It's not that I don't want kids, it's more that they have created a world so fucked that I can barely even exist in it myself.
Exactly. You have to have a very comfortable life if the idea of having a kid doesn't scare the shit out of you... that or you're the type of person that doesn't give a shit about your kids.
What's it to you if I don't want the fucking effort. I'm not your fucking baby making machine. You can get all the way fucked.
Yeah, I plan on living out the rest of this fucking nightmare with the little thats afforded to me and that does not involve burdening some poor soul with consciousness in world that only wants to exploit them.
Having a job isn't being exploited
What is it?
Being productive
"Work will set you free"
I am so greatful for my father to give me the opportunity to work and be productive. My soul is full like a well fed hog. Thank you father for cum blasting mother so I can experience the joys of manual labor.
yeah ... free from life
To whom exactly? The corporation that will gladly dispose of you as a cost-cutting measure once they find a way to replace you with cheaper labor? Or perhaps instead a soon-to-be-cut government agency?
Our existence here is simply to churn out labor for somebody even if it takes up the majority of our waking hours? Sure 🥴
what are your stakes in the game? what does it cost you if you're wrong and having children does indeed turn out to be a mistake? are you gonna pay for the damages? if not, then you have no right to tell people what to do.
I'm just not going to work for their pension and I will not have my kid work for their pension
You are emblematic of the selfish mentality so many people have these days, which is a meaningful part of why I personally don’t want to have kids
As long as you take care of your own pension then it's all fine. Do whatever you want.
You should be forced to live like an average Indonesian (or Indian, Pakistani, Nigerian) for a month and see how you deal with that life.
My wife has been an indonesian all her life and her family does pretty well. She and her sisters have university degrees. Her sisters both are married, have 2 or 1 kid.
It's all pretty fine. Labour is very cheap but so is the cost of living. They barely have any old people and a high labour force. Their economy has been booming.
Maybe you should go there
I'm from India, you moron.
And how's their ecology? They're going to get hit by climate change pretty hard.
They choose a booming economy and development over ecology. Just like we did in Europe in the 1800s
Go tell them to stop developing their economy because we want everyone to be emission neutral. While we are developed enough to achieve that already.
You really like keeping people poor
Whatever dude. Stay delusional.
Stay economically illiterate
Better than being a climate change denier.
I don't deny climate change, I just accept it temporarily until world is developed enough to go emission neutral
As I said, delusional.
Will you accept it when rampant food shortages start becoming a thing, because places that used to be cultivable aren’t anymore due to climate change and pollution?
The food supply has been greatly increased in the latest 2 decades. Primary crops grew by 56% between 2000 and 2022
You have no fucking clue what you’re talking about, and you definitely have no fucking clue about what “ecological collapse” means. But you do you.
I don't see the problem if we're still able to increase the output ☺️
The point is that you won’t be able to access it, because it’s going to go away.
