MODERATORS
A blissfully naïve ideal, considering the rightward shift of almost all governments world-wide. The political right depends vitally on creating an ignorant, illiterate, and uninformed electorate who breed like rabbits… you really think that they will willingly fund education and healthcare of any effective kind?
Right now, our best bet is to stop pumping out innocents who will only know a life that is brutish, cruel, and (once civilization collapses) short. They may have a decade or three of modern conveniences, but anyone under the age of 30 will likely die long before they would otherwise experience a natural death.
You're not getting a perfect solution. And with this foresight not having kids is the responsible thing to do. But no matter how weird some governing bodies might behave, you shouldn't go silent when the world needs people to push for what they think is right.
This situation isn't absolute. There are still people out there who listen, and want better information. People that do care. If you can reach even one person you have a good chance of saving someone else and/or their kids/loved ones from the threats we see before us
