I thought my future would be cooler.
I’m GenX and not surprised by this at all. I came to the same conclusion 30 years ago.
When you don’t have kids it’s way harder to force you to do things, and way easier to make time for serious protest.
Accurate.
Got my vasectomy a few years ago, best $500 I ever spent.
Check with your insurance. A lot of them will pay for it.
We have socialism in europe and it’s pretty great. Just leave us alone with forced upon communism before we’re technologically ready.
Insurance helped with most of it. It was cheap, I paid a little extra for the fun drugs.
Hence socialism.
Totally, none of the more socialist countries have any of these issues whatsoever, completely climate neutral, zero emissions, zero toxic chemicals spills, no overfishing, no deforestation, no paving over everything with more roads and factories.
A whole lot better than letting oil company ceos run the world into the ground
Agreed, I hope we have more sympathetic and nicer people in charge while we run the world into the ground too!
Since I‘m a woman, I feel like maybe we could let some more women help run the world into the ground too, just a lack of representation there that‘s a bit disappointing.
If the state wasn’t being lobbied by the oil and gas industry we’d probably be able to actually invest in nuclear or solar, you’re trying to make it seem like the core issues wouldn’t be affected by private versus public running it, but conservative politics are what got us into this shit show with removing all economic stopping blocks to the private sector so if we removed the job of energy production from the private sector then we would naturally be able to fix the issue of running the planet into the ground by the very nature of why it’s occurring in the first place.
Big oil only exists because 1. It’s profitable, and 2. Republicans hate anything that doesn’t directly make them and their friends money. They display zero long term thinking because they’re a bunch of religious fascists who believe that because THEY think the world is going to end “any day now” we should have to adopt their “fuck the world cause it doesn’t matter” mentality.
This, but unironically.
I wish I could live in your dream world. I‘m not even kidding, please give me a piece of the propaganda where I can for one second believe that socialism and some benevolent dictator or something is the magic pill to save the climate. It might soothe me. Link something.
THE FUTURE IS SOCIALISM! DONT DISTRACT THE ISSUE WITH FACTS!
I agree with the message but I don’t know if arsenic + toxic algae in water necessarily deserve two separate slots in the Top 8 Prospective Millennial Parent Worries.
I’m more worried about the plastic, pesticides, degraded pharmaceuticals and heavy metals myself
Yes, including… freshwater fish! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/18/freshwater-fish-contaminated-forever-chemicals
More generally the sixth mass extinction
PFAS chemicals should really be what we’re worrying about. They never break down, they’re highly carcinogenic, and they’re used in a lot of plastics.
Kinda what I meant by plastics
Yeah, that was a bit odd lol. I assume the last article the artist read before drawing this comic would have been about that, and it was pretty fresh in their memory.
Ah, the world that capitalism built.
Oh and don’t forget the AI replacing all of our jobs and skynet causing the extinction of mankind.
murrzstudio on instagram I think
nice thanks
Thanks, I’ll add the link to the post

I thought we were good without mass shooting until we ended up having mass knifing instead
Honestly we need to seriously investigate what would cause someone to do something so destructive.
The US is just a rough place.
Doesn’t matter if you give them nukes, guns or knives.
It doesn’t matter? Ok, let’s legalize personal nuclear weapons. Background check optional.
I made a joke obviously
And I’m obviously being 100% serious. I yearn for a world where everyone carries a tiny nuclear warhead in their pocket. It’s the only way to achieve mutually assured self-defense.
I doubt they were referring to the US, guns have only increased here lately.
No, it’s a very safe place to live. Violent crime is rare overall. Most Americans have never seen anyone shot actually in person. The news coverage of the vast landscape of the USA focuses on each event of violence to magnify its emotional impact to get views
adopt
No
Why?
They already lost the game, real chads don’t raise losers
Quality over quantity and only if you are willing to make sacrifices.
When you don’t have kids it’s way harder to force you to do things, and way easier to make time for serious protest.
yeah lol i’m never having kids
The first part of your username had me thinking you were wrong, but the last part checks out.
Just don’t look up
