Richard Stallman is not one of the elites or a mouthpiece for them. He doesnt want your kids dead. He thinks its best for the planet to not have kids (in gemeral).
Stallman makes his argument from a position that parenthood is a reasonable choice for most of us. That is no longer the case. For most of us, parenthood is out of reach.
We are living in a 4 (typical) income economy. My adult children have no likely path to support themselves, nevertheless to be part of a self-sustaining, married couple.
It's also because parenting time rose 20-fold between my childhood and my kids'. My mom parented some hours a week.
During my grade-school years, I could roam miles in every direction.
I had to supply a 24/7 adult presence to my kids. My kids had ~nowhere to go.
Compared to most of human history, modern parenting/childhood is a treadmill of restrictions, overload and unaffordability. At the end of it we grow emotionally harmed adults and then blame social media for the results.
