Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.

    Exactomundo. Philosophically fine, if you can find a way to make your choice not impact others.

    Another big problem is they don’t tend to vaccinate their kids either. IMHO, kids deserve a higher standard of care/protection than “whatever their birth giver thinks is appropriate.” (Medical neglect fucking sucks - try pulling off your braces with pliers lol)

      you could probably reduce the vaccination of kids problem (a small amount anyway) by applying bodily autonomy to a child’s right to get some medical treatments (without parents knowledge /consent).

        Difficult without finances. This would probably also require some sort of universal insurance program, or ways of children using insurance without their parents authorization.

        Parents can also just move you out to the middle of bumfuck nowhere - good luck finding a bus!

      Good point! The amount of crackpot “here’s how we can fix society” ideas I’ve come up with that are completely ruined by the existence of children is honestly crazy. I know “protect the kids!!” has been co-opted for some rather unsavory agendas, but it really is important, moreso even than we often consider.
