Then they are narcissists, plain and simple. Looking in the mirror saying "yeah I wanna see more of that"

Yeah we should all totally give up any hope and stop having kids.

[–] rab@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah we should. Today's children are the last generation

Want to make a bet? I jest, obviously, since neither you nor I will be around to see how this all plays out in the end, but I am serious in my assertion that regardless of what lies ahead, humanity will not become extinct on the basis of climate change alone. That's the worst sort of alarmist defeatism. You've basically given up ahead of time, before the real struggle has even begun.

You do you, but I am not done fighting and am not about to admit defeat and retire into self-fulfilling capitulation. I don't want to accuse you of cowardice, but in some ways that's kind of what I see.
