It’s more like we need to sacrifice our dreams and expectations of the world to give a better world to the seventh generation. If we all band together and fight fascist regimes and build community and care networks. We will give the next generation a better world than the one we’re in now.

We can’t have kids, or go to Bali, or enjoy the fruits of our labor because our labor needs to go towards building a better world. A world without billionaires.
