how did we let our elders be propagandized like this? and we are literally watching them in the middle of fomenting division between the current younger generation and the rest. always with gen-z this gen-z that, they do this shit every time now, to every generation.

i bet on the next one becoming the bane of our existence because of their risky and whiny attitude and disrespect for their elders once so called gen z starts approaching their 30s. and then a lot of us gobbling it right up and slowly becoming reactionary fucks.

It also doesn't help that you used to have free roaming children. They came back home when it was getting dark outside. There was a whole community around them that would take care of them too.

Now you have to monitor your kids 24/7, push them to goals and activities or you're painted as a bad parent. There are heavy vehicles at high speed everywhere now so no more free roaming. Unaccompanied minors get reported to the police.

When the environment is actively hostile to children, it's also no wonder people have less children.

Families become smaller > less relatives to share the child care with > families become even smaller > even less relatives to share child care with > repeat.

I told the doctor that did my vaesctomy that I was doing it to fight white supremacy and they laughed during the operation 🥳 lol

Hot take: if this is the case why do developing nations have significantly higher birth rates than developed ones?

Personally, I refuse to reproduce because we're not even pretending to avoid 3+C

I won't have children just to suffer

Having kids will just drive down my wages (both directly through lost sleep, and indirectly through increased competition in the workforce).

Wouldn't selfish people want to replicate themselves?

Having kids is the single most selfish thing you can do.

People call those who don't want kids selfish. Perhaps. But what do you call someone who thinks they should duplicate half of themselves? Mother Fucking Teresa?
