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.

      What is “things that are already happening”, Alex. Like your overlords are gonna give you the choice lol. You think anyone asked the horse how it felt about the car? Or the ice man when refrigerators came along, and a thousand other industries?

          Breeding “soldiers” to fight a class war or “surfs” to toil at pointless jobs? Sometimes the only winning move is not to play. Lol how do you get your Bacon? You ever get your hands dirty and slaughter a pig? Nah you drive to the the mega store in your SUV and your pjs.

            I dont think i get your point, but for that matter I am not an american, I dont eat meat and I dont have a car, never mind an SUV lol. And the winning move here is to topple capitalism, not consent to die off.

              Let me guess Hindi? Capitalism is a symptom of humanity unfortunately. Humans are a virus. Hail the great Filter.

                I am german myself, citizen of Europe’s capitalism capital. A country firmly in the grip of conservative impulses and the billionaires who play on them for their own gain. I still don’t want to roll over.

                Anyway, why do you not kill yourself then? Be done with it, do something good for the cosmos.

                Or admit that you’re just a fucking coward, too scared to keep on living and also too scared to just exit this plane of existence like your beliefs demand.

                  Ah the typical anger German. What is your nickname? Giftzwerg? The point is I had no choice in this life. I enjoy my current life and when I’m done, I’ll be done 😜. Have a bratwurst like a man and quit making your problems everyone else’s. Tell me again how many world wars did your country lose? Have you ever even held a firearm? Do you think the next big war will be fought with bullets?
