Revolutions tend not to come for populations that breed recklessly either. They come from discipline and a willingness to sacrifice. Which may mean not having children, not providing cannon fodder for the oligarchy. Most people who insist on having children are woefully unprepared to raise another human being and constantly display surprise at the state of the world that they live in because they have been sleep walking through life, thus compounding their unpreparedness.
As to not wanting to embrace difficulty - maybe the people who insist on having children just so that they have someone to look after them in old age should heed that message?
