    It’s not eugenics, it’s voluntary extinctionism.

    “Don’t worry guys, that person doesn’t represent us - what they should have said is that they wish for all of humanity to die out.”

    This is an absolutely insane thing to advocate for. I hope you come to realize that in time.

      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.

        Humans are a plague upon both other humans and this planet as a whole

        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.

                    Ah, yes the classic “everyone else who doesn’t subscribe is deluded” echochamber red flag.

                    “Voluntary Extinction” is right up there with “flat earthers” and “anti-vax” as the dumbest pseudo-intellectual things I’ve read on the internet.

          So if your kid doesn’t want to fight in the water wars you’re just gonna say “lol kys nerd”? Tragic.

            Firstly, I don’t have a kid. Being sterile (and also just not wanting any), I am quite unlikely to ever have a kid. Ideally we as a society would work to avoid water wars happening. My point is that we should improve our collective state of affairs somewhat, rather than resigning ourselves to the idea that to exist is to suffer like a bunch of loser doomers.

              There’s no fixing to this shit and deep down you know this.

              I saw how humanity got together to deal with COVID. Spoiler: they fucking didn’t.

              What a garbage species we are.

          If someone experiences so much suffering that they are pushed to “opt out of it”, it would have been better not to force them to live and experience the suffering in the first place. Just because someone can take themselves out of it doesn’t make the suffering okay to inflict.
