    Oh hey, just saw your edit!

    So yeah people should really stop having kids, but I’m very aware that basically nobody actually gives a shit about the environment, the future, the wellbeing of their future kids, or even just any other people.

    And I’m not telling people how bad the future is going to be out of some sort of delusional belief that if everybody just listened to me and stopped having kids the world could heal and all would be well. Lmao, we’re long past that point, that was in like the 70’s, way before my time.

    I’m talking about climate collapse and the world ending because we’re unequivocally fucked beyond all fixing this and seeing people bringing yet more lives into the world when the future is so bleak, is fucking horrifying.

      Ah. Thats a different argument. I can understand that though I find it pessimistic. Im annoyed at people saying overconsumption is due to too many people in the world. It isnt. Its because, well, OVER consuming resources by a relatively small percent of the population.

        Yeah you’re not wrong either, but like with my gripe, there’s no possible way of changing human nature to fix or even mitigate this.

        So we’re both kinda just yelling into the void about how much our species sucks, haha.

        Edit: Although I’m not entierly sure how you think the redistribution of wealth would work without sharing resources, ngl. If you could expand on that, I’d be very interested in reading your theories.
