Australia has up to 2 million more dogs than it has children. As a culture, and like most other nations on Earth, we’re dying out. Our birth rates are at terminally low levels. Cost is often given as a reason for this. But people can find a fortune for their dogs and other pets, and for recreational activities. Australians spend over $20 billion per year on their pets, mostly on dogs. It’s a cultural shift. It’s kidult culture, again. We prefer pets to children. Pets are pliable, and dogs in particular lavish us with unconditional love without all the difficulties children introduce to our lives. That unconditional love is fake by the way. It’s a dog-pack loyalty thing. Your loving dog will happily savage non-family/pack members, in the right situations. If a virus developed that posed great risk to the long-term health of dogs, kidult culture would fall over itself to protect the dogs. Covid is that long-term risk for our children, and what does kidult culture do? Absolutely nothing. It actually celebrates doing nothing, it infects them with relish. It won’t even vaccinate children for Covid, because it thinks infecting them protects the kidults from harm, through fake population immunity. As a culture, we don’t give a fuck about children. Kidults bizarrely hate children, because adolescents hate adult responsibility. We love platitudes about them, but as an educator, i can tell you firsthand every second in our schools proves the zero fucks we give about kids. But we LOVE our dogs. Fascists aren't taking over the world. Teenagers already did.
