I can tell you’re one of the people who never fights back because it’s easier to surrender.
I don’t think it’s good or helpful to make conclusions about that person.
It’s reasonable to not bring children into a bad economy… if you can afford to not have them and have lots more to fulfill you.
It’s not reasonable, though, to go around judging people by whether or not they have had a child because of a situation that is totally out of control. Palestinians would easily lose the fight when outnumbered. No one is making “soldier babies” or anything like that – these are just children who deserve a good existence and not an open-air prison.
This person doesn’t want kids, kudos to them, I can’t wait for the day when the last human goes extinct but this is a totally different issue.
So who will be the one to blame?
A normal human being getting married and having kids VS a genocidal ethnostate that wants to ethnically cleanse the natives of the land?
Would it have been morally wrong for Jews during Nazi Germany to have kids? Maybe Anne Frank should have just not been born so we can prevent her suffering?!? Come on.
First of all, thank you Snek for having a reasonable and adult discussion. And thanks to whoever cleaned up this thread (my shit included, even if the wafflehouse bit was hilarious).
I’m not really looking at this as who to point a finger at. In terms of having kids, it’s a risk/reward analysis. This is just my opinion, and I’ve never implied it’s the only right answer. But me personally; if I was living somewhere under threat of being attacked, I would not feel comfortable bringing a child into that environment.
If someone brings a child into the world and someone else dropped a bomb on that child, would I say it’s the parents fault? No, of course not. Will that parent be devastated? Yes. Will that parent have put blood, money and love into something that’s how gone? Yes. Will that parent spend the rest of their life feeling guilty about what happened? Probably. Do I personally want to put myself into that position? Hell no!
But that’s me and my opinion. Like I said earlier, parenthood is hard as it is right now. Nevermind climate change…
Calm down man, at least on the second point. Having a kid is essentially a one-way ticket, let’s encourage people being sure they can be a quality parent.

Thanks for clarifying
Me too, I wouldn’t either (heck I’m not even having kids in normal circumstances)
Climate change is also another (quite good) reason to clean up the planet and empty the orphanages first…
