I can think a couple of reasons.

I can't afford it, and also am contemplating whether having children who will almost surely experience a near apocalyptic shift in climate is moral.
this is mostly it for me. If my retirement plan is dying in the climate wars aged 50, what does that mean for a kid born this year? die in the climate wars aged 20-25? the new generation understand summer as "forest fire season", it's the new normal and they don't know anything before. I can't imagine the despair as they grow older.
My rent is literally increasing $500 in the next lease and these motherfuckers are wondering "wHy nO kIDdS" fuck outta here :disgost:
Turns out when you dgaf about rent seekers you can just house people :cap-think:
There are many reasons, but people who grew up with boomer parents know how horrible it can be for the child if their parents have kids on a whim.
from my own experience with family I can tell you that the most appropriate reason to have children is to try and fix your marriage
I had a friend whose ex thought she could finally get him off heroin for good if they had a kid.
Now they have a kid with no dad because he's off doing heroin god knows where. Truly conservative brainworm hours.
I mean if I'm being totally cynical and honest here, I think some of it is that ours is the first generation to not have quite as much social peer pressure into having kids and we're all collectively realizing that unless you REALLY want them it's kind of a raw ass deal. Like putting the obvious issue of cost aside, even if we had full fucking socialism and having a kid cost nothing, it's basically shitting out a tumor you're chemically addicted to that you have to dedicate all your life energy into caring for because if you fuck up one thing it will turn into a demon hell spawn creature that hates you and will go on to make other people's lives a living hell.
I don't blame people for just wanting a fucking cat.
will never know the smallest amount of security in life gang
nothing to do in my shitty hyper-atomized neighbourhood gang

Oh yeah fill me with your microplastic jizz bby I'm gonna have me an action figure baby. :panting:
in a deleted chapter from The Road, the man and the boy pass by what was once an NPR writer fused to the molten asphalt screaming WHY DON'T THE MILLENNIALS HAVE CHILDREN
What is he, papa?
A sad man. Don't think about it. There's nothing we can do for him.
Sucks the only people having kids in the future are gonna be wacko right wing religious types. Hopefully their kids are rebellious
Gee, somebody get Sherlock fuckin' Holmes on this shit... 🙄
They literally can't see the truth. They've made themselves objects in service to systems, defined their entire self and conscience in terms of these systems and making the place they've carved out in them "okay". If you show them the truth in brutal undeniable ways, like the capital police, they, best case, just kill themselves. They don't know how to turn, how to do the right thing.
Maybe there's a way to teach them? I don't fucking know. The timings would be a bitch, getting them some serious theory as a matter of life and death in between when they get the horrible awakenings and when they Switch to an all lead diet.
Making a few guesses before I open the article: children are expensive and even when people want them there are microplastics in the placenta
Myself, and a surprising amount of of my female friends have "polycystic ovary syndrome." Which apparently makes having kids harder (don't worry about me, I've never wanted kids). I wonder if microplastics is the cause?
It’s probably a complicated collection of factors. But I know several people with this as well. Two of them want to have kids more than anything else in the world and it’s been very difficult
It's heartbreaking when it's someone that really wants to have kids :sadness:
Definitely has no reason to do with how expensive it is to exist, let alone care for another human being.
Whenever experts can't figure something out I picture two people in a lab in labcoats stroking there chin and looking pensive and they have to stay and do that until they have an idea.
The correct conclusion to draw from this is "cool good for them I guess", correct? Because I feel like a lot of right-wingers would take that last sentence as intrinsically horrifying
Who gives a shit what they think? Fuck them. They're the ones being replaced.
And we only have to do this once, and it's done. No more chuds, no more Trump voters. Gone. Forever.
I dont really think its as simple as that. Simple demographic shifts will not dismantle the systems that churn out reactionaries.
That's a very good point. The white supremacists in Amerikkka changed the definition of white to allow Irish and Italian people to be white, it's not impossible that Europeans will start considering North Africans and certain Middle Eastern people to be white also.
Americans used to consider Levantine people white because to not do so implies Jesus isn't white either. A Lebanese dude used that reasoning in court so he doesn't get deported and it WORKED. A reverse Uno card for anti-Asian racism lol.
Arabs are still considered White in the census but Arab-Americans want that changed.

*ranting about white genocide*
:PIGPOOPBALLS:
Your literally talking about genocide. GENOCIDE! You think colonization was okay, what’s the fucking difference between that and what your describing
Genocide is when white women don't want to touch your pp. The less white women touch your pp, the more genocidal it is.
Your ancestors moved mud around all day and half of them died shitting themselves to death.
lol triggered cracker alert :farquaad-point:
The teacher who will be teaching the kids you'll never have will be named Farouk, get used to it cumskinYour literally talking about genocide. GENOCIDE!

Okay, but have you tried posting your hog? We want to see the goods
I'll stop saying it when you finally grow a spine and post it.
We only care about hog so post it or gtfo
No one came to see my ugly ass face, they want your hog
Show us the ham :feral-hog:
Why do you keep avoiding it? Is your hog malnourished?
I'm gonna do it even more now that I know it pisses you off
:horsepoo-theory: :PIGPOOPBALLS: :pigpoop:
Now stop changing the subject and give us that sweet bacon, sugartits
I know we aren't supposed to dox ourselves but you owned me so much that I just had to post my face to prove you wrong.
Simple demographic shifts will not dismantle the systems
the inevitable refugee migration from all across the mediterranean and central asia will though
There wouldn’t be a refugee crisis if Libya, Iraq, and the whole Middle East and North Africa weren’t destabilized.
hm I wonder who did that
All it takes to stop a migration crisis in the future is too pull out
ah yes, I'm sure the trillions of extra tons of carbon in the atmosphere will decide to fuck off on their own and not desertify the Mideast even further
yea that sucks too. and will partially contribute to a large exodus of people from Central Asia.
based. offend chuds as much as possible.
LMFAO the 4channer below me
A world where no one identfies with an inherently racist codification of human beings is indeed what we're fighting for yes :fidel-si:
Look at this thumb-headed dweeb, you can just hear the gears grinding in his head :che-smile:
dude it's not my fault white people collectively decided to get ethnically replaced
we live in the free marketplace of

Could you honestly describe the ideology
All left wing revolutionary tendencies welcome. No sectarianism.

i'll also call you fucking stupid and unable to have perspective
All my favorite authors, musicians, and artists would be gone.
How many of you are cheering on your own destruction?
When a brown immigrant crosses the border, an innocent white person somewhere in the country instantly turns into a puff of smoke, never to be seen by their loved ones again. This is the tragedy of white genocide. :powercry-2:
If the migrants rolled in with enough cash to buy out a whole city from under the Europeans feet then it might be a problem. But then they wouldn't be migrants would they.
poor into Europe
I see what you did there.
And the property? The oh so important property
Yo, if this is a bit I'm absolutely in awe of it. Won't someone, please, think of the property! :michael-laugh:
Africans and Asians ... couldn’t fill the same roles, factory workers, farmers, builders.

Really wild to see a comment like that get so many upvotes here
How can someone look at a planet of over 7 billion humans and think "Oh no, we're not having enough babies!"

Capitalism continues to eat itself
I'm sure the mayos will assimilate this information in a healthy and constructive way
The whole thing is called a conspiracy theory, so it's keeping a lid on it until it becomes too great to ignore, by which time it will be far too late to do anything about it.
please god, just do a crumb of material analysis i'm fucking begging you
hmmmmmm im sure the eastern bloc has absolutely no evidence that could answer this question
