Ngl I think it’s selfish and cruel to the child to have a child in the current world. Why the fuck would I have a kid as I’m facing down a planet that may not be inhabitable in 10-20 years, in a dying empire that limps closer to collapse every day. Where they’ll grow up in fear of getting shot or permanently disabled by covid just to go to school.
And that’s if I could afford to take care of kids in the first place, when I can barely afford to give myself a decent standard of living.
In order to convince me to have a child I’d need the following: Free child care, free healthcare, triple my current wage, a house in a walkable area because kids can’t drive and thus shouldn’t be in car dominated areas, gun control, a better education system, and Climate Stalin.
Strongly influential on Geoff & Wainwright's Climate Mao, presumably.
I saw an interview with one of the authors once. Very informative.
The book is quite good too.
Yeah the whole book goes pretty hard for anti-capitalism in general.
