Speakers predict dystopian future, call for dismantling capitalism
PHOENIX — Two professors discussed dismantling capitalism and electing a female president to restore reproductive rights, and warned of a dystopian future with “cannibalism” and “forced breeding camps,” at an event held Wednesday at Arizona State University.
“Jenny Irish’s HATCH: A Speculative Future for Reproductive Rights” was held both in person and via Zoom.
It featured Irish, a poet and English professor at ASU, as well as Professor Angela Lober, director of the Academy of Lactation Programs at ASU’s Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation.
Professor Lober opened the one-hour moderated discussion by stating she “got into this space because the United States hates women and everything the female body does.”
She said she is concerned about the state of maternal healthcare in the country, citing the existence of “maternity care deserts” and the lack of comprehensive care for mothers and children.
Economic interests often override health concerns, as evidenced by the lack of financial incentives in breastfeeding and maternal-child health, Lober said.
Irish, when asked about her concerns for the future of abortion laws, said she fears the possibility of “forced breeding camps” and “cannibalism” driven by a lack of resources.
“So much of our reality points toward those futures,” Irish said.
Lober added: “The balance between hope and despair is an everyday experience for me.”
“A couple years ago I never thought Roe v. Wade would be overturned. How could we possibly do that?” Lober said.
Asked what they would do to restore reproductive rights, Lober said “dismantle capitalism” and “elect a female president.”
Irish said any time Americans have an “external entity” asserting control over women’s bodies, they should all be “terrified.” She said the country should consider how “forcing women into motherhood” affects the broader community.
Irish also talked about transgenderism and said there is an “all-out assault on the trans community and people’s ability to self-identify.”
“It is disgusting, immoral, and wrong,” she said.
The scholars also took questions from the 15 or so students in the audience as well as over Zoom. When asked about the decline in birth rates globally, Lober said it doesn’t “bother” her, as “we are overpopulated.”
She also said she encourages her children not to have children of their own.
Karina Fitzgerald, the event coordinator, said the goal of the event was “to encourage students that are following creative pursuits or other types of worldbuilding to simply explore other elements that they haven’t thought of before in their writing, or other ways to challenge themselves in creative processes.”
“It’s an element of worldbuilding that people might not think of a lot when they are creating fictional stories,” Fitzgerald told The College Fix in an interview. “It’s a good exercise for students to get in the practice of.”
The event was co-hosted by ASU Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics, which hosts events that aim to design “a future keyed to human flourishing,” according to its website.
The event description states the “prose poems in Jenny Irish’s newest collection, Hatch, trace the consciousness of an artificial womb that must confront the role she has played in the continuation of the dying of the human species.”
“This apocalyptic vision engages with the most pressing concerns of this contemporary sociopolitical moment: reproductive rights, climate crises, and mass extinction; gender and racial bias in healthcare and technology; disinformation, conspiracy theories, and pseudoscience; and the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence.”
dystopian future with “cannibalism” and “forced breeding camps,”
BRAVE NEW WORLD had that replaced. The word “Mother” was now a vile word printed as M-——r.
Kamala word salad thinking
>> call for dismantling capitalism
In reality, a call for communism — which of course should be abolished.
End Capitalism. Because big Mother loves you .
Maybe some women should stop being annoying Karens then they won’t be sk hated.

As if... these deluded lunatics know anything about “reality”. And nobody is forcing women to become mothers. Just attempting to stop them from using taxpayer-funded infanticide as their lazy-@ss method of birth control.
Also when... when they go down into the mine everyone would still be alive. There would be no shocking memories, and the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind, combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead! Ahhhh! Right are reflexes into Nazi salute. He pulls it back into his lap and beats it again. Gloved hand attempts to strangle him.

Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ration of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?
Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
DeSadeski: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.
One of the great things about women activists that don’t want children and they hate men is, they eventually will all die off. Recruiting will become harder as they realize the new recruits will die all alone with no one but their cats.
After a successful EMP attack where there is no food or water supplies you might see some of this. However it won’t have anything to do with women’s rights.
Some here would just prefer to pray that they change their minds...
The enemy for these kooks are our historical ancestors who created our Constitutional Republic, American Civilization, The Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc.
If these destructive ideologues had a time machine and had to create a foundation for a new country......we would be living in a political & economic hell hole.
Trump represents the “Big-Bad White Daddy Patriarch” they all resent and hate.
“After a successful EMP attack where there is no food or water supplies you might see some of this. However it won’t have anything to do with women’s rights.”
But it might have something to do with all of the “real cannibals” and ferals that the Democrat leftists have allowed to waltz across our open border and disperse throughout the nation. If the left steals the next election as well... the ferals won’t be dumpster diving like the rest of us. They’ll be ambushing dumpster divers.
The Fessors must be OD’ing on something.

*******************
Culling the human herd naturally and humanely is what is going on with these childless females.
Nobody is forcing them not to reproduce....they’re doing it to themselves & will continue to do so as long as the economic machine continues to pay out.
If the economic machine stalls on payouts you’ll see a shift in reproductive trends faster than you can say “baby boomer.”
“...Professor Angela Lober, director of the Academy of Lactation Programs at ASU’s Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation...”
Soooo, one can major in lactation studies in the nursing school? It figures this idiot would be in charge of all things lactating at the university
Funny, she doesn't look like she would have any trouble getting a husband. Nor does she look like a cat lady.
LOL! Says who?
“the new recruits will die all alone with no one but their cats”
This is animal cruelty.
No animal should have to deal with humans that are this stupid.
So fricken bizzare how many American women hate their mothers and everything their mothers did for them.
