Even excusing the policy, the design is actually pretty shit though. We're all just used to it so it feels default and normal.

Antinatalists constantly tell people to kill their offspring.

Some do, sure, but that's what what antinatalism is. This is like saying "vegans constantly tell meat eaters to kill themselves." Yes, some do, but the point of veganism isn't the death of meat eaters.

I argue on the same level as antinatalists.

No, you argue on your deranged level by justifying it with your antinatalist boogey man. You're like those YouTube conservatives who put up a picture of a blue haired teenager on screen and saying "this is who the liberals are."

If the cause is to end the suffering that humankind causes then there is only one solution.

This is like saying the way to end violence done in the name of religion is to kill off all religious people. There's more that goes into getting to an end solution than just immediately jumping to it. And it also seems like you think antinatalists entire existence is about making antinatalism, like there's nothing else besides this.

If my notions of the world are wrong, and humankind really is only a burden, then youre indirectly also calling for genocide.

You seem to not know what the word "natalism" means. It's about bring people into the world. It has nothing to do with people who are already living.

And killing off all living people isn't a genocide. It's "speciocide." Completely different things. Comparing antinatalists with people who commit genocides is unbelievably unhinged, but I should have seen it coming from someone like you.

You think that isn’t fucked up?

The only thing I think is fucked up in this discussion is people who only believe in antinatalism-lite for eugenic reasons and, of course, you.

You straw man the position and say following the conclusion of the straw man, humanity must end based on their logic.

How isn't having kids selfish? You're not having a child for this child's sake. You're having the child for your sake.

So if you were truly commited to your cause and you wanted your bloodline to die with you, then you could also [i do not condone selfharm, this is purely for argumentation].

I don't have a cause. You're putting words into my mouth because you don't know how to argue in good faith.

You're literally telling me to kill myself because you're personally offended someone dare challenge your preconceived notions of the world. You're a truly fucked up individual. I pray you don't have or ever have any dependents. You're a danger to society.

I think you might be glamorizing it a bit. Talking about politics was until "recently" considered very rude and taboo. There's been a big culture shift in talking about politics in the past maybe 15-20 years or so. I don't have any hard data and this is just my view, but I think a major turning point was when a lot of the country realized how fucked up the wars in the Middle East were. This put people squarely into two pretty emotional camps, pro-war and anti-war. Everyone* had an opinion. Everyone* was open about sharing that opinion. Over those few years 2003-2008 was probably the biggest shift in openly talking about politics among regular people. And since being open about politics was now in, here came the wave of loud and proud racism from "centrists" and conservatives once Obama was elected and it hasn't died down since.

So, yeah, it's real easy for discussions to get "hot" when one side is openly calling for all the -isms in the book and people on the other side finally realizing what's happening.

I said parents are selfish for having kids. You can try to downplay it all you want, but you don't have a kid for this future magical mystical kid. You have a kid for your own wants and needs over everything else. Just because having kids is an accepted action in society doesn't make it not selfish. And since you think of "selfishness" as a bad thing, this makes your brain scramble and your cognitive dissonance go into overdrive causing you to come up with completely inept retorts like I'm "selfish" for simply existing and using resources that the Earth clearly has as I'm using them.

This is such an incredible leap in logic.

You can say that having kids is selfish, which it objectively is (no matter if they're perfectly healthy/wealthy/on top of society or not), but also want to "build a society and world that will accept us, accommodate to us, liberate people and save the planet."

Focusing on just kids with disabilities and not every kid is fucked though, with a lot of these people in these spaces.

There's no other way to put it, having kids is extremely selfish.

It's pretty much the epitome of selfishness.

I want to clarify though, this isn't to say that calling only people who to have kids who happen to have disabilities "selfish." Every single parent is extremely selfish (excluding some outliers, obviously, don't "um actually" me).

Are they though? Children have very little autonomy and human rights. They're essentially property of their parents.

Don't you people have something better to do than unironically doing the ackchyually meme? Follow the fucking post and its fucking intent, you fucking internet weirdos. You're not as smart as you think you are.

Seeing all those blue, trending blue but purple states listed, then fucking BAM, Louisiana. I know the governor is a D but this suggests this isn’t really that big of a commitment if Louisiana is listed if only the governor is the reason.

Then why are you framing your post like it was? If you get accused of raping a woman and you’re going on live TV wearing your employee uniform defending yourself, your employer is firing you 10 out of 10 times.

I guarantee you his contract looks like something like this, “If you meet X performance metric, the company will buy N amount of shares (maximum 2000) back at the maximum/average stock price within Y days and sell you back the amount of shares sold (maximum 2000) for Z dollars.”

It’s definitely not. It’s probably just a free $80k his contract allowed him to get.

It was probably part of his contract. It wasn’t $40 when he sold it. As probably allowed by his contract, he sold it back to the company and bought it back for pennies. It’s just compensation not some conspiracy on his individual part.

That’s clickbait journalism.

He sold 2000 shares for $40/share, which he then immediately bought back for $1.42/share.

This is like when Europeans or people in other countries say, “racism isn’t a problem here, it’s a ‘uniquely American’ problem.” Not because racism doesn’t exist in these other countries, but because these other countries aren’t actually talking about racism and often don’t care about it.

If everyone who said they were going to do this actually did this, Chrome wouldn’t do this, if that makes sense.

Not listed, so you know what that means! Great result via omission! Looks like my loved ones are all good then!
