    So if those issues exist, and we haven’t been able to fix them (and in fact Capitalism looks to be a run away algorithm that will end all life on earth someday) why would you have kids, again?

      If you don't believe a better world is possible: why are you even here? If you do: you can try to leave a better world for them, and your kids can keep on fighting the good fight. Just because we won't overthrow capitalism this generation doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a next generation, or that only libs and fascists should have kids because they're winning right now.

      Also maybe this isn't you, it's just a thought, but I think a fundamental reason a lot of people are anti-natalist is because they wish they hadn't been born. And that sucks, but it's the human condition, we don't get to decide the circumstances of our birth, and most people simply do not feel that way.

      If nothing will ever get better, and nonexistence is preferable to existing, why haven't you sought euthanasia? Anyone who genuinely believes anrinatalist ideology should logically extend it to themselves. It's because anrinatalists aren't genuine.

            thinking having kids is a bad idea is not the same thing as thinking everyone already alive should kill themselves. stop making straw man arguments if you are so confident. it's embarrassing. i'm not even against having kids, i just don't like people trying to tell me to do so when i don't want any.

            get better at making arguments if you want to be a successful leftist.
