Or they’ll blame you for roping them into this exploitative shitshow with a side of climate apocalypse, and they’ll be correct.

    Oh yeah, the world will be so much better off when only the stupidest people are having kids.

    Although if you take your advice from a meme, I suppose nothing of value would be lost.

        Sure, but chances are low that uneducated people are going to great lengths to make sure their children are well educated.

        One of the most horrifying things I’ve encountered in my career as a teacher was a father who insisted that his incredibly bright high school senior not accept a college scholarship because, and I quote: “I didn’t go to college, and you’re not better than me.”

          It’s usually the opposite, as long as the uneducated parent isn’t financially successful. If they are then your anecdote does tend to happen, and is generally a good thing in the US and other despotic hell holes as making money is far more important than education.

        That’s the problem isn’t it? You parasites who think they owe the world nothing and can just take whenever they want without giving back.

          It seems like you’re saying that the only way to give back to society is by having children. So people who don’t want kids or who can’t have kids are parasites?

          Sounds like a white supremacist talking point to me.
