    My SO thinks, “We need more people like us”, as if we’re upstanding citizens lol. I mean, we oppose morally deficient nazis, as all nazis are, but otherwise…meh.

      oppose nazis

      I mean, apparently that’s a lot to ask in today’s world, so your SO isn’t wrong, but having a kid for that purpose is ethically questionable, and cruel as fuck to the individual kid.

      'Sorry lil Timmy, your world is absolutely FUCKED and now it’s on you’ve been chosen as a bucket of water to throw at the wild fire… good luck!"

      The idea of having a kid is just mean. Or at least whipping one up from scratch is - adopting and raising the kid to be a decent person is the best case scenario here, but that’s obviously a gargantuan undertaking that very few (absolute badass) people are willing and able to do.

        Given that we live in New Mexico, where wildfires occur yearly and just get worse, that’s an apt metaphor. In fact, we’re getting a bit of smoke now from one. Yay…
