      Anti-natalism is an OP to reduce the number of slaves made useless to the capitalists due to automation before they revolt.

      You probably shouldn't judge any ideology based on a random post on a reddit sub dedicated to it.

      Also, actual honest to god ecofash like Pine Tree Party are really into outbreading the undesirables.

          I think it would make sense to differentiate antinatalism the philosophy, which is basically a very narrow philosophy that suggests that being born sucks even if you are privileged and doesn't suggest any totalising course of action, and antinatalism the reddit meme, which as I pointed out in another reply kinda sucks.

          I share your concerns that this kind of rhetoric is going to be used by the right, but antinatalism as a stand-alone thing seems to have been born in the 2000s and I feel like "the poors shouldn't breed as much poors for their own sake" is an older idea than that.

      It’s suggesting a solution,

      It's just a critique.

      Antinatalism doesn’t address the problems that it’s purported to solve

      lol how can it solve anything it's completely obscure and irrelevant
