Ah yes, it's not the billionaires, corrupt politicians and massive industry inefficiency that's causing our problems, it's children!!!

I swear to God, reading stupidity from people I expect to be on my side of the political divide hurts especially bad.

More like yes those are the problems and children are not the answer to those problems.

I'm not sure where they got the impression anyone was blaming children unless they are intentionally being obtuse to attack ideas they disagree with. Similar to people who screech "you hate dogs!?!" when you complain about shitty dog owners.

It’s humanity that causes problems

When an invasive species is destroying an ecosystem, what do you do?

I’m not advocating for any policy, I’m just saying people shouldn’t have children. It’s unethical.

I personally can think of several solutions to the climate crisis less drastic than humanity becoming extinct

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 months ago

Not necessarily extinct, but definitely less populous

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago

That's a policy.

Why would you expect a random person on Lemmy to be on your side?
