As a european, I follow the us shitshow partly because it influences our politics and lives and partly because I feel sympathy for all the people suffering because of it. Mostly however, I follow it because it is ~70% of the content on lemmy. If I had tiktok I would have liked the speech there.

I chose to not have children mainly for the environment. My partner just doesn’t like the idea of having children. However, I know a lot of leftist people that have/want children.
