Why do you need a house, a bunker? Being a doomer is being pessimistic about global problems, not prepping for the apocalypse.

Ah, indeed. I was mixing up doomer with prepper. Regardless, you don't have to be a doomer to think the world is shit. You can be hopeful that things will change, but not want to submit an innocent person on pure hope that things will improve.

The "innocent person on pure hope that things will improve" is 100% doomerism.

I live in a box of 6 flats. 4 of the people have kids, the other guy is renting to have a place to come back to when they return from working abroad. All of the flats at 40m2, people earning a fraction of a salary people in the US do, when the cost of living is maybe 80% of the US. Yet nobody is starving, the kids have a great life, parents are happy. Life goes on as it always has, with couples marrying, having kids, growing old together. This isn't something that's somehow unique to here, happens everywhere.

If you want kids, you can get them, support them and give them a bright future. If you don't want them, fine, just don't say you can't have children because the world sucks.
