I have a friend whose brain has been completely broken by antinatalism. He can't talk about anything else and it kind of consumed his life for the past few months.
Because once you start to think you're smarter for living your life how you want and don't face real oppression for it you get really smug. New atheism, legal potheads, and so on.
Imo childfree is less inherently prone to extremism because choosing not to procreate is a personal choice that everyone should be entitled to make.
A line gets crossed when you go towards antinatalism, which tries to push non-procreation onto others.
It's the difference between thinking that abortion should be legal and accessible vs yelling at random pregnant women that they should get an abortion.

I think with potheads the fact that pot makes things seem more interesting means they can't realise how boring they are

They're fine enough people I've just lived with enough to know they're boring while high and you're sober.
Also discusing varieties of weed is exactly as interesting as spending 2 hours telling me about different varieties of onions
