I’m struggling with the thought of potentially bringing another person into this world in the future.
Things are so bad already and on track to get worse. Why, with this knowledge, should I have a child? Why should any of us?
I’m not asking this to be some overpopulation crazy eco-fascist but I just genuinely am wondering (and have an open mind) about what the actual implications are of bringing a child into the world right now.
By 2050 it’s pretty broadly agreed upon that things will be HORRIBLE climate wise and even worse if capitalism isn’t defeated soon. 2022 + 80 year potential life span is 2102. What will it be like then?
Why not adopt one of the billions of climate refugees instead?
I don’t know, maybe I’m way out of touch but I just can’t think of a reason to damn a child to a life like that.
Yes, and every communist able to do so should have kids because you have the opportunity to educate your children so that they question the world around them. We should reproduce our ideas through all means, because our fight is for the future of humanity, so having/adopting children is not only ethical, but in my view a duty as a communist
Adoption is difficult and you’re guaranteed a kid already with ptsd but I was adopted so pls adopt, foster families suck so so bad
