The French nationals going 'childfree' to save the planet
France 24 ^ | 07/11/2021 16:12 | Bahar Makooi

“Having a child would be totally against my principles. I’ve never wanted children and am more certain of this decision the older I get,” says Manon, 26. “I don’t see why I would impose another consumer on this world. In the Western world, we consume more than the resources available,” she adds.

Like Manon, more and more young adults are deciding not to have children for environmental reasons. Online they call themselves “childfree” or even “ginks” — short for “green inclinations, no kids” — and they staunchly defend their decision not to have children. World Population Day, which falls on July 11, serves as another reminder of the world’s ballooning population.

Why have children when you can just import Muslim families to fill the gaps?

This adds a new meaning to Mark 8:36:
And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?

That’s what the above-mentioned Anna Bogen is arguing. (Yes, she looks a lot worse without the makeup; I looked.)

The French will become a minority in their own country sooner than I expected.

They already are killing themselves. The Muslims will do it, soon enough.

There was never anything great about France, just ask the French - if you can find one.
