    People shouldn’t even be reproducing anymore is the thing. Unless the parents are millionaires those kids are completely fucked later in life

      I mean, shouldn’t this really a call for the abolition of capitalism, not the abolition of the human race?

        We’re overpopulated, so no. If the earth were healthy, not having rising sea levels detracting habitable lands, weather that wasn’t ruining crops, and the list goes on… we could easily handle this many people and more. But uh, not so much right now. Food shortages are coming.

      I understand the sentiment, but it’s entirely possible to get by without being a child of millionaires.

        I was born in the early 90s to a well off family and I’m struggling. I will never retire. Kids these days are fucked

        And we haven’t even mentioned the climate change part. Don’t have kids, please, it’s the most selfish thing you can do

        Having kids is the most selfish thing you can do. I’m never going to stop reminding people of this.
