Nobody who is considering having kids is going to actually take any of this seriously so what’s your goal?

    “How things work” is that the entire planet has been way over carrying capacity for decades. Humans are driving the sixth mass extinction event the Earth has ever seen.

    We’re quickly running out of critical resources. Shortages exacerbated by increasing extreme weather from climate change are already destabilizing regions and causing conflict. The ongoing crisis in Syria was started by the worst drought the region has seen in almost a thousand years.

    Most of our adaptation efforts are insufficient, and it’s more common to simply not make any effort. There are way, way too many people on the planet, and decreasing the human population is one of the most rational and effective things we can do.

    If you’re looking for someone who’s reacting to all of this in a childish way, find a mirror.

      How things work is knowing that complaining about it in a far-corner of lemmy community to a bunch of people that will predictably agree with you via a meaningless upvote is not actually doing anything at all about it.

      The world won’t change regardless of how clever your memes are.

        Right, but your method, complaining about us talking about it, is a great solution.

          I’m not complaining at all. I’m pointing and laughing. There’s a marked difference.
