Literally the opposite of this is true. Not having kids is one of the single best things you can do for the planet.
(Still want to raise a child? Adopt! There are so many kids out there looking for good homes and people who will love and care for them)
Not entirely accurate. Shit hits the fan before this changes too much and we are in much debt. Also infrastructure is somewhat of a fixed cost. I.e. being fewer people does not reduce infrastructure emissions.
Antinatalism isn't ab answer to the problem, but might be a reasonable reaction.
That being said I do not want to advocate for having more children or put the blame for the systemic issues on the individuals suffering from them.
some infrastructure, but by no means all. But I think my stance has always been closer to “if they wanted me to bring in additional players, they should’ve made the game more fun to play”
Population decline will be the socio-economic epoch which finally puts an end to obligate growth capitalism, and the initial demographic crisis will force us to reprioritize how we use resources and technology to support aging populations. Historical materialism goes brrrrrr.
Refusing to make children for the capitalist machine is just good praxis.
We could just let people with babies immigrate into the country easily instead of forcing people already here to have extra.
Oh wait that's not the right kind of baby? Weird.
OBEY
CONSUME
REPRODUCE
How will you pay for them? Figure it out, loser!
Where will they live when the planet is actively killing us?
It's your fault for not being heir to an apartheid-era emerald mine fortune, really. Should have chosen better parents.
Elon musk is just firing more and more people. What he want these kids to be? Steve Jobless?
He wants people to give him money, not the other way around.
Pls refill workforce
No, we aren't paying you a living wage to make it feasible
Juck get fucked
I would like to ask that woman if she is pregnant right now. If not, call her a hypocrite
You'd need to know if she is having unproctected sex. Exclusively unprotected. And no birth control. Babies can't happen if she's taking birth control.
"Are you currently being pumped full of hot man juice deep into your vagina?"
I feel like at this point you could just do the opposite of whatever old musky says and you'd be doing pretty alright for yourself.
decades of don't have kids if you can't afford them and now it's "have kids! They yearn for the mines!"
Is this some stupid religious marketing campaign
It literally is. Everylife, the guys behind this, are a Chrisrian diaper company.
It does sound like they're full of shit.
This important PSA brought to you by Christo-Fascists everywhere!
At this point Capitalism is a religion. They pay as much attention to the real world facts as religions do.
All you need to know is that Everylife, the company behind this campaign, is a diaper trading company that officially pushes Christianity and fights "companies that have promoted the weakening of men in American society" and that "are pushing anti-family, anti-American agendas".
This is such a fucked up combo of right-wing politics and diapers I can't even

Can't wait for my vasectomy next week
oh i'm having sex, non procreative, that is
I literally can't take care of my own life well enough, how do you expect me to be a good parent? This is why I'm celibate.
Also, I feel like there's enough people in the world already. Why do you guys need more than 8 billion people?
It's a house of cards that requires new souls to suffer for the wealthy. There will never be enough people to sate the desire for infinite growth.
Make more workers!
capitalism requires constant population growth in order to sustain itself. The idea of unending exponential monetary growth cannot be sustained without unending population growth. for this reason every business, and every form of capitalism is doomed to eventual collapse. The only reason why it keeps going is because our fucking governments keep propping it up. this is why Elon musk's greatest fear is under population
they say have more babies then cheer as families drown in the rio grande
This is hilarious.
Musk first came into my view talking about how earth is overpopulated and we need to go to mars to survive.
Sure, cool. Make health insurance cover my IVF then.
Ok, can you guarantee they will someday have a college education, housing, and Healthcare?
"NO! HAVE KIDS AND A SELECT FEW WILL WIN THE GENETIC LOTTERY AND BE ACCEPTED, THE REST CAN SUFFER."
Edit:
I'm sure what humanity needs is checks notes more humans, because we dont have enough problems .
i looked them up, this is a DIAPER AD
MKAE MORE WORKERS FOR US TO GRIND TO DUST
More of a white Christian nutcase thing than a capitalist thing specifically.
Hell no. I struggle with being responsible for my own life and you want me to be responsible for more lives?
I feel like Elon and has this one covered
Nope, I removed that option last January.
ah yes, bring new sapient life unwillingly into this dying world. give them no future to look forwards to
It's also one of the best ways to have a giiiaaant personal CO2 footprint (through your children, clever!), so get on it!
Make more little humans that destroy the planet even more and consume shit!
Maybe the decision to have children is highly personal and should be left up to individual people to decide, either way?
