To be fair the birth rate is falling in communist countries like Canada too.
Canada, well known communist alt-left shithole of the free world?
Like, Canada on Earth, in reality? The one we live and breath in? That Canada?
I don't have kids, but I work with them. Recently I was with a five year old and we watched a video/song about how the Earth was made. At the end, it mentioned fossil fuels and factory farms, and talked about saving our one and only planet. Fantastic message. But then the kid asked me why it said the Earth needs saving, and I wasn't prepared for that conversation.
On the one hand, it is my job to teach him, and he's going to need to know about global climate change someday. On the other hand, he's five, and I'm not sure he's emotionally ready for that topic. I boiled it down to something like "people are doing things that are harming the planet, and the song is saying that it's bad." He didn't push more, thank goodness. It was the most child-friendly way I could think of to address such a terrifying situation without actually terrifying him.
