You don't appear to have much in the way of human empathy if you think that caution in bringing a new life into the world is the problem here. I would argue that the lack of caution, foresight and consideration is what leaves us vulnerable and a large part as to why it is so easy for a global oligarchy to take advantage of the bulk of humanity, no matter where we are.
I don't think fearing difficulty is a foresight. Neither is evading responsibility a revolutionary virtue. Difficult path requires careful preparation, this is true, but to avoid it entirely is defeatism. And revolutions don't come from defeatists.
Furthermore, I don't appreciate you accusing me of lacking empathy. This is disrespectful and it earns you the first downvote from me.
Revolutions tend not to come for populations that breed recklessly either. They come from discipline and a willingness to sacrifice. Which may mean not having children, not providing cannon fodder for the oligarchy. Most people who insist on having children are woefully unprepared to raise another human being and constantly display surprise at the state of the world that they live in because they have been sleep walking through life, thus compounding their unpreparedness.
As to not wanting to embrace difficulty - maybe the people who insist on having children just so that they have someone to look after them in old age should heed that message?
