I do. See, when I bring up antinatalism I get reactionary shit like ppl telling me it's a stupid and fucked up philosophy. If they're not gonna listen, who am I to keep forcing the issue onto them? Obviously I'd tell my partner and adopted kid not to procreate, and anyone that's open to the philosophy, what decision they make is on their own. Me, I'd go happily knowing I was never the cause of prolonged suffering in this world. It's as simple as that.
Of course I want revolution, the goal is to make life better and for ppl to live in better conditions. Even then I still recognize that there will always be some degree of suffering.
Antinatalism isn't inherently negative, it's a philosophy that questions existence. One doesn't have to be suicidal to decide to not have kids or to spare them from living in this world. There are couples, parents, even grandparents, that have come to terms that there was absolutely no reason to procreate. Antinatalists aren't just some sad ppl going through depression, the philosophy requires deep and critical thinking.
Occasional suffering isnt actually that bad like damn
How does one guarantee that a child will just go through "occasional suffering"?

If seeing how humans live, all the ways they suffer, and what life in this world entails isn't a red flag already, idk what else to tell you comrade.
