Or they’ll blame you for roping them into this exploitative shitshow with a side of climate apocalypse, and they’ll be correct.

    I hate this so much as a leftist talking point. If the working class has no more kids all that happens is that we slowly phase out the peasants for the inevitable shift to fully automated labor, without even attempting revolution.

    Just total submission to our neofeudal masters, allowing them to effectively kill us when we are no longer needed. Like cattle.

    Have kids, if only so you have proper motivation to fight for a better tomorrow instead of this defeatist crap

      If you need your own offspring to have motivation to fix things you are definitely in it for bad reasons. I mean if you want to raise the next generation of human cattle, the machine always needs more.

      Automation would be great, actually, if we shifted society to one where your ability to survive wasn’t tied to your ability to generate profit for the wealthy, and made the whole of society based on renewable resources.
