The deeper tragedy is in the meme as a whole. There has been so much power, control, and hope sucked away from us... and they try to replace it with panic (usually to buy a product or lie). I would like to believe that the situation is not hopeless, and that we are not powerless...

Why is the whole world on fire? These are all mostly American problems.

I know Australia is American lite sometimes, but we also have most of these issues. Shit is going bad in a lot of places is my understanding.

And you're not even calling out the war in Europe.

Give me a break. How about the people having kids in:

  • -900,000: Whatever happened to kill off almost all humans
  • -1177: Bronze Age collapse
  • 535: Volcanic winter of 536
  • 1347-1351: Black Death
  • 1914-1918: WWI and Spanish Flu
  • 1929-1939: Great Depression and Dust Bowl
  • 1962: Great Leap Forward
  • 1943-1945: Worst killings and bombings of WWII
  • 2020: For our lifetimes. COVID and 100 other disasters. So bad most have forgotten it started with Australia burning to the ground, 1 billion animals killed.

As to racism, we watched Mississippi Burning last night. My wife isn't from America and was horrified. "Honey, that was happening when our parents were kids."

2024+: Climate change, water wars, resultant mass migration, worldwide rise of fascism.

You're right we should have stopped having children millennia ago. I wish my parents never met.

A shitty life situation has never stopped anybody from having kids. Quite the opposite, the less educated a society and the lower the prospect of comfort, the more kids people have. Poor and miserable people fuck for fun and don't care about proper contraceptives, resulting in more kids. Further more, people believe that the more kids you'll have, the more likely it is that one of them is going to end up rich and successfull.
