Trying to explain antinatalism to a bunch of traditional minded people is very exhausting. Even when you are nice, polite, cordial, you get attacked bc you "want the human species to die out"... people just don't get it.

We do want the species to die out, don't we? I mean, the whole idea of anti-nataling is to be anti-breeding. Hence, the species will die out.

We do, but unfortunately, these people see antinatalism as a bad thing. It's hard to get through to optimists + pronatalists. Some people will never get it, but at least I tried ๐คทโโ๏ธ.

You can't take on mainstream normies and expect them to make a 180 degree turnaround. You have to select people who are ripe for the idea, people who have some leanings already in that direction.

Youโre a 100% correct. That was my mistake. They were attacking my AN views so I needed to defend myself.

There's nothing wrong with defending your view and presenting your case, but don't expect the hive mind people to convert all of a sudden. There are some people who are open to the AN idea and those are the ones you want to invest your time and energy into.
Replying to
I donโt expect to convert them. I only wish theyโd not be so hostile to AN, thatโs all. But yes, youโre right.

Almost everyone is hostile against anything and everything right now. I mean, just watch or read a little bit of the news. The world is coming unglued.
