Totally, none of the more socialist countries have any of these issues whatsoever, completely climate neutral, zero emissions, zero toxic chemicals spills, no overfishing, no deforestation, no paving over everything with more roads and factories.
This, but unironically.
I wish I could live in your dream world. I‘m not even kidding, please give me a piece of the propaganda where I can for one second believe that socialism and some benevolent dictator or something is the magic pill to save the climate. It might soothe me. Link something.
THE FUTURE IS SOCIALISM! DONT DISTRACT THE ISSUE WITH FACTS!
I thought my future would be cooler.
Accurate.
I'm GenX and not surprised by this at all. I came to the same conclusion 30 years ago.
When you don't have kids it's way harder to force you to do things, and way easier to make time for serious protest.
Got my vasectomy a few years ago, best $500 I ever spent.
Check with your insurance. A lot of them will pay for it.
We have socialism in europe and it's pretty great. Just leave us alone with forced upon communism before we're technologically ready.
Insurance helped with most of it. It was cheap, I paid a little extra for the fun drugs.
I agree with the message but I don't know if arsenic + toxic algae in water necessarily deserve two separate slots in the Top 8 Prospective Millennial Parent Worries.
I'm more worried about the plastic, pesticides, degraded pharmaceuticals and heavy metals myself
Yes, including... freshwater fish! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/18/freshwater-fish-contaminated-forever-chemicals
PFAS chemicals should really be what we're worrying about. They never break down, they're highly carcinogenic, and they're used in a lot of plastics.
Kinda what I meant by plastics

nice thanks
Oh and don't forget the AI replacing all of our jobs and skynet causing the extinction of mankind.
I thought we were good without mass shooting until we ended up having mass knifing instead
Honestly we need to seriously investigate what would cause someone to do something so destructive.
The US is just a rough place.
Doesn't matter if you give them nukes, guns or knives.
It doesn't matter? Ok, let's legalize personal nuclear weapons. Background check optional.
I made a joke obviously
And I'm obviously being 100% serious. I yearn for a world where everyone carries a tiny nuclear warhead in their pocket. It's the only way to achieve mutually assured self-defense.
I doubt they were referring to the US, guns have only increased here lately.
No, it's a very safe place to live. Violent crime is rare overall. Most Americans have never seen anyone shot actually in person. The news coverage of the vast landscape of the USA focuses on each event of violence to magnify its emotional impact to get views
Ah, the world that capitalism built.
Just don't look up
Only the ones that will make things worse
Quality over quantity and only if you are willing to make sacrifices.
When you don't have kids it's way harder to force you to do things, and way easier to make time for serious protest.
I have a few millennial friends who are having kids. I'm still deciding whether or not to have them and possibly just adopt and provide for a kid in need rather than bring a new one onto this plane of existence (if others exist).
I'm never fucking having kids the government can go fuck themselves the same way I'm expected to go fuck myself in this barely sustainable hellscape that is the modern job and housing market.
Same, my partner and I will be saving all that extraoney we save not having children for ourselves.
yeah lol i'm never having kids
The first part of your username had me thinking you were wrong, but the last part checks out.
Yes.
These kids don't know what happens outside of their happy 1st world country
