colors your eyes with what's not there
I'm just being honest. I can actually do that here as opposed to need to pretend I'm ever excited or happy about adding more humans to an already overpopulated species that's responsible for a sixth mass extinction and global scale ecological genocide.
I'm happy for someone's happiness in these matters, though not for the cause of it if that makes sense. I've had coworkers decide to be breeders and if that's what they wanna do and it that's how they find joy and purpose - I can respect that. Hell, I deeply respect that. But dang if I'm not aggravated that humans have opted primarily for the death rate solution. Ecosystems resolve species overpopulation in only two ways - reduced birth rates, or increased death rates. I'd like to think pretty much everybody would find reducing birth rates to be a lot less painful and ugly (because it is).
I'm being honest too. If you object to pejoratives for other groups, why is your pejorative for me somehow okay?
I can be happy for those who decide not to have children and respect their reasons why without using a pejorative for them.
Birthrates are already reducing, we're below replacement levels in many countries. Someone posted a graph to that effect, I could give you the same information from the United Nations, but you're highly educated in your field, so I expect you know this already. I grieve what we've done to the earth in the last 200 years and I do what I can personally to mitigate my own path, but we as a species need to reproduce to survive just like any other species, and there's no way I would ever support the idea of an intentional human extinction.
