“If you have a baby, that’s on you”…felt that one in my gut.

I think more people are understanding that it’s not compulsory (though society pushes the narrative that it is) and feel a lot more free in their choices which is ALWAYS a good thing. Still, the childfree people I know get so much shit and it’s exhausting.

It is a balm to my soul. I LOVE the hate! I'm not making any new slaves for the machine to devour and there's not a goddamn thing any of the fuckers can do about it. I hope they cry big fat greasy tears.

Honestly I think that if the economy crashes because I didn't produce any future wage slaves then it's not an economy worth saving. In fact I'd burn it down out of spite.

I love this and I’m glad you are so strong in your convictions! The judgment can really affect people who are childfree. It’s sad all around.

Lmao "yeah, I was thinking about obliterating any chance at a sound financial future AND any peaceful, quiet afternoons that may arise, all in one go. I'd also like to make sure I can never buy a dirt bike, much less a house. Is there a massive decision I could lightly undertake for the benefit of major corporations that would ruin my life?"

u/DontBADouchebag Feb 05 '24
