      Economically mediated de facto sterilization is an extremely dystopian thing to just accept. I think it’s pretty justified to be more or less outraged in this case.

        you’re not wrong—that is an angle i can understand and even agree with, but while we are living in this system it isn’t smart to pretend reality is different and stubbornly breed regardless if you should.

      No. Stop having children. Even if you can afford it, the other species can’t afford having more humans.

      Survive? Maybe, but most people want to do more than that. If you’re like 20-something you only care about surviving, but when you get older you get tired of that.
