children are universally hated in the US because children represent nature

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I think saying that America just hates children is a bit of a stretch there. In fact I think it's missing the point entirely.
I can't speak for the whole of America, only myself and the other people I know, but most of us would love to slow down, start a family, have someone to nurture, teach, pass down our own interests and skills to. We can't.
The economy is in shambles, the people in control are comedically evil. Ffs the majority of the people running the united states are more than likely on the epstein list. Everyone is living paycheck to paycheck, nobody can afford a house to actually properly raise a child in.
Nobody is having children right now because things are so bad here, nobody can afford to have a child, and even if they could, given how bad things are globally, nobody wants to bring a child into this world.
The system is so cruel to children because the people who run the system are profoundly corrupt, do not have the childrens best interests in mind, and want to make sure our next generation is as uninformed and easy to control as possible
Now if you're asking why most adults don't hang out with kids, it should be pretty obvious why that is. They're kids. Adults who are not their caregivers or in their lives have no business hanging out with them. I would be very concerned if my kid asked if his buddy could hang out and that person was q full grown man.
I'm sure there's people out there who genuinely dislike children, but it's pretty shortsighted to say "every single person in the country must hate children if these people do"
