    The planet is on fire, the nazis are back, we’re taking leaps backwards in civil rights, genocides have become normalized, and the purchasing power of our labor has been hamstrung so many times that it’s a double amputee.

    Who the fuck looks at that dumpster fire and thinks “This is a great environment for a child!”?

        I mean, apparently that’s a lot to ask in today’s world, so your SO isn’t wrong, but having a kid for that purpose is ethically questionable, and cruel as fuck to the individual kid.

        “Sorry lil Timmy, your world is absolutely FUCKED but you’ve been chosen as a bucket of water to throw at the wild fire… good luck!”

        The idea of having a kid is just mean. Or at least whipping one up from scratch is - adopting and raising the kid to be a decent person is the best case scenario here, but that’s obviously a gargantuan undertaking that very few (absolute badass) people are willing and able to do.
