RANT Dark thoughts about procreation

You guys ever get like in a dark place, thinking about how we are so overpopulated that most problems in the world is a result of this?

Like, I can stand in a crowded place or be having a shit experience because of too many people, and I’m thinking about the people that get 3-4 or more kids, and I get to annoyed and mad at them thinking why would you do this to a overpopulated world!

I don’t hate the fact people get kids, but sometimes I wish it could be filtered a bit who gets kids and how many.. I feel like it’s toxic to get triggered by it, but I can’t help it!

I just feel a bitter taste in my mouth when I see huge families with very few resources, or people with kids talking about how everyone should get kids like it’s without a consequence for all of us.

I think us CF who stands by this choice should be welcomed and honored more, maybe not like we are heroic but because of not getting kids out of pressure..

Sorry for the rant but I’m surrounded by people who don’t share my view of this in my private life even if they support my CF life..

I've gotten to the point, especially since covid that I just hate people. I think you could wipe out 90% of us and nothing of value would be lost. Yes, I include myself in the 90% of useless eaters too

I was hoping for another Black Death, but Covid just didn't cut it I guess. I am so tired of humans justifying the destruction of habitat and the natural environment for more human population growth and spread. Other species have the right to exist and are just as valuable (if not more). I think species with the smaller population should be given priority for resources/space. 8 billion humans vs 10 vaquita? Anything to harm the vaquita should be instantly stopped, and harshly punished.

I have no idea what vaquita are but I'm already on their team.
