    I just got into an argument with my mom about this video. I’m Gen X and I can BARELY afford to take care of myself, so I can’t have kids. She’s 70 YEARS OLD and has to go back to work, otherwise I have to keep a roof over her head with my wages and that’s not working out anymore. But she seems to think Gen Z will have kids if they want to, that they can should have kids, talking about freezing embryos. What!? There’s probably not going to be a habitable planet in 30 years, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING? She’s always been one to bury her head and be in denial about shit, but this a level of copium I haven’t seen before. The material conditions are crumbling around you and you tell me that?!?

    Fuck.
