It’s almost shameful to want to have children
LA Times ^ | Jade S. Sasse

Posted on 09/15/2024 6:14:23 AM PDT by MNDude

In 2021 and 2022, I conducted a series of interviews on this topic with millennials and members of Generation Z, all of them people of color. Some grew up in low-income families and neighborhoods while others were from the middle- or upper-middle class. Some of them identify as queer, or their close family members and friends do, which shapes their sensitivity to discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people.

Their experiences as members of marginalized groups have shaped their experiences with climate emotions like anxiety, fear, and trauma — as well as hope and optimism. Paying closer attention to those emotions and mental health in communities of color, including how they shape reproductive plans, will become an increasingly important component of climate justice in the United States.

Leftists: “ There’s no room for more people!”

Me: “It’s my job, as a father, to MAKE room for my family…”

“It’s wrong to have children”
“Taylor Swift wants children”
“We should all have children”

Hive-minded inane fools

Yep, and that’s the state of our civilization today... I think we might have peaked quite awhile back.

Margaret Sanger’s dream realized!

Not quite . . . hers was a straight Eugenics play, and all these folks have college degrees in Sustainability or similar. The Birth Control Leagues motto was "More from the fit, fewer from the unfit". Except for the non-northern Europeans in the survey, whom she would consider "unfit", she would be okay with the "right" people having some children.

LOL, example of who was interviewed, as if they're experts on demographics, "climate change," and economics:

"Bobby, 22, considers himself an environmentalist. He recently graduated from college in Southern California with a degree in sustainability studies. His family is Guatemalan American.

His current job is at a restaurant, where he is unhappily employed. 'There’s so much being wasted that could be returned to the earth.'"

How profound! We should all be taking note from this expert.

I'm perfectly happy with leftists like this not breeding and hopefully, dying out, they'd be doing the rest of us a great favor.

I cannot wait for the day it’s legal to hunt people like the author of this tripe with packs of baying hounds. Give them a 30 minute head start, then let the fun begin.

I say let liberals breed themselves out of existence. There will be a temporary dip in total population, but as the children of conservatives grow up and have their children we will replace all the lost liberals within a couple of generations and the world will be better off.

Spirit of antichrist infecting the Godless, sometimes resulting in Reprobates.

Their “cause” is their “religion”

It’s all one big scam to reduce the population.
