Which is why they are selfish and i hate them
that is such a horrible thing to say.
i'm so tired of the way people constantly judge and look down on poor people and expect them to wail in their own misery but don't propose any actual solutions
• poor people generally don't have access to high quality education, which means no proper sex ed and they probably never realized how expensive children are
• poor people can't afford contraception, and expecting them to stay celibate for their entire lives is not reasonable
• poor people, especially in less developed countries, have children help w family income by setting them to work at an early age and collecting financial benefits
• poor people tend to be more religious, and when you're deeply religious you have certain ideas regarding sex and reproduction
• in certain countries, having large families is the norm and they're expected to have many offsprings, pair that with lack of sex ed and it's all they know
• in less developed countries having children means someone who will take care of you and provide for you when you're old or sick
• high infant mortality rates means families have more children to account for the ones they (will) inevitably lose
the problem goes much deeper than "misery loves company"
