    I’ve really been feeling vindicated for my choice not to have children lately

      Yep, same. I love my non-existent children too much to bring them into a world which I only really see getting worse in their hypothetical lifetime. Also helps me have a bit more resources to support the little ones of friends and family to hopefully help their lives suck less despite what they were born into.

      More food and resources for the conservatives to multiply. Great choice in resigning the once great humanity to corrupt sociopaths 🙄

        You’re right. I will have kids so that children of conservatives don’t just get to run around the wasteland unchallenged but have to fight my kids for food and water. This will make me feel so much better.

        Such a silly argument. Contributing genetics isn’t the only way to influence future generations. I may not be a parent, but I (and many more people) educate others’ children every day.

        Just because someone doesn’t bring a kid into the world doesn’t mean they’re giving up on the future. Individualist cultures may have people thinking that nuclear families are the end-all, be-all of child-rearing, but it still “takes a village.”

          No single person can fix the system. But it can be fixed over generations

        Let them raise their children in the hellscape they created. Let them explain to their children why things are so awful. I won’t be around nor will my children have to suffer for the choices all those conservatives demanded.
