      I purposely didn’t have kids, not because they’re awful, but because of unstoppable, irreversible climate change and ecocide.

        As a parent i fully support this chance.

        One of the reasons i do have kids is because i recognise how rational people who think critically of the current world will easily adopt this logic.

        Meaning the future will be largely populated by children of people who are not capable to think critically.

        I did always have a child-wish, so maybe it’s part excuse, but it’s a strategic excuse. Either humanity has irreversibly failed or it has not yet meaning i have to try increase the chance on future our survival. (No pressure on them though, they get to decide their future and i might win hope if i am lucy)

          Idiocracy was a documentary.

          Nah fuck that, we drive 200 other species to extinction per day. The faster earth shakes off its case of humanity, the better the rest of the natural worlds chances at rebounding in a million years become.

            There are days i agree, others where discover a beauty that showcases our infinite potential.

            Regardless the doomer perspective does not help me to fix any of our problems, all it does is give me mental illness. There is a short path between lost hope and suicide ideation. So i choose to not lose hope and continue to try to do some good to push the scale.

            I like the irony in your username btw.

            Nah fuck this doomer anti-child shit. You can affect positive change on a local scale. If all the intelligent, compassionate people that understand this stop having children we’re gonna be even more fucked than we are in a few generations’ time.

                    That and the fact that the movie seems to be more of a forecast as opposed to just comedy at this point…

                    The movie is also pretty stupid (this is the point, I know), but when you see it rhyming so heavily with the current state of things - it’s only a little painful.

              I don’t know how much you know about it, but we are an extinction event. We’ve released more CO2 into the atmosphere in 200 years than at any point in the earth’s history. Thousands of times faster than any other CO2 related extinction event, including volcanoes and meteors the size of countries. I’m not worried about humans in a few generations time, because there won’t be any left.

        And awful. The last thing I could ever want is coming home from work exhausted and have to take care of a screaming child who shit itself.

        I just come home, feed my chickens, collect eggs, let the dog outside unsupervised while I leave the front door cracked so he can come in when he’s ready and crack a beer.
