’, ‘women rights’ but which in respect of the majority of non-western societies having varying degrees of inequity in gender equality . . . . . the leftist phenomena was unconsciously forced to spew forth a new perceptual paradigm claim, the substance-less claimed position of being “cultural/moral relativists”.

Jenny H,

Would you, really ? Is that how your mind works ?

Matthew,

Nihilism is such fun, isn't it ? What's the point of anything?

My god, OLO gets some crazy ones. Although I suppose I shouldn't talk.

Joe

Matthew S how about the Duke and his mob digging holes instead of digging underage holes or swanning around the ski resorts of Europe, but then again it is the poor who doff their hats to the hole digger. No wonder the world is in a mess.
