Why are rethugs trying to overpopulate the world?

[jorno67]

People are going to have sex...no matter what. So in order to not overpopulate the world a large number of humans should have sex that doesn't result in a child, such as:
Birth Control - Rethugs against - see the Mitten's mob
Gay sex - Rethugs against - see Santorum (or don't)
Masturbation - Rethugs against - see crazy "I'm not a witch" lady

All of these are ways to have fun without adding to the number of people who need resources. Not all of these are for you but I bet most will take part in at least 2 of the 3

Still there will also be cases of:
Termination of unwanted/harmful/crime related pregnancy - and again - Rethugs against - see all of them (life is sacred until you're born)

So why is it that they need to overpopulate the earth?
And why, if we must have so many people, can't we take care of them?

1. They figure that if they have more and more babies, the balance of politics

in the US will take a rightward shift.

Also, they don't believe in the science that supports climate change and think that they are entitled to use as many of earth's resources as they want. After all, gawd said it was theirs to use and they trust him to take care of future generations because he has a plan.

2. A bigger choice of people to screw ?

3. churchgoing folks are a huge moneypot for RW pols and churches

of course they want all those families to have 10 kids (each donating a tithe) and those kids to have christian church going familes when they grow up.

4. Cannon fodder and consumers.

Preferably both...

[smirkymonkey]

10. You mean cannon fodder and slaves...

you can't consume very much if you have no job and no money, unfortunately.

[RevStPatrick]

12. Well yeah, there is that!

They want a distopia, because that always looks so cool in the movies...

[silverweb]

15. Yup.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]That's it. I really believe they want to take us back to a feudal society, a plutarchy.

5. Here's the perfect spokesperson for the anti-masturbation lobby...

6. Fapper sounds like a technique one would use to masterbate...

oh the irony!

8. always has been

Consult any urban slang dictionary for "fap"

7. interestingly, population denial spans the spectrum--a lot of nationalists and reformers attacked

the notion in the 70s

for example, conservative and Communist Hondurans attacking doctors offering birth control said they were stooges of the Rockefeller Foundation and that nobody could push Honduras around if it ever got to 7-8 million (which it currently is); there's still a lot of strong natalism out there

9. They're trying to make Idiocracy a documentary?

11. At the very least, you'd think that the average con would be happy with fewer...

...non-white children in world. They'd be able to win more elections that way without having to resort to gerrymandering every decade or so.

13. They are selective in the populations they would like to augment

More white babies. Definitely more white babies! Superstitions and religious injunctions will be stringently enforced, by white males, on their women. Any pseudo-science that can be put to use toward this end will be encouraged.

More cannon fodder! This can come from economically disadvantaged groups of all ethnicities.

More dead women! Botched illegal abortions will remove breeders from the the economic subcastes. Safe abortion will always be available for the wealthy should the need arise.

Orphaned children of parents dead from disease or other causes will be easy pickings for the cheap labor market. Why would you pay an adult worker union-scale wages and benefits when you can get a 12-year-old for a fraction of the cost?

It will be critical to ensure that children born into economic subcastes receive the barest minimum of education, liberally (ha!) seasoned with superstition. Health care will be limited to emergency-room visits and vaccinations to protect the public health, especially that of the higher castes. Children living with chronic or acute health conditions won't live long.

More slave labor for the prison industrial complex (see #2 above). If these individuals manage to avoid prison and the military, there will be some low-wage jobs to ensure their continual enslavement. In the case of insufficient low-wage jobs, there is prison and the military. Or starvation. Or early death from a preventable illness. Or early death from a combination of crime, poverty, and ignorance.

When the breeding phase is complete, the remaining women will be cut loose and allowed to die slowly and painfully without recourse to health care or services.

Didn't you know? These guys read "The Handmaid's Tale" and thought it was an instruction manual.

14. More poor people to oppress and enslave....

16. They want us to die

they want poverty, hunger, and war. Even overpopulation for the short term, because it helps move the other metrics toward the goal of widespread death.

They want the world, and there's too damn many of us in their way. Think of it as a thinning of the heard.

[Raine]

17. They don't want to overpopulate it with just anyone ... it needs to be white people

since they're so scared of being out numbered by minorities.
