Kids need to be indoctrinated into communist thought then ill agree, because the american kids are as reactionary as their parents

I don't mind 'em at all, but given my paranoid bent and the intensity of this current wave of right wing moral panics interacting directly with kids irl makes me uncomfortable.

Makes work awkward at times since kids get super excited about public service jobs like mine and parents will often send them to get the mail from me if they're both outside at the time.

kids deserve social support and resources and spaces to live in but i will never want to be around them lmfao even most adults lack basic hygiene and morality let alone the underdeveloped prototype versions of them

I read the title as "Having kids is reactionary" and expected a diferent kind of post

I started liking children in the vicinity after I watched the Godfather. To me it seems like a place where children can be okay can't be very seedy or self-destructive because everyone needs to keep themselves more together to not scare the little ones away. I'm also down for little people who ask "why" all the time because organizers need to have answers for those kinds of questions. I've really softened my approach to kids as I've gotten older. I think many young ones can handle some responsibilities, engage with tough topics (e.g. sick mom in My Neighbor Totoro), and respect situations that need it if you give them the opportunity to participate. It beats memorizing trivia in school and watching YouTube at home.

bullshit. kids are monsters and fuck you trying to gaslight me.

I don't know. I have nothing against children but I believe that the world would be better off with fewer people. I do not mean this in a ecofash way, wouldn't it be better for everyone if there were fewer people, more resources for each person. Again, not saying no one should have children.

I don't criticize people who have children, its not like my opinions are going to change whether others have children or not. People aren't going to stop eating meat just because I believe it to be wrong (not saying having a child is saying as eating meat).

It's new theory, and not yet popular or accepted, but I recommend anyone intrigued by the proposition of this topic investigate recent writing on the subject of Children's Liberation.
