My bloodline survived oppression, war, famines, subjugation, violent storms and many more things. I fully understand and agree that people who don’t want kids and can’t see themselves emotionally/financially supporting them should not have kids. It should be a choice and should be a passionate one and there’s nothing wrong with deciding it’s not for you. This doomsaying crap is an awful excuse though. Other than the highest form of elite in a society, there has never been a guarantee for safety or security.

Is it scary that we will be experiencing climate change and the associated catastrophic events associated with it? Yes, it’s terrifying. It’s terrifying that there will be death there will be suffering and there will be violence. It sucks that while we’ve gone through big culture shifts as a species we haven’t united over this or are making big shifts to fix it. We CAN though. We HAVE united under struggle historically. We DO survive the impossible and the terrible and while I can’t say with any absolute that most people are great, there are great people and have been those who have made a positive change.
