Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Thursday that teenagers now have less sperm and testosterone than 65-year-old men.

    1. He said the country is under birthing, its American duty to bring those numbers up.
    2. Younger generational males are too weak to take on the duty.
    3. Women are reaching fertility 6 years younger.
    4. Older men 65+ are better capable of doing duty.

    There is a narrative here folks, and it’s all sorts of wrong.

      Who would want to make a kid in this right wing corrupt pedophiliac capitalist anti-environmentalist hellhole we’re living in?

      Sounds like child abuse even thinking about doing it.

    yeah I’m sure THAT’s the reason no one is having kids and not the fact that no one can afford to house said kids, or can afford to feed an extra mouth or two, or afford everything else thats involved in raising a child.

    yeah, got it, the sperm count is down.

      He looked about him, felt the air, looked deep within, and came to the clear realisation that what the people really deserve and crave in this political moment, is clarity and leadership on doing big cums

      Hey now, RFK wasnt sucking them off exactly, he was testing to make sure they were circumsized, and that they had a healthy sperm count. He can also tell if the kids are healthy just by looking at them. Naked, obviously.

      Yeah, because if people aren’t fucking and producing kids then they lose labor and potential profits. They also lose the help of the youngsters to ensure that they have all the lovely care to make their passing as wonderful as it can be.

      It’s fucked.

    When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today, it is 1.6%. The replacement rate, in other words the amount of fertility that you need in order to keep your population even, is 2.1%. We are below replacement right now. That is a national security threat to our country and we know why this is happening, and President Trump is addressing the root causes through his MAHA agenda of reducing endocrine disruptors, the exposure to chemicals that decrease fertility.

    You can’t debate that. Mostly because it’s just illogical altogether. It would like trying to convince someone that pasta doesn’t taste like clay bricks. There’s no logic to the initial argument, you can’t logic that away.

      He’s got a bit confused. It’s the birth rate, and it’s not a percent. You need a birth rate of 2.1 per person to keep the population steady. It’s nothing to do with fertility, but more personal choices, like when a couple look around and think “nah, I’m not going to subject my kids to these fucking idiots”.

        If I wasn’t already not having kids I definitely would have done it just to spite Paul Ryan

      Yeah. Leaving aside his getting the units wrong, he’s interpreting the fertility rate as is it’s a direct measure of sperm viability. There might be a causal connection between the two, but conflating them like RFKJ does is idiotic.

      Is this AI generated? It seems like such a string of random elements… I can’t help but being impressed somehow. Like, wow, this pigeon really succeeded in shitting all over the chessboard!
