I think it’s stupid and worrying that their ideas are gaining traction.

I am not opposed to people not having children or representing themselves as a block, but the idea that having kids is bad is just plain dumb.

My own experience in life makes it reek a lot like mental health issues in those who are antinatalists.

    otherwise they become other people’s problem.

    I mean yes, but also if people want to retire they need a workforce to keep society running, no? This is not me advocating for having kids, but for society helping raise kids.

      Sure, if we had governments who cared for the wellbeing of their citizens, and companies that paid fair wages, but sadly we are just “human capital” or “human resources”. I’m not contributing to that.
