    Why did you choose to have kids knowing what kind of future they would have? This is the reason I didn’t, and also to reduce my footprint in the world. I mean even 20 years ago, it was obvious nothing was going to change. So I don’t know why somebody would willingly have children these days.

          I don’t really like this narrative where we make people feel bad about having a kid. People are allowed to have kids.

            “We need to take drastic action to avoid causing our own extinction via climate change and leave a habitable world for future generations!”

            People have kids so there will be a future generation

            😠

              The holier-than-thou attitude on Lemmy is arguably worse than reddit

                someone disagreeing with you is not holier-than-thou

            Well the guy acts surprised, like nobody has seen this coming for 50+ years and especially the last 20 years. Put some thought into having children before you do. If more people did, we wouldn’t be as deep in the shit as we are today. And people are allowed to criticise other poeple for having kids when they shouldn’t.

              Hey, this is a fair sentiment. I took your tone initially as a judgmental one, but after rereading, I think I assumed too much. Thanks for the reply

        But, bringing kids into this mess is practically immoral.

          The world has always been a mess. What’s your solution, wait until the world has solved every problem before anyone has kids? Humans would never have even evolved if that’s the plan.

          Even nature is fucked.

            I don’t have a solution. You don’t either. And those that can do anything about this shit, won’t, because it’d cost them some of their precious precious money hoard.

            Climate change is basically teetering at the feedback loop point, if it’s not already there. Inflation is out of control. Corporate profits across the board are at an alltime high. Shit’s only going to keep getting worse from here.
