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.

    Plenty of ideas can be expressed in contradictory ways. Plenty of racists simultaneously think that certain groups of people are subhuman but also control all of society, the economy, and government. Plenty of people bray for wars but would never enlist to fight in them.

    Anti-natalism, specifically defined as the idea that nobody should have children, tends to overlap with general misanthropy that also overlaps with Eugenics-adjacent ideas - one of which is the belief that an imperfect life or a life of hardship is one that should not be lived.

      perfect summation, i wouldn't call it adjacent, rather it's exactly eugenics.
