#antinatalism and Celine will be toxic. He was terribly antisemitic. Maybe, selectively active #antinatalism.

He was an asshole. He was also the greatest literary artist of the 20th century, not just my opinion, but, according to other great literary artists, such as Henry Miller, Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, to name a few.
Sure. But he can't be an icon for #antinatalism. People will run away from even debating real population problems.

No one ever said he was an antinatalist, although he provides much evidence as to why it would be wise not to procreate
