I’m not an anti-natalist nor am I planning to have children, but I am generally interested if there is a good reason to have children.
It is obvious that capitalism makes it hard to raise kids but even without capitalism, is there a good reason to bring new humans to earth?
I don’t know am I caring too much?
It’s a foundational human desire that brings great joy and I believe everyone should deserve a chance to experience it should they choose. The fact that capital makes it hard for the poors to reproduce just emboldens me in regards to this. That mindset implicitly says that only the bourgeoisie should reproduce. Fuck that noise, I say. They’ve already coopted all luxuries and pleasure from this world, they’re not going to steal the joy of parenthood from me too.
