    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.

          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.

              Their economy has been booming.

              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
