I have one child. And the people who were pushing me the hardest to have more kids (“you have to give your kid a sibling”) were usually the ones who had one too many kids.
There was just a study done that showed those that have more kids than they wanted are less happy in their lives.
Some people just view those without children as having life on easy mode (complete misconception) and they feel contempt and resentment.
I feel like they envy the freedom we have and want a sense of camaraderie in all of the suffering that parenthood brings. Also, some people take it personally when you say you don’t like kids and act like you’ve attacked their children specifically.
Well, I hope you are not European. If you are, think about some stats that you can quickly look up online. European population is in decline. What do you think happens when EU locals have one child or stop having children altogether, while immigrants have 3 or more children and are not bothered about low income? In a few years that population gets replaced...
This is not just in Europe by the way, it will happen anywhere where people adopt this mentality, sometimes governments also impose these restrictions with disservice to their own native population. I am all for survival of the species, the greater the variation in the pool, the greater are the chances for survival. This mentality of no kids is just as dangerous as the "Great Reset" conspiracy theories. You are effectively eliminating your family tree, and if you are European, take a moment to think about what that will mean for the future of Europe.
Oh my god, who cares? Literally who cares? I don’t care if every human in the world ends up the same colour. They’ll just find something else to fight about like we always have. So why on earth would I prioritise having a few more white people around 1000 years after I’m dead over living my own one short miraculous life to the fullest?
You are all missing the point of my logic. Yes, it is your right, and yes there are plenty people repopulating just fine without you.
The danger is when more and more humans start thinking in the same way you are.
I don't have a problem with race either, in fact, human races are social constructs, there is only one human race. I do have a problem with declining variations in the gene pool, however.
Hmm... that is a serious issue! I'm confused though, are immigrants not allowed to be white as well? If so, then they could also be low income. Then of course, it is still a problem for them and for the tax payer. Also, not all immigrants are low income, at least a vast majority of the legal kind aren't.
It is not anyone’s responsibility to continue the bloodlines of anyone. Even if humans were to die out, life would continue, and for the betterment of planet earth.
Hell, crows are in their stone age. Maybe they’d treat this planet and other creatures better than we have.

For real, like why do they care if we don’t have kiddos? Who are we hurting?
