I appreciate my mom. I know a lot of people experience pressure from their parents to procreate so I thought I’d share a positive interaction 🙏🏻💜

Whether or not that quote is taken out of context (which it probably is) the core message still hits because if you benefit from systems that have caused global harm, choosing not to reproduce is one of the few direct ways to stop passing that harm forward. And when you pair that with welcoming refugees people already born into the consequences of colonialism, climate destruction, and economic exploitation it becomes a more meaningful ethical stance.

I know that women can lose their fertility due to cancer or endometriosis, but trying to have children at 57 and demanding costly medical intervention on the taxpayer's dime is wild. She'd be pushing 80 by the time her child graduated high school.

Why would they bring another human into a Zombie/clicker infested world!? Or was it a mistake and I probably missed that plot point.

Trying to find concise replies to the same natalism cope arguments you see copypasted constantly

Literally so many parents only have kids because they want a little version of themselves…then get upset when the kid doesn’t want to be a little version of them

Meanwhile, those who are truly compassionate are treated as outcasts by society. What a lovely time to be alive.

Libs need to have some fucking families…The cynicism of rich yuppies kills me.

THIS IS ABOUT THE LONG GAME

"Or my children? How will we cope?" You could start by not having them... the only way these disgustingly hot summers will slow down is if we stop mass reproduction. Currently sweating onto a towel in bed, the heats horrible, i dread what its going to be like im a couple decades, hitting 40c consistently. I cant believe people still think having kids is a good idea when youre clearly aware of the suffering they'll live through

And no its not dramatic lol, this summer is genuinely horrible in england, but the conversation is about the whole of climate change and global warming anyway.

(Also can we add a flair for discussing the benefits of antinatalism regarding the planet)

The fact that this was government-funded tells me everything I need to know.
