I call them Generation Last

The crazy part is I have friends who are well aware that the world is completely fucked and they are still making new children.

This is lemmy and you expect us to believe girls are real?

Then they are narcissists, plain and simple. Looking in the mirror saying "yeah I wanna see more of that"

Yeah we should all totally give up any hope and stop having kids.

[–] rab 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah we should. Today's children are the last generation

Want to make a bet? I jest, obviously, since neither you nor I will be around to see how this all plays out in the end, but I am serious in my assertion that regardless of what lies ahead, humanity will not become extinct on the basis of climate change alone. That's the worst sort of alarmist defeatism. You've basically given up ahead of time, before the real struggle has even begun.

You do you, but I am not done fighting and am not about to admit defeat and retire into self-fulfilling capitulation. I don't want to accuse you of cowardice, but in some ways that's kind of what I see.

The German equivalent of JustStopOil is called the Last Generation (or letzte Generation). The official name is like the last generation that can hold up climate crises, but the implication is clear

I feel like kids being born now will have a mostly "normal" (from our perspective) childhood and early adulthood but they'll age up in an increasingly screwed up world. The generation after that is fucked.

That's a quaint and hopeful take on it

I'm seeing geometric progression, positive feedbacks, and we are almost out of time
