    I’m not saying we should kill people, I’m saying making more is wrong.

    It is a nonconsensual act whereupon you are forcing life and all its travesty onto another being, when they were perfectly fine not existing.

    Call me insane if you want, I couldn’t care less. Humans are a plague upon both other humans and this planet as a whole, and bringing someone else into the world to be both a victim and perpetrator of the issue is wrong.

      I think your perspective about life is blinded by pessimism, and you’re treating that pessimism as absolute fact. Many people view life as a wonderful thing, are thrilled to exist for the time that they do, and see creating a new life to experience the wonders of living as a gift.

      You’re sounding like Agent Smith from the matrix. Come on. Unplug from the negative feedback loop for a bit.

        You call it pessimism, I call it realism.

        There are good things to experience, yes. If you’re already alive, then by all means, seek to find happiness and enjoyment. Don’t force someone else into that endless struggle. You can make no guarantees that their life won’t be one of pure suffering, and that’s not a risk I’m willing to take.

        And again, we are destroying this planet - not just for us, but for all life on it. We are the problem.

          Says every person with depression ever.

          I agree with the other commenter recommending therapy. When you don’t see it as “life is pain and the future is hopeless”, you might sound less like a scifi villain calling for human extinction.

            “Existence is suffering” is a foundational tenet for many worldviews and religions, not just antinatalism. Existence is literally the first cause to all suffering - no existence, no suffering.

            Acknowledging that doesn’t make me depressed or pessimistic, it’s just acceptance how things are.

            You’re free to live in whatever fantasy you want, though. That’s your right.

            Also, responding to differing worldviews with “get help” is generally bad form

              Your worldview is literally calling for the extinction of all humans. You need to come back to reality and stop convincing yourself that this is normal or healthy.
