After the jump!
I got a good chuckle out of Splinter’s “Ban parents” article Linky
TL:DR take all the kids to be raised in a collective by professional child raisers.
Their defenses of this.
Government paying for day care isn’t remotely close to them taking them away from you so that you’re no longer their guardians. It’d be more like CPS taking kids away, but from everybody not just people who abuse their kids and stuff. And the foster care system isn’t a great example because although there’s not really any better alternative, no one’s lining up to send their kids of to be raised by it. Have fun convincing people otherwise.
I find the surrogate example hilarious. “A small wealthy minority of people pay other people to birth their babies because of medical or vanity reasons, so we’ll just enforce that on everyone!”
And then the government medicinal mandates. Mandating someone gets a vaccine, or some shit, is a far fucking cry from taking their biological children away from them. One they’re injecting proven and tested medicine into your body. The other they’re literally taking custody of your child away. In who’s fucking mind are these similar? Plus if you’re going to do that much in the name of public health and safety you could justify a whole ton of other even more fucked up stuff. Because once you’ve gone that far off the deep end. Why not just euthanize all the people with disabilities or heritable diseases? Or at least force them to not reproduce. That’s less of a jump from mandated vaccines to what they’re proposing.
This is probably my favorite part.
That’s literally a joke someone would make about a tyrannical society.
I just love the lack of self-awareness from all these far-left socialists and such. “Oh something’s not perfect? Just give the government complete control of it. Because government’s have never done anything shady or awful! What could go wrong?”

I’m always surprised at the efficacy of clickbait articles. I think, no way is someone going to take this seriously and get riled up by it. And yet...

Aw hell, I’ll bite.
Where in the article did they mention taking kids away from people, exactly?

The thing though is that splinter tries to get people to take them seriously. If they want to write a satire article or something fine, but just spewing intentional hot takes isn’t gonna help their standing with anyone.

Link is at the end of the first sentence after “After the jump” Kind of easy to miss now that it’s just a light blue underline.

I didn’t miss it, and I actually read the article.
The only paragraph mentioning children of existing families mentions no such removal from said family.

Bro, the article is titled “Ban Parents” and is apart of the “Ban Week” series of articles...

Don’t take “Ban Week” seriously. It seems Splinter’s Ban Week is like when Gawker had their “Senior Week” thing when they thought Hogan was going to kill them all. They’re taking a short break from reality to write something to appears to be satire?

Spent a very brief amount of time in the fostercare system and can say that it’s not good. The caretakers are overburdened with children and(in my case) think of the children as mealtickets. I could go on

Well yeah, not from preexisting families. But taking kids away as soon as they’re born is basically the same thing.

And no, I didn’t really read your ramblings about some clickbait article. Who cares? There’s lots of toxic shit out there in the knijaverse these days. Why bite?

But see, there’s plenty of things you could make a legitimate case for banning. Like they did one one for guns. If they were consistently ridiculous it would be fine, but you can’t just mix ridiculous and reasonable ones.

I don’t think it’s satire, they did one on guns. I wouldn’t mind if they were all ridiculous but you can’t do both!

Banning guns? In the US? Hint: that’s also a joke.

Oooh I forgot about that one. The only ones I’ve bothered to read so far was the one against Spirit Airlines (a political reporter should probably avoid talking about airlines) and Ban Parents because it seemed like a silly premise. Both of them are absurd enough that they could pass as satire because of Poe’s Law.
I’ll read the gun one real quick..

But they never mentioned removing children from parents anywhere. The whole thesis was women who voluntarily wanted to bear children, receiving compensation for having done so, fertilized through IVF. Essentially making human farms.
I’m fairly certain the whole article was written tongue in cheek, but there are some distinct advantages to the idea. Starting humans off with a level playing field (environmental, socioeconomic) may well eliminate some of the inherent inequality we see in the world today. I don’t necessarily agree with the theory, but it’s hard to deny that raising a child in the world today is a different endeavor than it was even just twenty years ago.

So if we live in the matrix, does God count our sins in the Matrix against us or do they not count since they’re not real? O_O
