Much of the world, despite actual misery and pain (like being bombed for the 80th time this year by the Big Satan, which is Somalia’s case), still prioritises family and childrearing.
Many people in the West ARE fucking (more than enough to breed at least), they just do the utmost to prevent/“fix” pregnancies when they do, and why wouldn’t they? They have no hope for the future (where can the faithless source hope from?) even if they have done nothing but profit from imperialism and they have the most materially comfortable existence ever because of it, they don’t know how to connect to people and don’t value it either (because at the end of the day, people are burdensome, and building and maintaining relationships demands at least a bit of selflessness which might just be too much/“people are evil and scary so I’m just gonna get a bunch of pets, they can never hurt my feelings nor do they have enough agency to leave me or go too much against my wishes”), and ultimately they simply don’t want to cause life is just too fun and having children and raising them properly are responsibilities that are incompatible with the unfettered hedonism and consumerism they want from life.




I definitely missed that aspect, thanks for your insightful reply. And I definitely feel you on the “trouble maintaining relationships outside of family” aspect of things, being a somewhat hermit-like geek and all. 😔🫶
