Humanity is a species of natural-born killers. We are the nonpareil of predators. We kill one another, animals, and ecosystems at an alarming rate. Gradual, voluntary extinction puts an end to all of this misery. Antinatalism is compassion in action. #antinatalism #ecocide #genocide #ChildFree

Whether or not you decide to have kids is entirely up to you, but it is perfectly normal to have doubts. Many people will try to pressure you into having children, especially your own family. But if you feel that it's not right for you, then you should stick to your guns. #Antinatalism #ChildFree

These children suffer because they have been thrust into a world they did not choose and stuck in circumstances they cannot control. Life may seem like a gift when you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth. But what is it when you aren't?

To be born is to begin to die, and to die is to finish dying; this is intolerable to human beings, and we have to cling to something; precisely, one of the evils of life is that it forces us to cling to it without conditions, even when life is of terrible quality.

The confronting climate change disrupter you probably didn't think of Elon Musk believes the collapsing birth rate is humanity's biggest danger. But antinatalists argue having kids is little more than a procreational Ponzi scheme, and the risks are real.
