    While I believe the end of the world is still a few generations away, judging someone for their decision to not have kids makes you seem like a pro-natalist conservative.

    The world sucks for more than half of the entirety of its population. Only privileged Westerners believe there aren’t any existential problems on the horizon.

      For what it’s worth I’m not judging them for their decision to not have kids. I don’t care if they have kids or not. That’s their choice. I’m just commenting on their incredibly fatalistic world view. When in reality, in the west at least, we have so many positive things going for us like tech advancements, healthcare/medical advancements, and the education opportunities.

      It’s the safest it’s been in a while and even with what’s happening in the middle east and Ukraine, it’s one of the most peaceful times in history.
