Dude you think peasants in medieval times had it easier than you to have children? Jesus fucking Christ get a grip on yourself.
As was just mentioned in Matt Walsh's post, you are the product of thousands of years of human beings who sacked up and busted one in a woman to continue our species. Those people did not have it easy in the bronze age or in medieval times, or any other time before now. You are living in the most decadent time of human existence.
You can go ahead and say that you or someone else you know doesn't want to have kids simply just because or for some other reasons that makes sense. Saying it's too hard or too expensive in this day and age is retarded.

Um, yes? Learn some damn history my guy. For pretty much all of history, having as many babies as absolutely possible was THE primary political strategy in the game of power (Hell, many modern societies are still fully committed to that strategy), and so it was made central to religious practices. The whole of society was focused on creating and supporting the next generation, very much unlike our current society which is focused on delivering fast food and hardcore pornography to drug addicts whoring themselves out online.
People also had a lot of babies because it was expected for like a third of them to not make it to adulthood.
Also it's not so much that peasants had it easier, but you now have generations of people who KNOW it CAN be easier.
You got people who grew up middle class, often single income, taking family vacations a year to Universal Studios or the beach or whatever. And you got them working the same as their parents and only a fraction to show for it.
You got people who grew up with the clear message: it's irresponsible to have kids you can't afford. So what are responsible people going to do if they're already struggling to support themselves? They're not going to shit out kids.
Wealthy people nagging everyone else to have kids even if it leaves you poor absolutely rubs people the wrong way. Breed us more Walmart shelvers, peons.

This is retarded revisionist history and you just dropped a Reddit phrase so nothing you say matters anymore.
