Holy shit the negativity between these two posts is disgusting. This world is far from perfect but it's not a dystopian hell scape and it's far from a lost cause.
Hop offline, touch grass, talk to your neighbors. Be the change you want to see in the world and all that instead of being the world's biggest wet blankets.
Yeah I'm shocked they literally said the best thing we could do for kids is not allow them a chance at life.
How closed minded they must be, to think everyone shares the exact same despair they do, as well as the inability or lack of creativity needed to envision a better future and a path that takes us there.
If thats the perspective they will teach their children, I really hope they prove their parents wrong.
For what it's worth I'm not judging them for their decision to not have kids. I don't care if they have kids or not. That's their choice. I'm just commenting on their incredibly fatalistic world view. When in reality, in the west at least, we have so many positive things going for us like tech advancements, healthcare/medical advancements, and the education opportunities.
It's the safest it's been in a while and even with what's happening in the middle east and Ukraine, it's one of the most peaceful times in history.
There are plenty of people in the West, especially in America, that are desperately impoverished. There are millions of people without access to any healthcare, let alone the fabulous new advancements in medicine. Education is also being torn down at the foundations by the GOP fucking with schools, and higher education is extremely expensive. You can only get a college degree with generational wealth or crushing, inescapable student loans.
I don't blame people who are not financially comfortable for being fatalistic.
