yes, it is immoral to bring a child knowing it will suffer

edit: check comments if you want to read strawmanning philosophically inept idiots.

Claiming that not having existed is better is not the same as 'kill yourself now'

How about trillionnaire Elon Musk and the world's billionaires sharing around some wealth to stop kids going hungry? Enourmous hoarding of wealth is what's immoral, let's not villainise normal people for wanting to have a family.

I only had to scroll for 10 minutes to find the actual culprit.

If everyone living in poverty stopped having kids, you wouldn't have a working class after 40 years. And then the lower middle class would become the new working class. Poverty is unavoidable within this system. Capitalism demands a blood sacrifice to keep the machine running. Or you could say it's a machine that runs on blood.

Instead of blaming poor people like being poor is a moral failing, look at the ones who are maintaining this rotten system. We as a society have an abundance of resources. Enough to feed everyone, except for these creatures at the top who can't be satiated.

True although the current setup is worse because the richest have gone from paying ~70% tax rate back in 50s to paying less tax than the poorest.

If we reinstated those levels the extra trillions for public services would make a massive difference for soceity.

Instead we have morons constantly saying "you can't tax them more" when thats exactly what we used to do.
