This is good stuff: "Insisting life is a gift is a perverted coercion designed to impose a narrative of constant deficit paving the way for collective enslavement."

One of the first steps to breaking free from parental glorification, worship + enslavement.

It's not easy to break free. The Stockholm Syndrome-like hold the parents have over the child's psyche reaches deep into the subconscious realm, much deeper than merely recognizing it on an intellectual level.

Indeed. I talk about it more in this chapter inannagoddess.org/antinatalism/c. It is basically trauma bonding.

That's a difficult topic. Most don't make these distinctions until much later in life, around middle age, or even later, if they ever recognize the trauma bond at all. The guilt and shame of "disrespecting" or "dishonoring" one's parents is formidable.

Social norms derived from culture, tradition + religious belief systems reinforce these trauma bonds making it difficult to break free. Our whole civilisation is built on trauma in some form. Very few people break free from it - mostly those estranged from their elderly parents.

Agreed. Just being born, and then trying to appease the parental units and siblings is traumatic. Then there's school and work, all of the intimidation and bullying and abuse that goes along with that. The only solution is antinatalism.
