Questioning the potential quality of life of one's future offspring is Marxist? I think not doing so is selfish and reckless in this day and age.LOL
I have always had a weak stomach... especially when witnessing otherwise well-meaning people unconsciously regurgitating the Marxist pablum they were force-fed, before their brains were fully formed.
Put a left or right spin on it, it doesn't really matter. It's all population control mentality, just another rationale for the same Marxist outcome. Potayto/potahto.
If you don't want children, don't have children, but if you're afraid to have children, because you're afraid a bear or a mountain lion might eat them, or the gypsies might kidnap them, or CPS might take them away, or a family court might award custody to your bitter EX, or they might get sick and die, or the nuclear Holocaust, or the Zumba apocalypse, the Earth might get hit by a giant asteroid, or whatever global climate catastrophe du jour might happen before they grow up , that's a completely different fear-based motivation, which accomplishes nothing but population control. I've never known the left to give much of a rat's ass weather the citizenry support, for instance, taxation because they want a universal social safety net, roads and bridges and armies and police forces, just feel like they have too much damn money, or just want to soak the rich, as long as the left gets what the left wants. Marxists do not care about your motivations for helping them achieve their goal, a more manageable human population.
50,000 years ago, if your ancestors had been motivated to pull out, by the fear that only 50% of their offspring would reach adulthood, you wouldn't be here. The odds have always been exactly the same. Reproduction, and guarantee extinction, or perpetuate the species, and risk something awful happening to our offspring. I don't know what your math tells you, but by my math, that has always been a 50/50 proposition, at best, for every generation of fathers. Adam lost 100% of his first two sons, because one murdered the other, and then ran off. And, there wasn't even a CPS or Family Court, back then, nor even another man around for Eve to Monkey Branch over to.
If an Angel came to you, and told you that God will give you a good wife and four healthy children, sons and daughters, if you want them, and that they will receive the protection of God, until they are fully grown, and finally leave your house, and that no harm can come to them before then, except from your bad instruction and example, would you accept? if not, then you really don't want a family, and shouldn't have one. But, if fear is the only thing keeping you from having what you would otherwise want, I am compelled to remind you that the only purpose for such fear Is the make a man pay attention, not to make him run away.
To put it more simply, to have or Have Not should be based on To want or what not, instead of to fear or fear not.
That's what I was going on about.
The world doesn't need more people, nor do many of us need help on the farm. Overpopulation is a real concern, and probably the main cause of climate change (deforestation). The wars of the not-too-distant future will be over food and potable water.
Boomers always were a selfish breed. Need help funding your social security and pensions? Open the borders, that should do the trick...Oh, you mean to tell me that all that did was increase the permanent welfare class that will have your offspring working until they drop from old age? Huh.
Want to maximize your company's profits? Ship manufacturing overseas. I doubt that will have any effect on future generations.
The sexual revolution? Lol
But hey, boomers, cruise the country in your RVs and enjoy your twilight years.
