Yeah it’s not just lemmy but it’s certainly prevalent here. I think the allure is that it can feel ‘sophisticated’ and ‘aware’ to be cynical, but it is annoying.
Especially the anti-natalists OMFG. ‘Having children is like totally selfish and inmoral’ oh jeez shut your trap. Like I get the anti-hyper-natalists because having like 5 children is also completely nutso these days, but. Well anyway.
Antinatalists are the most annoying kind, with their cheap ass edgy morality that at the end of the day, is just a means to try and feel superior, somehow, to other people.
Demograpic collapse is way more scary than any of those SciFi depictions of overcrowded cities… no doubt in under developed countries there is a real problem with that, but in so much the rest of the world, the problem is literally the opposite, people are getting old and the each new generation has to carry a weight that is not theirs, things like retirement will become impossible.
You two are just delusional. Open your eyes. But then people on lemmy tend to be on the older side, so there’s a good chance, you just don’t want to hear how you fucked over the younger generations.
I do wonder what shitfuck will be for me when I graduate college, but my parents and grandparents also had to live trough shit, poverty, pinochet, worry of nuclear war, disease and whatnot, and if they choose to not have kids, well… I wouldnt exist lol, and my life is way more healtly and comfortable than the ones they did have, things have improved in spite of all the shitfuckery of the XX century, and they will keep improving overall, and on average trough the century (i don’t say there won’t be dips) because humans just want to live better.
Go fuck yourself. I recycle, I grow a lot of veg, keep my own chickens, air source heat pump and PV and all that jazz, I don’t drive, I vote for socialised policies and infra investments. What do you do? Useless sniping arse
Lemmy sometimes annoys me with all this doomeristic boomer firstworlders.

Also, greetings from Chile.
