Have ya'll ever met eugenicists and racists? those are some of the most natalist motherfuckers out there. You think all the mystic woo woo "having children is like +1 good" bullshit you want, THOSE PEOPLE THINK THAT HARDER THAN YOU DO!!!

This rant is sponsored by yesterday's grandma demanding in the form of a question when I'm going to shit out babies for her and also random strawman comments in an obscure subreddit.

Edit: ITT: people actually starting to bully me for not wanting to have kids. Did not expect this on "leftist" website.

    Some of the arguments for antinatalism can get malthusian. I think you can just not have kids without turning it into an identity. The moment someone calls themselves antinatalist I can't help but think they're a dork at best or have some fascist idea about there being too many people at worst.

      I know an antinatalist who simply believes that suffering in life is inevitable, but joy isn't so guaranteed, and would prefer that no creature or organism at all have children. That life itself is an unjust thing and that perpetuating it perpetuates a system of suffering.

      I guess you could slot him under dork, but it's definitely not about the number of humans.

            Thank you for saying that. Obviously I'm not the friend in question but I do have chronic pain and it gets lonely when even leftists act like I need to pull myself up by the bootstraps and ignore my disability so I can be better at parties, or whatever.
