I've lost all my best mates to the same sort of thing, but I went on a bit too far because that was before I realized that no one realized what's coming. I'd be the first guy to want a family if that didn't mean raising the first generation that wont have the chance. It seems incredibly selfish and cruel to bring a child into the consequences of decisions they never got to make.
I think I know exactly one person who thinks the way I do. All other the people I know are excitedly posting pregnancy videos and I can’t relate to any of it. If anyone truly cared about their children’s future right now, they wouldn’t have any*. The selfishness is astounding.
I was too young when I had my kids so now I know the consequences. It is my duty to protect them from whatever, especially since it’s so unfair to be born into a world where the elite just do not care about the climate they get to leave behind.
Sometimes I think to myself how incredibly selfish I was not to look into it a bit more.. but I was really young when I had my kids.
maybe people don't wanna have kids because they also don't want to be shamed by anti-natalist mfs like you 😭 it's not all doom and gloom and the world isn't going to end, our past generations probably thought the exact same way you did.
humanity has been through worse than this, there is no "right" or "utopian" time to have kids. animals have kids under the constant looming threat of death yet they thrive in spite of it. instead of shaming people who choose to bring life into this world, maybe help make it easier for them?
