Joke’s on you! My kid came after I realized that capitalism is fucked and we’re probably gonna witness societal collapse within our lifetime. I wasn’t going places. I wasn’t going anywhere.
Now at least I’ve got something to look forward to.
I think that you focussmore on community. “Societal collapse” will probably be more like societal restructuring.
Empires falling is mostly only bad for the ones controlling the empire. Yes, things might get harder, but humankind will prevail and continue to find joy. Probably more joy in a post-capitalist world than I will in a capitalist one. Maybe it’s not my child who will enjoy that society, but my grandchild. But I have something to give to the next generation.
You’ll have to become more focused on community as the empire falls. but family is one hell of a community.

You look forward to your child’s immense suffering under a collapsing society?
I don’t think a societal collapse will result in suffering, but rather a better society.
Well that’s not how it usually goes but here’s to optimism I guess.
I don’t think I will ever understand this mindset.
You decided to force a child to live through societal collapse because “it’s something to look forward to”.
Yikes.
