Well I am sorry for your child but understand how hard it is to not fall for the pro family propaganda that is shoveled down our throats from birth.
You are correct that I do not have children and could never conceive (pun intended) of having any in this reality. I was lucky (in a sense) to see the falseness in such things from an early age and find a partner who agreed with me on the topic.
The fact that you are even able to think about such issues as a parent though is truly impressive and admirable. While I don’t wish the guilt you must feel at times on anyone (which is why I advocate so loudly for going childless from the start), I do think it is very important for parents to process the fact that they bear all of the material responsibility for their children’s existence. The government and religious leaders that promote reproduction sure as hell aren’t going to take any of it on. Part of that responsibility should be, in my opinion, telling your children about the guilt you feel, and urging them to not reproduce by extension. At least as long as it takes for the world to wake up to what is going on around it.
I truly do appreciate your willingness to discuss such difficult things in a civil and thoughtful manner though. Taking the next step though, I really do wonder how you are not rioting in the streets these days? I mean, as someone with almost no skin in the game myself, I am rendered so livid on a daily basis by the exploitation and abuse of humans around the world that it is a struggle to not do so myself. The true targets of my ire though are not my fellow plebs, but our so called global leaders and elite who so smuggly and openly oppress us. Do you just feel completely powerless? Are you more afraid of your own suffering than that which your child will potentially endure by your inaction?
I recognize how tough these questions are. Thank you again for being so willing to see past any offense, and help me gain a better understanding of the issue.
