I'm hardly surprised when it comes to the Poles. We're talking about the nation that just opened its doors and gave Ukrainian refugees basically full citizen rights, including the ability to run for office, law enforcement, be teachers, etc etc (seems they, like other EU nations really have a thing for importing nazism).
People in the US (at least) have always been promised better and delivered a heaping bag of steaming dog shit, which is pissing more and more people off every day.
See, this is the kind of shit that radicalizes young people. Older generations just nonchalantly gambling their children and grandchildren's futures and losing it, and then what? Often the responsibility is shifted to the ones who lost everything due to their greed and negligence.

Gruesome Newsom on quite the streak. Still, one has to wonder if these bills only ever made it to his desk on the condition he would veto them, to tease people into harder mentality.
Maybe I'm wrong about that, but it does seem awfully convenient to legitimize a system that a passive observer would consider "working, but just one person ruined it" (if one person can fuck the whole thing, how is that viable?)
If what we do and who we are in someone else's home is really a fuckin' issue, then give us our own houses and we'll do whatever the fuck we want in the privacy of them.
Nobody wants to live with strangers anyways, and we've got shit we wanna finally be able to do without having to answer to "daddy".
We leftists don't have time, resources, or largely even the desire to have children in such a shithole. We're also way more literate than the right and have a sense of forward thinking and planning, so we understand what parenthood requires.
We have a revolution to build, and simply don't want to be tied up in parenthood and join the ranks of the rest of the miserable, dysfunctional families capitalism has forcefully cultivated. Not only that, we're always considering what our theoretical children would want, since bringing them into this world isn't just about us. Don't forget, we were/are someone's kid. What did we get out of the arrangement? A front row seat to the end of a viable future. This is what we're supposed to reproduce? This is the burden we're supposed to force on someone else who didn't consent to being born in these conditions? Fuck. That.
The only way I'd have kids is if China or the DPRK guaranteed my theoretical partner and I a secure existence will full citizen rights, that way we'd have piece of mind we couldn't be rug pulled and sent back West to fucking die. The West cannot have my children, ever.
As for your question about being worried reactionaries are having many more kids, I honestly don't worry all that much. Those type of parents tend to be abusive and sabotage their children's interests, development and aspirations, or fight against them. How many of us are products of abusive reactionary families? Don't Elon Musk's kids hate him? Proletarianization is inevitable, and history always has a Marxist bias.
The Car is the hill westerners really are going to die on. As the rising cost of energy crimps our access to treats, the ability to just do donuts in a parking lot for hours on end will become the gold standard for American success. Westerners fucking worship the damned things.
Well, that and fireworks. China has moved onto drone light shows and displays to curb unnecessary emissions and pollution, but I can't see parting with their damn "patriotic" explosives/explosions.
The top comment blames socialism. This country is so fucked
Just wait until they see China and find out it's communist building real socialism
Edit: All seriousness, though, it does suck. We've got quite the fight on our hands here, don't we.
Best we can currently do is continue organizing and increasing political, historical and cultural literacy wherever possible.
- Better jobs would affect working people positively, which would affect my profit ambitions negatively. That's an interesting idea, so it's against the rules.
