It's crazy to me how many people I meet in their early 30s don't want kids.

It usually comes off in 1 of 2 ways:
1) Defeatist: I'll never meet the right girl or I can't afford a house so how can I afford kids
2) Denialism: Maintaining my freedom is a much better life than being tied down with kids

Whether it be adherence to a moral code, a habit, a person, religion or career, I have personally found that living a life full of commitments brings the most joy so I don't understand people subscribed to #2

My biggest commitment is to myself and giving up is something I'll never do, so I also don't understand #1 though I know why this is pervasive.

To each their own, but on a societal scale, I think this sentiment will lead to a generation of lonely old people. That is both sad and incredibly scary.

I hear, "I don't want to bring children into this world." Totally black pilled.

Ultimately, it's worse than a generation of lonely old people. It's the destruction of an entire society.

“To each his own” doesn’t apply in this case because this concerns an objective purpose of being a human object. The truth is the smallest atomic unit is a family, so until your have one, you are nothing but part of an incomplete whole. Having a family is what actualizes your human potential...

Those who choose to exit the gene pool leaves a higher percent of family people to run shit

Big time agree! Although that generation is already here... Your middle age feminists living alone with a cat screaming at the sky because of the patriarchy, your MGTOW movement and soyboy simping men are a big percentage of the population already. I work in tech. The amount of men I work with that...

The system is putting a lot of effort into making sure that people don't have healthy relationships that last a lifetime. A lot of the D.E.I stuff, which on the surface looks like it means well, actually splits people even more apart. When all of your effort goes into being a victim or fighting wi...

Being tied down due to kids is a lie. Logistics become more complicated, but there is no being tied down.

Did you ever think that maybe you're just wrong about the motives of others?

I was stuck in camp 2. BTC gave me perspective on things. Also seeing all other adults flipping to full retard over Covid made me more resilient in believing in my own abilities and view on things

What about maths and not being able to afford kids no matter what you try? Pretty pointless having kids and struggling daily to put food on the table or being so deep in debt that you never enjoy the time together because you working to pay off debt.. I’ve just spent $30k on a IVF baby and I’m ...

Just posted this today, it starts off with the same question: https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs0w74rsry43kvxe7cnvhygytrnm0vqnmmql4zyxdfzppxvy66wvwqel4dew

For me it’s crazy to see the number of males I know who don’t want to have kids and openly mock the ones who start a family

I had some similar thoughts about this yesterday. I understand their reasoning. It’s just that it’s very bad reasoning. https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqswhntn45cmqhghdvwqecl5syy2kr63qqf7u26d3k4y02rx4k6ud7q50h9at

No joke! Not having kids never entered my mind when I was in my twenties and '30s. In fact that's the one thing I've always been 100% sure of is that I wanted to be a mom... A good mom!

evolution is mad right, one generation and the people with an anti human mindset are gone

Sad but true Fiat mindset is so deep in the society🤢

Jake Woodhouse · 26w

I see it a lot as well Sad But true The worst is the “I am not having babies because of climate change”, taking some moral high ground, without realising the lie.

Get married, make babies, work the land

I’ve come to realize that life takes time. There’s no quick fix or instant improvement. It requires time and investment in yourself and your partner. You’re never truly ready to be a parent. I understand trying to establish yourself and waiting to have children, but not having children at al...

Joe Santamaria, MD · 26w

I’ve made a lot of big decisions in my life, and having kids was easily the best choice I’ve ever made. Not even close.

What a breath of fresh air this crowd is. I’ve spent too many years hearing anti-human bullshit from normie leftists.

It's all natural selection then, the weak die out.

Matt 🛸 · 26w

You should see how many old lonely people I see at work who have children. Having children isn't a silver bullet. Nor does not having them mean one must end up lonely. We've chosen not to have children up to this point. We could afford to and we fully support other people doing it if they want to. W...

It will also lead to societal collapse in relatively short order
