For what it's worth I'm not judging them for their decision to not have kids. I don't care if they have kids or not. That's their choice. I'm just commenting on their incredibly fatalistic world view. When in reality, in the west at least, we have so many positive things going for us like tech advancements, healthcare/medical advancements, and the education opportunities.
It's the safest it's been in a while and even with what's happening in the middle east and Ukraine, it's one of the most peaceful times in history.
There are plenty of people in the West, especially in America, that are desperately impoverished. There are millions of people without access to any healthcare, let alone the fabulous new advancements in medicine. Education is also being torn down at the foundations by the GOP fucking with schools, and higher education is extremely expensive. You can only get a college degree with generational wealth or crushing, inescapable student loans.
I don't blame people who are not financially comfortable for being fatalistic.
