Look, I’m not attacking you or saying that we shouldn’t make a better world for our kids.
That phrase that children are made to be consumed by the people crushing machine and billionaires is often used to criticize people who have chosen to have children in this modern world we are living in. It’s shame based language.
I think you are misunderstanding when people use phrasing like that. It’s not an attack on having children. It’s an attack on the system and how it treats people.
Respectfully, I know what I’ve seen and this phrase has absolutely been used to criticize parents for deciding to have children now, particularly in the US. And especially in toxic childfree groups.
It is used in other ways, such as criticizing capitalism, as well.
Ok I agree that that’s sometimes used to criticize parents but I did not do that. It comes across like you’re intolerant of people talking about the issues with capitalism or you’re overly sensitive and protecting intent where it doesn’t exist. It’s a bit unfair
You’re welcome to ignore my suggestion if you’d like and I promise I won’t be fussed. It was a suggestion and that’s it. I feel like I’ve been pretty polite on top of that. Let’s leave it, yeah?
