I don't want a kid to suffer the long-term effects of climate change, shitty economic circumstances resulting from globalization under capitalism, etc.

In a better world, maybe. Not this one.

Ditto.

These are the type of people who shouldn't be reproducing. So their doing the world a favor technically.

There has always been doom and gloom for the future

Within your lifetime, people who deny climate change will be considered fringe weirdos on par with moon landing deniers.

I mean, you already are, it's just not apparent to you yet.

What so they grow up and it's like 1 degree hotter in the peak of the summer for them? That's really your biggest concern huh

This. Climate change hysteria is nothing new

kids are far more likely to inherit the values of their parents than their parents

so they're basically ensuring that concern about the future state of the environment dies with them

ironic really

Your people are already oblivious hypocrites sprouting feelz good enviremental nonsense to others while utilizing all the harmful amenitys to said environment of modern day.

Maybe y'all will catch on to this hypocrisy and return to the bronze age for the betterment of the world....or maybe not. Likely the latter.

BC times: "I shouldn't have a kid because my village can get raided and destroyed by barbarians any second"

700 AD: "I shouldn't have a kid because the Romans will abuse them"

Middle ages: "I shouldn't have a kid because black plague"

1600s: "I shouldn't have a kid because he might get captured and sold into slavery"

1800s: "I shouldn't have a kid because typhoid fever and dysentery and other shit"

1900s: "I shouldn't have a kid because global warfare"

1960s: "I shouldn't have a kid because nuclear bomb going off any second"

I certainly wouldn't want to bring any more innocent people into this s*** hole of a world

More humans means more pollution and carbon emissions.

Its simple to understand.

Nah we don't need more people on this planet at all. Get this shit back down to like 8 billion and then go from there.

Sounds like First Reformed.

basic fear about birthing a disadvantaged person who might depend on the parent more than contribute to the parent, because of climate?
---

I don't deny climate change and humanity's effects on it.

What I laugh about is at anyone seriously thinking they can do something about it.

We're past the point of no return, the world will keep going on, with or without us, we will all be extinguished, and in a few million years, life will sprout once again.

there isn't anyone who actually doesn't want kids because of climate change. there are only people who don't want kids, period, and who use "i don't want to bring a kid into this fucked up world" as a scapegoat.

This is what it really is. Anyone who really wants kids will have them, but the ones who don't get to act like they're saving the planet, or saving their child from a fate worse than death. "I'm making this sacrifice because it's the moral thing to do". Give me a fucking break.

If you thought the planet was going to hell, would you have kids?

It is not like people have good reasons for having kids.

Reason 1: oops
Reason 2: pass on my DNA cuz instincts
Reason 3: my life is empty and I need to fill the void with something

the well guy probably is great at well related things, and wondering why the current society has well guys at all. the bundle of sticks guy is allowed to exist because the well guy lives in a well

I don't want kids, but you did bring the other group that I didn't address, those that truly believe the planet will be uninhabitable in 10 years, that existence will be pain when that time comes. To them I say you aren't the first people in the last 100 years to not have kids because you think the world will end in 10 years.

But to answer the question, yes, I'd have them. But it's kind of hard for me to answer since I don't think the world is going to hell.

A mature person would have responded with an actual reason beyond those I listed and explained why I was incorrect. But here we are.

you're unironically asking a question about what people who "thought the planet was going to hell" would or wouldn't do, and you're complaining about the multiple levels of dumb on someone else's post?

No, I'm not asking people, I'm asking you. I stated it clearly and directly, try reading.

You got the BC and 700 explanations backwards.

Would be better than globalization under socialism. Then you'd really have nothing.

You're all fear mongering anyway. Everyone always believes they're living in the worst of times but guess what. You're not lol.

Republicans Have More Kids Than Democrats. A Lot More Kids.
https://www.fatherly.com/health-science/republicans-have-more-children/

Liberals are not having enough babies to keep up with conservatives. Arthur Brooks, a social scientist at Syracuse University, was the first to point this out all the way back in 2006 when he went on ABC News and blew blue staters minds. The political Right is having a lot more kids than the political Left, he explained. The gap is actually 41 percent. Data on the U.S. birth rate from the General Social Survey confirms this trenda random sample of 100 conservative adults will raise 208 children, while 100 liberal adults will raise a mere 147 kids. Thats a massive gap.

This is pretty much my thought as well.
If you don't want to have kids, don't have kids, there's nothing wrong with that. Trying to bring climate issues into it seems weird.
