Should Buddhism be understood as a weak version of antinatalism?

My apologies. I do not mean to put fourth that you implied that however I am just asking what do you think?
-
No apologies necessary. I think practicing is worthwhile even if you live in a society you don't think is ideal. When it comes down to it, the only thing I know with certainty is that there is suffering. So it's worthwhile to try to reduce one's own suffering and that of others.

Someone pointed out to me that it isn't really useful to fantasize abstract notions of an enlightened society. I think that's a good point. It isn't all-or-nothing. What can we do right now? We can help ourselves and others around us, because that is what's directly addressable.
-
Yeah, I think both statements are very good points.
