Guys....
Take a deep breath
Be thankful for what you have
Be compassionate for others sharing the same experiences
You will feel better.
It is that simple.
Confused the US with the entire world again, honest mistake.
Eh, Canada's about the same too.
The deeper tragedy is in the meme as a whole. There has been so much power, control, and hope sucked away from us... and they try to replace it with panic (usually to buy a product or lie). I would like to believe that the situation is not hopeless, and that we are not powerless...
And you're not even calling out the war in Europe.
It's end times folks, only going to get worse before the end.
Why is the whole world on fire? These are all mostly American problems.
A) keep electing far-right leaders and they won't be B) global warming
Yeah feeling this, I'm a little tired of one country projecting it issues on the entire world.
That sentence can be interpreted in a number of ways and all are correct sadly.
I know Australia is American lite sometimes, but we also have most of these issues. Shit is going bad in a lot of places is my understanding.
Not really. Most of Europe is just fine. We in the UK have elected a labor government for the first time in several elections as the conservatives severely fucked up multiple times. Far right wing sentiment is on the rise in several countries, but that doesn't make them the majority, so they aren't winning elections anywhere but locally. Mostly the far right are just taking votes from the moderate right.
A shitty life situation has never stopped anybody from having kids. Quite the opposite, the less educated a society and the lower the prospect of comfort, the more kids people have. Poor and miserable people fuck for fun and don't care about proper contraceptives, resulting in more kids. Further more, people believe that the more kids you'll have, the more likely it is that one of them is going to end up rich and successfull.
Generational-wise, we are having less children then the previous. That's the point of the comic.
That's because people are actually more educated than ever at least in part thanks to the internet. In most places the standard of living has actually gone up, in some cases quite drastically. So people are more comfortable. A lot of the doomerism stuff doesn't take into account any of the awful stuff that happened in the past, and most are only focused on the USA which is having weird problems at the moment. In most of the world the material wealth of the average person has gone up, not down.
You can be damned sure the crazy fundamentalists are gonna have a shit ton of kids. And some of those will vote.
Yeah, and they'll die in the water wars too.
Things have always been bad.
Yes
However without experiencing the previous version of bad there isn't a frame of reference, so whatever bad experience is now is the bad experience
Its bad, I get it. But lets go back to 1968 when baby boomers who would give birth to the millennial generation was born. Vietnam, political assassinations , race riots, anarchist bombings. Throw in watergate and stagflation. The world has always been burning.
The difference is climate change. The better you understand it, the less likely you are to want to have children.
No, climate change was not a concern for them back then.
Climate change was known and covered up by oil companies since the 1930s.
Cool, super irrelevant to the greater point though. It was not known to the people, so the people had hope.
100% of scientists agree that not-having-kids will solve our climate change crisis in one generation.
Fucking lol
