People like to think that Adolf Hitler, Mussolini and Joseph Stalin could only be dicators. It's not really like they had no support within their own country and aboard. Do you think it was just some bad guys in Europe that happened to live in the same era?

If you vote and support oppresive policies you will make/get people like that in the leadership regardless of how many people you replace with cats.

And again, similar things could be said about your examples. I just wanted to point out how bad that kind of argument is. You can't possibly know the outcome of such "what if" scenarios.

Cats could lead to a more fulfilling life in just the right people who make a difference for society down the line. This kind of speculation is pointless.

My comment was about replacing raising children with cats for eco reasons.

Of course you should not raise children if you don't like doing that. I didn't decide myself yet. But if your "religion" is "eco-friendly" then I believe god prefers you to have children instead of cats.
