Order A Man To Hand His Child Over To The State? Not While I’m His Captain

being a parent doesn't mean you have the best interest for children, sometimes the worst policies regarding children come from parents. The ego & selfishness to spawn a child for no one's sake but your own doesn't give you authority to make laws regarding children & single people have no say-- As if your reasons to even have a baby were so noble to begin with. "You don't have a child, I do" is not the flex people think it is. It's a poor attempt to shut someone down with the same energy you tapped into to decide have the baby in the first place: Ego, ego, thy name is Ego. People really need to check themselves. Children are not a social status for your image nor a token of accomplishment for your fragile sense of existential worth because you couldn't actually achieve a legacy in life through work. They are the casualties of our passing "wants" & materialism mentality. And the "State" reaps the benefits of the spawning cattle, ready to put the baby through every red-tape process, system and eventually wring them dry of their life-clock in the workforce. Gov. will start dictating what you say, what you see, and they will come for your kids. Not a fan of Star Trek, but this shit was ahead of it's time.

2:12 Boom, that's what most people are missing. This obligatory sense of duty, that's what's missing from a lot of people calling themselves parents. People do it just because they can, just because they want a new toy called a "baby" to spice things up, and the kid just becomes part of the routine. The missing element is duty, and necessity.
