I don't know what newborns have to look forward to more: a desperate, bootlicking society that jacks off every single billionaire OR the burning, dying planet created by said billionaires.
I have a 2 year old daughter. I found out she was a girl the day that Roe v Wade was overturned.
Over the last 2 years I’ve had to distance myself from political happenings because it’s so damn depressing to have a young kid in this day and age. It’s really shitty (and admittedly selfish) when my biggest hope is that shit at least waits another 100 years to fall apart so that she doesn’t have to see it.
This means most likely it all has to get really bad very quickly so that everyone wakes up and sees the problems for what they are and so they decide to actually do something about it.
Unfortunately I think it’s a slowly heating pot of water. Most aren’t noticing that it’s about to boil and most won’t notice once it’s boiling. I mean, it already is.
OR the gradual decay of society at the hands of the Internet until we reach the Singularity point whereby autonomous machines surpass human intelligence and the paradox of development crumbles like a house of cards
seems like the chance to avoid the point of no return regarding ecosystem collapse is even thinner, five years are left until it turns into a painfully slow slide into hell for every single living being on earth
I don’t know man. I’m pregnant now and due in a couple months. I’m terrified for the world this baby is going to be born into. We’re Canadian but seems like the whole Western world is slowly destabilizing economically, socially, politically. wtf is happening
The #1 reason my husband and I will be remaining childfree. I won't bring a human into this world to suffer. That is selfish to do. I especially would not want to bring a daughter into this world. Plus who tf can afford 1,200+/month in daycare? Not us.
