Every movie has a bad guy and a good guy. Simple stories for simple people.

Well you can have them, then just say "screw them" cause you got your own problems to deal with as western society would prefer you act.

Their only purpose is to support you when you get old anyways. Everyone knows that.

Honestly if I have a kid it would only to raise them to be a post apocalyptic war lord and hopefully give them a tragic enough backstory to survive the wasteland on.

What the fuck? Like abuse the shit out of them to toughen them up?

I know you're not being serious but damn what do you mean by this?

Our parents and grandparents had kids - depending on your age - when there was a world war and tens of thousands of people were dying daily in their country, or in the 50 years where the world was always on the brink of getting destroyed in a nuclear apocalypse if one of the two world powers made the wrong move. Were they dumb?

Not to downplay on the current emergencies which are existential and terrifying, especially seeing how little as a species we are doing to address them - but they are a bit of a silly reason not to have kids.

If you don’t want kids don’t have them, you do you :) far too many people have children out of peer or societal pressure or just carelessness, and we could really use much fewer of those, considering the societal damage of absent or careless parenting. But just be honest with yourself, no need to blame viruses and “no toilet paper”.
