The fewer people born now, the fewer people will be left without resources in the already beginning climate apocalypse.
I don't fault people who do have kids, but I don't think that declining birth rate is a problem. In my experience people who are concerned about that are usually racists who are concerned about their particular race declining in percentage of the global population.
Every argument ive ever gotten against a negative birth rate clutching pearls "BUUT MUH CAPATLAISM CAN'T SURVIVE ON A NEGATIVE BIRTH RATE"
Me: ".....and?"
Oh, true, I forgot about the people with a fetish for economic growth. That's another one. Still an equally shit reason, though.
