[P] I think it's callous to bring a child into this cruelty. Thanks to monsters, ours is a dying world, and a cruel one. Everything is worse for each new generation. As it stands, without extreme population degrowth? There is no future. It'll only get worse. How could one look at such a cruel, dying world and think "Gosh, what a perfect environment for a child!" without being a monster?

[P] Further, greed invites thoughts of legacy snd the indentured servitude of the child. It's laughable to say that this isn't a consideration in the mind of every parent. "Who'll look after me when I'm old? Who'll look after my vocation and legacy?" The child is seen as a play for quasi-immortality, and a carer bound by ball-wnd-chain in blood. If the child were thoight of first? One just wouldn't.

[P] "Why shouldn't I breed if others do? In this future, we'll just keep taking from others to support MY child." It's a feedback loop beteeen the monstrous traits and the procreational instinct. "What care I of the turgid circumstance of tomorrow when my child is todsy?" It carries that essence of a puppy being for life, not just for Christmas—a point which many humans fail at aswell.

[P] I can see how the instinct to procreate could be well served by the monstrous traits of greed, tribalism, and empathy deficit. Greed empowers the procreational instinct, to spread genes, to be a parent. Tribalism empowers the act, as the desire is to create more of us than there is of them (white replacement, et al). And empathy deficit means one doesn't give to much care to the future.
