Might be? The site itself has attacked Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (https://www.stoppopulationdecline.org/silicon-valley-pronatalists-against-wfh/) , so it's probably not funded by them. It also praises WFH, Paid Leave, Unions at the like, which makes it less likely its funded by the right.

"In fact if your social spending is geared towards having more babies, it most likely won’t be."

Except most right wing states hate any and all social spending all together, especally in the US and the UK

There is a common misconception that many women prioritize their careers over family relationships because they believe their self-worth comes from professional success. However, this myth is often perpetuated by right-wing extremists that seek to avoid addressing the need to improve material conditions for the majority.

Maybe? But it seems his fundamental premises is right wingers screaming about culutre are bad

From his Medium site, he apparently also thinks about food security in other countries

It is hard to draw conclusions, but I fail to see smoke

Next, let’s talk about British millennials. Before we assign them the blame label, it’s worth diving into some history. The birth rate in the UK has declined since 2013, and this decline isn’t floating in a vacuum. Its roots trace back to the austerity measures implemented post-2008 financial crisis. These cuts have deeply affected social care, welfare, and local government. Between 2010 and 2017, private rents soared by 24%, while social housing options dwindled. Adults, particularly young ones, found themselves either stuck with rising rents or moving back in with their parents. Combine this with the growth of precarious employment, and you get a generation deeply impacted by retreating state support and a daunting economic landscape.

You forget this part from the same article, which changes the context quite a bit

the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Israel offer lessons. These countries have managed to increase fertility rates by introducing pro-natal policies — a combination of cash incentives, subsidised childcare, and housing assistance

On the other hand, they are explicity focusing on the increase in social benefits, not anything dealing with anti-choice elements, and praised American Democrats for expanding Paid Leave and Unemployment, not to mention you guys left out this quote

If this was a right wing rag or an astroturfed group like pronatalist.org, then they would focus on culture or other nonsensical dogwhistles, but they are clearly hostile towards the right but willing to give praise to anyone who increase social spending

Surprisingly Anti-Tory, usually other papers try to give Tories wiggle room. These guys don’t give Tories any quarter

Yes, as I call them dipshits

and I pointed out 00's New Labour increased social spending, and British TFR can be even higher with a party that's proper left instead of New Labour's dipshit right

New Labour despite being dipshits did increase social spending including education during 2000 to 2008, just imagine how much higher with something a bit more proper

The part of population decline isn’t good if it’s cause is people unable to afford homes or stagnate wages.

Hell, in the UK Birthrates plummeted because of the sheer damage Tories have caused us since they took over in 2008

Actually read this, it’s more focus on how monopolies and their pricing power is the explanation for this

Don't get me wrong, I like posting from this site in part the name raise eyebrows despite the articles being shocking reliable

You would think? Shockingly nothing in this site talks about pro or anti choice. Mostly talks about anti austery, paid leave, yimby stuff, WFH, etc

Saw it on Reddit and Google News, and ended up finding my self posting from it over and over

Let's wait and see

SB-799 give Strikers the right to receive unemployment

You think Joe Manchin beloved in a God?

If he does, it’s more likely because he sold his soul to the Devil

That’s spot on, and a lot their resistance to any sort of regulation is more out of distaste that the lessers put rules on them and it’s their right to abuse others and the environment

Progress can’t be made without that understanding
