Let me tell you guys that AN is not about hatred against anyone. Well, we are here. Let's not be parents. And, let's spread this awareness. What's the point in hating one's parents? Is that going to make one 'unexist'?

Who said anything about hatred?

That seems to be the underlying message recurring again & again. Parents, parents, parents. Yes, the act of unconscious procreation has made a mess. I see that everyday here. It's not about why & how I got here but how and why I needn't replicate the horror, that needs to be told

People who breed replicate the horror, i.e. the parents. If you want to convince someone not to replicate the horror, make them conscious of how unconscious procreation is the culprit. It all stems from parenthood. Demystify parenthood. Show it for what it is

Kumar: Methinks you don't understand the essence of antinatalism. The word is 'anti - natalism' which means 'against - birth'. This explains the very crux of the matter. AN = anti-parenting or anti-breeding. This is fundamental. Without it, you do not have AN

Let's not digress. If your AN doesn't stem from hatred, I am fine with it. AN as a philosophy is current thanks to the pill. Earlier generations could not have dreamt of it. Sex is a powerful force and not easy to abstain from. I support AN in all persuasions as India needs them.

You apparently are not antinatalist. You might be child-free. But you don't seem to have a clue about antinatalism.

Haha. What a sweeping statement. I just said, let's not spew out personal animosities as a pretext for the philosophy. AN needn't be shrouded in hatred. It'll only put people off. If hatred is out, I am totally in. Thank you.

You don't even know what antinatalism is about. I've never seen you write anything that was antinatalist. Furthermore, if an AN hates their parents, it doesn't change the logic of AN. One should despise people who create more suffering & death.

When one is short of words in an argument it's always easy to say that the other is an ignoramus. I have no issues being labeled so
The fact, however, remains that anything that's built on hatred won't have its reach beyond the graves.
For me AN is always a positive philosophy

There's a bunch of people like you on Twitter claiming to be antinatalist but who don't understand it. I've given you ample time to address the issue. But, apparently, you are not able. AN is not about being childfree or about population control.
I dont see where he said this. I think all the venom doesnt really help much though. I'm AN and some of the posts are cringe, and I respect the right of that person to vent, but being so humorless and acting like parents act in malice gives a serious/legit philosophy a bad name.
