Just stop having kids

I say stop having kids to wholly avert the undeserved and nonconsensual suffering that is inherent to a sentient life and suffering across sentient lives should be minimized

Buddhists hate this one weird trick.
- There was a christian sect that managed to be so sucessful at this, it went extinct.

Not having kids cuz I'm not especially fond of the idea of throwing the poor little shits into the dumpsterfire we've made our world. That and I don't want to pitch my offspring as ammo into a breeding war against the Nazis/cultists/idiots. They can have it.

I don't trust humanity with my offspring. Especially not the people who demand more people in this world. They have to be sadists.

What if the reason I got sterilized is that I don’t want to deal with raising them, knowing full well the burden would fall to me and I can’t even manage to keep myself fed most of the time (effort, not availability) and it just works in everyone’s favor?

I can feed my cats twice a day and clean their boxes once, and they manage themselves otherwise if that’s all I have the energy for. That’s called neglect with children.

Makes more sense than either in the meme. Carry on, friend.

Why would not having kids punish men?

It's part of the "no sex, no marriage, no kids" platform that focuses on bodily and personal autonomy for women by withholding sex from men and ensuring they'll never be tied down in any form.
- women and men both surprised that neither needs the other all that much, but somehow, both are equally mad about it

No fucking clue either. Some kind of random misogyny most likely
- *Misandry?

The rich can only stay in power when there is a constant new supply of naive workers

Existence is when capitalism.

Having kids seems like the punishment to me

I intend on adopting (in a distant future if I'm ever financially and psychologically stable). Lots of kids who have already been born could use a loving family.

Oh yeah, the world will be so much better off when only the stupidest people are having kids.

Although if you take your advice from a meme, I suppose nothing of value would be lost.

Eugenics is bad science, that includes the myth smart people have smart kids or dumb people have dumb kids.
- Sure, but chances are low that uneducated people are going to great lengths to make sure their children are well educated.
  One of the most horrifying things I've encountered in my career as a teacher was a father who insisted that his incredibly bright high school senior not accept a college scholarship because, and I quote: "I didn't go to college, and you're not better than me."
at least they won't be mine and I won't have wasted my life raising them. They can go ahead and ruin it all for themselves.

I just don't want anyone new to come to this atrocious world.

The likes of musk are breeding like crazy though, arguing against a "population collapse". But idk if the rest of the little musks would be willing to fill in the white collar jobs that made daddy rich in the first place.

Oh, just fuck right off. If you don't want children, just don't have children and shut up about it instead of making yourself feel superior by making it a moral thing. And if you're actually just concerned about them ending up in the meat grinder of exploitation, get organized to rid the world of the capitalists and save all the children from that fate. Stop whining about how terrible the world is and start making it better.

Antinatalism was huge with techbros on Reddit, sad to see it’s here too.

its like i found my people. while also against pro-creating, i'm pro-abortion too. if we could cause extinction, we could be heroes.

God, would then be forced to create a world worth living in. unless we stop him from doing this to us, we will be forced to return.

All this has happened before, and all this will happen again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again...
