      Probably the only way to get upper middle class people to breed is to make having 2 children a requirement to get to college. 3 kids for graduate school. That and free sleepover childcare: baby factories. https://twitter.com/__amadis/status/1032909009022595072 …

      Of course it has but we are reactionaries. If you think your policy is any more likely to be enacted then Jim's (I only support Jim's less extreme policies, I don't think adultery should be a death penalty matter for instance... Cromwell failed there)... I doubt it.

      I think there's a slightly better chance. Of course I'd prefer crushing the universities and salting the ground, but our signaling structure is built upon them, so I could see an enterprising bureaucrat using them for what will soon be a desperate need.

          (2/2) To the idea of depriving women of at least some rights then the idea of fertility quotas. In fact nothing unites the far right (at least in the United States) on their own forums as opposition to women's suffrage and other legal innovations in regards to women since.

          The "right" is not coming to power. The ruling class, the bureaucratic machine is a literal caste that is not going anywhere. The best we can achieve is proposing solutions than then the deep state implements according to their own needs and abilities. It's that or war.

          (1/2) Only two scenarios where we get either 1) Right vs left war where the right wins 2) Trump becomes dictator/king/emperor without a war More likely both Trump and the extreme right are amenable...
