That's dark. I feel sad now, also very glad I don't have, or want, children.
Here’s another dark comic about children to cheer you up
Jesus christ I don't need this gut punch and flashback, I'm going back to bed.
Is the implication that he can't afford food or something?
Yeah - if I recall correctly, it was originally with a newspaper article about living cost crisis here in the UK
The dad should be drinking a beer.
Beer is expensive.
The whole point of this is to show the dad making a sacrifice for his kid.
If we want humanity to have any kind of future then we need more children not raised by cunts.
We are 8 billion people on this planet. There are enough humans already.
Yes, but if everyone gives up then there'll be no-one in 100 years, and if decent folk give up then it'll only be cunts in 100 years. I would like a future of non-cunty people.
You're assuming that people whose parents are shitty will stay shitty, which is absolutely not the case. We should invest in education, mental healthcare, and child protective services to help prevent that.
Why would we need CPS if we have no children?
Yeah, go straight for the logical extreme, as if there isn't a middle-ground here.
You said there are enough people already.
Is it helping anybody act so obtuse? Or maybe you find it amusing? To me it just looks like you're steering a well intensioned conversation into a muddy pit.
I originally tried to point out to someone who was glad that they don't have children due to the current future prospects that actually there is a strong argument that children are necessary, but should be raised better. The person who replied to me initially said that there are too many people, implying that there should be no more children, but then said services to improve children's prospects should be invested in. What would be the point in having such services if we've already given up on having future children? Isn't nihilism counter to social investment?
