Or they’ll blame you for roping them into this exploitative shitshow with a side of climate apocalypse, and they’ll be correct.
Oh yeah, the world will be so much better off when only the stupidest people are having kids.
Although if you take your advice from a meme, I suppose nothing of value would be lost.
at least they won’t be mine and I won’t have wasted my life raising them. They can go ahead and ruin it all for themselves.
Neither my nonexistent kids nor I owe a world with shmucks like you, jack shit.
That’s the problem isn’t it? You parasites who think they owe the world nothing and can just take whenever they want without giving back.
Nobody asked us if we consented to existing but just like with pit bulls, the solution is to stop breeding, not to kill them off. I owe nobody anything and I’m actually being very kind not to demand wha this owed to me by my parents since I do understand they didn’t know any better.
It seems like you’re saying that the only way to give back to society is by having children. So people who don’t want kids or who can’t have kids are parasites?
Sounds like a white supremacist talking point to me.
Oh fuck off.
Literally no one has made this about race except you.
Eugenics is bad science, that includes the myth smart people have smart kids or dumb people have dumb kids.
Sure, but chances are low that uneducated people are going to great lengths to make sure their children are well educated.
One of the most horrifying things I’ve encountered in my career as a teacher was a father who insisted that his incredibly bright high school senior not accept a college scholarship because, and I quote: “I didn’t go to college, and you’re not better than me.”
It’s usually the opposite, as long as the uneducated parent isn’t financially successful. If they are then your anecdote does tend to happen, and is generally a good thing in the US and other despotic hell holes as making money is far more important than education.
My non-educated family all insisted that I go to college. As of now, I am the only one of my grandparents’ descendents who has a university degree. And that includes the generation after mine (my cousins’ children).
My experience as a teacher has given me a glimpse into other people’s lives that shows me how very fortunate I was to have a supportive family.
You don’t have to believe my anecdotal evidence, but my time working with low-income students has shown me that a surprising number of parents are absolutely dead-set against higher education for their kids. It doesn’t make sense, but a lot of things in the US don’t make sense right now.
I hate this so much as a leftist talking point. If the working class has no more kids all that happens is that we slowly phase out the peasants for the inevitable shift to fully automated labor, without even attempting revolution.
Just total submission to our neofeudal masters, allowing them to effectively kill us when we are no longer needed. Like cattle.
Have kids, if only so you have proper motivation to fight for a better tomorrow instead of this defeatist crap
If you need your own offspring to have motivation to fix things you are definitely in it for bad reasons. I mean if you want to raise the next generation of human cattle, the machine always needs more.
Automation would be great, actually, if we shifted society to one where your ability to survive wasn’t tied to your ability to generate profit for the wealthy, and made the whole of society based on renewable resources.
Not having kids cuz I’m not especially fond of the idea of throwing the poor little shits into the dumpsterfire we’ve made our world. That and I don’t want to pitch my offspring as ammo into a breeding war against the Nazis/cultists/idiots. They can have it.
I don’t trust humanity with my offspring. Especially not the people who demand more people in this world. They have to be sadists.
I intend on adopting (in a distant future if I’m ever financially and psychologically stable). Lots of kids who have already been born could use a loving family.
Oh, just fuck right off. If you don’t want children, just don’t have children and shut up about it instead of making yourself feel superior by making it a moral thing. And if you’re actually just concerned about them ending up in the meat grinder of exploitation, get organized to rid the world of the capitalists and save all the children from that fate. Stop whining about how terrible the world is and start making it better.
Antinatalism was huge with techbros on Reddit, sad to see it’s here too.
its like i found my people. while also against pro-creating, i’m pro-abortion too. if we could cause extinction, we could be heroes.
God, would then be forced to create a world worth living in. unless we stop him from doing this to us, we will be forced to return.
All this has happened before, and all this will happen again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again…
I just don’t want anyone new to come to this atrocious world.
