    None. A very long time before any of this started going down, both my sister and myself informed my parents that neither of us were having children and that this particular line stops here.

    Not because of any trauma (that I can remember). But we’ve both seen the state of the world and decided, with our respective partners, that forcing children into this shit-show is unconscionable.

      I completely understand that kind of decision. Unfortunately its only gonna make it worse. If the people potentially making a positive impact on the world stop having children the downward spiral accelerates.

          Speaking from experience, you have to admit it IS quite rare. Like it’s probably just common enough to raise-up another frustrated, powerless minority. I do have kids, by the way, so it’s not an anti-kid rant.

          Im not saying they cant, but kids indoctrinated by racist egomaniacs are much more likely to turn out the same way.
