      It's because the culture pressuring you just wants a constant stream of warm bodies to swell the population to keep the economy chugging along and doesn't give a shit if each of those new generations of humans is more miserable than the lasthttps://twitter.com/Alix_Dreams1/status/1331472645825630209 …

      I hear news abt young adults spending more time working, going to therapy, and just focusing on themselves instead of having kids like it’s a bad thing?? People just wanna be happy and not being okay is more talked about so why’s it bad when people put themselves before babies?

      People ask "How can I possibly be *selfish* to put my own needs before the needs of children who don't exist? How is it selfish to think they're better off not existing than existing in a bad situation?" They don't care about you or the kids They speak with the voice of Moloch

      Breeding cult mentality doesn't think of the welfare of individual humans, or even the aggregated welfare of humans as a group It's loyalty to an abstraction - to Capital, to the United States, to the Global Economy, to the Human Race, to Putting a Human Footprint on Mars etc

      It's a goddamn false god that cares only about its own abstract glory - fecundity enough to fill the universe with human bodies and build shopping malls and parking lots as a monument to its power And its priests see you and your children as only fuel to burn in its belly

      (I feel the need to wax effulgent with the purple prose here because, well, the cultural conservative side of this argument has tons of purple prose on their side and they deploy it ruthlessly)

      ("You come from a chain of ancestors, a bloodline lasting thousands of years, and you're going to let it sputter to a halt to do what? Backpack through Europe? Play video games? Spend 40 years 'finding yourself' and die?" Such arguments still do succeed in making me feel bad)

          We are coming up on 8 billion of us. Seems like it'd be sensible for not wanting kids to be at least okay at this point.

          Only people who truly want children should have them. They are expensive and messy and bring home every cold from school. What makes it possible is wanting them and loving them. Resenting them is bad for both parent and child. If *you* don't want a child, don't feel bad.

          I’d say right back, “I am the product of hundreds of generations of collectively made bad choices that were the results of other bad choices. I will be the first to do what hundreds of my ancestors could not: I will be the one to kill off my bloodline.”

          It's pretty unlikely that any one person can kill off their entire fucking bloodline anyway. If you have 0 first, second, or third cousins you are in a tremendously small minority of the world population. SOME of those people will have reproduced.

          How many of your ancestors had a choice to reproduce? Had reliable contraception? Had a safety net for old age that wasn't "my kids will take care of me"? We have alternatives now, we can choose. Hell, they probably would've picked gaming and travel too, given the choice!

          A few of your ancestors probably would have given just about anything to have the freedom to backpack across Europe or sleep until noon. Not to take advantage of actually having a choice is not honoring them. Don’t feel guilty!

          That kind of thing makes me feel bad sometimes, too. But I remind myself that a few generations out, my heirs won’t have all that much of my dna anymore. If I am one out of 64 individual great-great-great-great-grandparents how much does descent from *me* matter?

          I also resent the idea that only your direct ancestors matter. I have a great-great aunt whose legacy looms large in my family and whom I honor and love even though she died when I was 4. I have other aunts and uncles by blood and marriage who shaped me.
