  • There is nothing inherently reactionary about antinatalism as a philosophical stance, but I suppose parts of it could be cherry picked and packaged in some sort of genocidal propaganda. It wouldn’t be the first time fascists did something like that.
    I’m curious as to your understanding of antinatalism, since you consider it reactionary.
    My own understanding: Someone who is never born is incapable both of a) experiencing and causing suffering (inevitable part of life) and b) missing positive experiences (as well as being missed themselves).
    Having children is a central part of our biology and therefore our society, so I get that most people react negatively and never spend time and effort on the subject. It’s one of those beliefs people are more likely to come to on their own than being “enlightened” by a 30 min vid. I think it is partly responsible for me now being vegan, at least the two feel closely connected as far as my values and beliefs go.
