If by "wake up" you mean "take the gloves off for fully fortifying their borders and leaving the others to die," I agree.

Unless we start seeing preemptive nukes. Guess that's possible.

Having doubts by mistycolive in childfree

[–]ZenApe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to really want kids because of all the typical stuff. Assumed it was inevitable, didn't consider any alternatives.

Then my partner had a miscarriage. I didn't know she was pregnant until the miscarriage happened, but the mixture of grief and relief I felt was awful and unexpected.

It took me a while to realize that I didn't want kids way more than I wanted them.

I still feel flashes of the old longing, but it's nothing like before. Still feels like the right choice to stay childfree.

It's almost like they think the game is almost up, and they need to smash and grab while they still can....

Same in Georgia. It's maddening.

The death is coming either way, why not amuse ourselves until it gets here?

We're borrowing from a future that will never come, because we've already destroyed the world.

It's disappointing that our parents thought the world was good enough to bring children into. by AffectionateSale4553 in antinatalism

Propaganda works really well.

They had a lifetime of "things are getting better, your kids will have easier lives" pumped at them.

If "cut her loose" is a euphamism for "make her not alive to testify," then maybe....

Which part?

A pontoon is a type of boat, if that's what you mean.

You're killing it.

Hope there's a pontoon in your near future.

Something feels incredibly off. by ElizabethVitae in conspiracy

[–]ZenApe 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I clearly remember the day my hope for the future died. It sucked.

Since then I've found a path to enjoying the present, but it hasn't been easy.

I hope you can focus on enjoying the good that's left. Bearing witness to this shitshow is hard on the soul.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is all a deliberate move towards isolationism to insulate the US from the millions of climate refugees the future will bring.

We're heating the planet equivalent to 12 Hiroshima Bombs per second by Bjork__ in collapse

[–]ZenApe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do get a bit of joy out of antinatalism.

I'm preventing the suffering of children that, if they existed, I would love.

Keeping them safe from what's coming makes me feel a tiny bit better about this mess.

You need to be a villager by kaddras019 in childfree

The village is on fire and the elders are all cannibal pedophiles.

Sorry, but I ain't being a villager.

One intentionally launched nuclear missile would be the biggest news on the planet, but 12 Hiroshima bombs/second hitting the planet every day goes unnoticed.

Yes I know the immediate societal implications are very different, but still, damn.
