"But we didn't have any easy options in the society we'd built"
Yeah that's going to wash with the generations of suffering we're dooming our own damn children to, because we are literally too selfish to give up any luxuries.
Stop lying about loving your children. It's not just words, if you love someone you act. This isn't a loving future. We despise our children. We laugh while we stack up pain death and disease for them.
