Is anti-natalism legit?

[sevensources]

I sometimes wonder why people breed kids to suffer in this world.

Guys without a clue, bringing babies to starve in poverty and die at age 5 like why? So much unneccesary suffering.

Its legit if you want to end human suffering by its root tbh

everyone who discovers anti-natalism thinks they found some secret knowledge that no one else knows, or the idea at the bottom of all ideas. The truth is, life sucks sometimes but there is nothing you can do about it, so I try my best to forget about collapsology, antinatalism, and other weird pessimistic ideas cause life is too short to be living it in fear.

People with higher sentience "discover anti-natalism" at a young age due to the realization that suffering is inherent.

only abused dogs with shitty childhood discover anti-natalism. I was a very existential child but never discovered anti-natalism because there was no need.

my childhood was horrible so maybe that's why

literally if life is all suffering then what's the point of bringing more life on the earth

Depends, if you're ugly and poor, your kids end up abused dog alcoholics. If you're good looking and rich, your kids will end up happy successful people.

I've been an antinatalist for 5+ years now since a teen. It's the main reason why I dont plan to have kids. This is still the best argument for anti-natalism (in my opinion) becuse it's so simply explained with logic, as explained by David Benatar (you should read his books. I can also suggest you other authors). And humans having an innate Optimism Bias:

The argument is that there is no inherent intrinsic value to being alive/existing. Alot of people like to make the argument that we're here on this earth and should be rejoicing jfl. Yet if you were never born, you wouldn't be missing out on anything since you never existed in the first place. If it were up to me, I personally would choose to never have existed.


Also, just lol at people trying to cope with the blackpill. I slay and am in the top 5% of income earners of my age bracket. I still have my views that humans should be extinct. I'm not suicidal nor am I depressed. There is this big misconception that all anti-natalists are these depressed people who had bad childhoods. I arrived at my conclusion from logic and bouncing around philosophical ideas. I used to read dozens of philosophical and political theory books and watch literally hundreds of debates. Religious talking points are very moot. Antinatalism and existential-nihilism makes the most sense to me.

Genetic deadends "discover anti-natalism" at a young age due to the realization that their genetic makeup is inherently inferior.

Yes, but the majority of genetic dead-ends will never conceptualize "anti-natalism." And the majority of breeders will be genetically inferior to another breeder. An oldcel SEAmaxxer who has to use his immigration benefits to knock up a jungle creature once is inherently genetically inferior to Pookie, who had five baby mommas before getting shot in the head at 22 by a rival gang member.
