“Population collapse due to low birthrates is a much bigger risk to civilisation than global warming.”
Hell, I find the very use of the word “collapse” in that sentence to be a ridiculous exaggerated way to describe population growth slowing, or even stopping.
I also can’t think of how such a thing would be a “risk” to civilization. Risking what, exactly?
Overall, kinda sounds like the inverse, equally-weird version of those people who make a big deal of declaring that human beings should all die and that we’re a plague on the planet, etc.
It is weird, it’s also the leading rhetoric for Musk and other conservative/alt right influencers that spread the message of the trad wife and the prerequisite purity required of a wife. Also how tattoos corrupt that “purity”
That population collapse quote was from Musk himself trying to downplay the environmental issues we all face as a species.
Okay. That’s totally irrelevant, though. There isn’t even a caption on this image that implies any political motivation at all.
I’ve had several left-leaning friends who hated tattoos and the idea of them, as well as right-leaning friends who love them and literally fantasize about getting the next one as soon as their latest one is done. Hell, during the brief period I tried using dating apps, it was the most aggressively-tattooed people that I recall being more likely to have something pro-Trump right at the top of their profiles.
The bottom line is, a lot of people think being covered in tattoos looks unattractive or even repulsive, and they are definitely NOT “all bunched up in one corner” politically. Hence “that’s a pretty big assumption”.
Edit: Reverse searched the image, and the only result is from a generic anti-tattoo group. Knock me over with a feather.
I don’t think so, but how do you define it?

Bro, this you? Biiiiiiiiig energy switch when I mentioned Musk. Curious, it’s so easy to assume your politics.
Correct, @horse_battery_staple
