I think this is a government driven population control effort.
Governments have done this before, usually its just am education campaign to only have x kids or something.
I’m not sure this strategy has ever been tried before.
I agree. And I have NEVER seen anything this weird or perverted on such a large scale with the corresponding legislative, legal, and cultural tail to it.
Growing up, I heard about how terrible Senator Joseph McCarthy was, what a bad man he was. And this was from government, teachers, media, you name it, and...you just accepted it. Only as an adult did I find out I had been lied to, repeatedly and forcefully on this subject. The truth is, though...I am not sure the vast majority thought they were lying when they told me these things.
With this, I feel that there are a large portion of them who know they are lying, which makes it more egregious and sinister to me.
I think this is different...quite different.
