No. I want peace and quiet.

if people weren't aware, raising children is used as a political strategy of fascism historically and presently. look up the "quiver full movement"

whereas on the left there are tons of people that refuse to have children, maybe because it's a hell world especially for intentionally marginalized folks (who are of course disproportionately leftists). or maybe they are associating overconsumption and overpopulation propaganda with their individual choices. or maybe they hate the institution of marriage and family and it's state construction too much. idk

but then, there are literally people who hate children?? and they're moreso on the left. okay good luck with hating a defenseless and innocent little being i'm sure that'll bring more unity to our struggle

point is, the right has a concerted strategy on social reproduction. the left does not, and even sabotages it. the working class is alienated from their own determination of social reproduction. this is a key material concern that has divided along class lines through raw numbers.

I feel as leftists we need to be much more accommodating to familial struggle. I don't feel stable to have family either, so to me helping create power to benefit working families is a crucial tactic, regardless if I ever have one myself. we need to be in control of our social reproduction because it's literally an act of survival, and the people who want to end us know that as well.

Sorta related topic to those with fear of raising kids in a dangerous world, when was the world safe to have kids?

Now it's wild to think about not too long ago, parents would go in with the mindset not all of their children would make it and that was completely normal. Thankfully now (or for now) our kids won't loose their legs from a disease like polio or a factory accident, so we don't need to worry about them being in harms way. I think what is happening currently, is the younger generations are at a time where living conditions are starting to go down in the core and that completely shatters our vision of what our kids future would look like.

While a dangerous world won't stop us from having kids, it'll take a bit for gen z to get used to the prospect of a dangerous future and especially as we mature into adulthood and away from being terminally online. Also the nuclear family isn't as embedded in heads as time progresses so it's hard to say what "families" would look like.

If you feel like you shouldn't have kids then don't have kids, its understandable. But don't be those people who judge others for having children in a dangerous world, cause you and I wouldn't be here if that was the end all be all decision for humanity.
