I’m struggling with the thought of potentially bringing another person into this world in the future.

Things are so bad already and on track to get worse. Why, with this knowledge, should I have a child? Why should any of us?

I’m not asking this to be some overpopulation crazy eco-fascist but I just genuinely am wondering (and have an open mind) about what the actual implications are of bringing a child into the world right now.

By 2050 it’s pretty broadly agreed upon that things will be HORRIBLE climate wise and even worse if capitalism isn’t defeated soon. 2022 + 80 year potential life span is 2102. What will it be like then?

Why not adopt one of the billions of climate refugees instead?

I don’t know, maybe I’m way out of touch but I just can’t think of a reason to damn a child to a life like that.

    Kamala Harris father was a Marxist and Kanye’s dad was an ex black panther. My biggest fear is having a kid and him going Kylo Ren on me politically.

        I don’t have kids but when i do would love to take a good approach because i would hate to lose them to the conditioning of this country

      It’s like that strange curse of right-wing politicians being named after Lenin
