Discussion Do you support the ideology of anti-natalism?

[sannoji]

i respect the philosophy and i despise people who have children just for the hell of it/have children when they do not intend to care for them properly. i hate the way i've been told i owe some kind of debt to my parents for bringing me into existence. however i wouldn't say i'm antinatalist, i just wish people would recognise that people never asked to be born and should never owe some kind of debt for a decision someone else made for them.

 

[redeyepiranha]

Yes, I support, but wouldn't oppose my views on others. I wouldn't not because some people are happy blah blah blah, I was born to people who are glad to be alive and here I'm miserable as fuck, but because it won't make difference and it's none of my business.

I heavily support antinatalism, mostly because of the fact that any parent can decide to create a life, but ending your life peacefully (euthanasia) is heavily restricted and looked down upon. Yes, existing equals suffering and pain, but if suicide was easily accessible, you could choose to end that pain anytime. Sadly that's not possible and might never be. If it's not possible to end suffering, then nobody should create beings that can and will suffer without being able to do anything to stop it.

I dobut it. I just want to die.

 

[CentreMid]

Yes. I believe that bringing life into this world will cause more suffering than good. Existence itself means suffering, it would be better to simply not exist

 

[Unknown21]

Yes, definitely. Life is hellish and don't fit for living.
