MODERATORS
garbage health care
mass shootings
violent racism
Look at this guy who thinks the USA invented racism and holds a monopoly on it.
The comic is very America-centric if you look at the problems mentioned in totality.
In Europe it's just sparkling "let them down in the Mediterranean and/or make sure they stay in their own neighborhoods."

I mean, the UK has 2 out of 3 of those. And most countries have the violent racism.

The US is far from the only country with violent racism. In terms of healthcare, the privatization. The Canadian healthcare system is being increasingly enshittified by conservatives up here, too.

Thats one of the reasons i'm not having kids. I have a decent life by any metric but I had to work my ass off and face a tonne of resistance in my career. It always feels like I'm playing catch up with the cost of everything going up and up to the point where I'm just exhausted and depressed. Like, what is the point of living?! it honestly feels like theres just nothing left to enjoy anymore, everything has been monetized to hell and back. They told us as kids that you can be anything you want when you grow up, the future is bright and if you work hard you will be rewarded and its just not true. I can't do that to another person, these problems are only getting worse with no end in sight.
That's the point? The left get demoralized and the right can't be because they have no morals. Its part of the reason right wingers tend to have a dozen children, it's quite literally biblical drown them in numbers bullshit.

If I ever decide to have kids then I'm adopting because I can't in good conscience bring a life into this shitty world
Given the glut of unwanted children from our abortion prohibition, we'll be needing a lot of new adoptive parents in the near future.

The deeper tragedy is in the meme as a whole. There has been so much power, control, and hope sucked away from us... and they try to replace it with panic (usually to buy a product or lie). I would like to believe that the situation is not hopeless, and that we are not powerless...

We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning.

And you're not even calling out the war in Europe.
No no. Wars are destined to be over. This? I don't know how it would end.
You can be damned sure the crazy fundamentalists are gonna have a shit ton of kids. And some of those will vote.
Yeah, and they'll die in the water wars too.
Wait, there's a toilet paper shortage? No idea, haven't been to Costco in a while.
Why is the whole world on fire? These are all mostly American problems.
A) keep electing far-right leaders and they won't be B) global warming
I know Australia is American lite sometimes, but we also have most of these issues. Shit is going bad in a lot of places is my understanding.

The catch-22 is that if the people with environmental values don't have kids, those values aren't passed on to the next generation (unless they become teachers or media personalities).
You don’t need to have kids to pass on values. The basic premise of your statement doesn’t hold up.

Craziest thing about this graphic is that it leaves so many major issues off while also covering so much horseshit.

At this point I think the GOP are just taunting people who won't bring kids into this. Jokes on them though, if theyre having kids from some sort obligation and not to love and properly nurture them it's just bad news for everyone involved. Have fun with all that trauma.

lol, yes Millennials and Gen Z are trying so much harder to fix the situation by voting for change… ohhh wait

Yeah I’m afraid that the lesson is that Gen Z is not actually the future, they are going to repeat the past. What makes me sad is that they should have been the future but social media made sure that didn’t happen.
Did social media make sure that didn't happen, or did the fact that virtually every generation ultimately repeats the mistakes of the one before it ensure that didn't happen?

A shitty life situation has never stopped anybody from having kids. Quite the opposite, the less educated a society and the lower the prospect of comfort, the more kids people have. Poor and miserable people fuck for fun and don't care about proper contraceptives, resulting in more kids. Further more, people believe that the more kids you'll have, the more likely it is that one of them is going to end up rich and successfull.
