antinatalism is ofc about personal elimination of "breeding", not societal; it's aesthetic, not philosophical. but this is fine

the same for veganism & environmentalism; aesthetics are the only way someone will put skin in the game for their beliefs

But antinatalism, like environmentalism, has to be a collective endeavour if it is to be effective. It has to be about a community's valuation of life or the environment

yes. but ideologies don't exist in vacuum in present waiting for their ideal future, and it's relevant why people choose them today

Exactly - which is why anti-natalism can't just be written off as a personal choice when there will inevitably be a ripple effect. In the case of a personal love of one's environment this is good, of course. But it's unwise to write off antinatalists as harmless eccentrics

i don't think i am, my point is that their aesthetic valuation of not inflicting children on the world (related to a logical valuation, but different) is the point, not the vehicle for an endgame

i.e. the environmentalist has to foster a collective love of one's local environment (locally is the only way it can be effective) as the antinatialist has to foster a collective contempt for life. Veganism or antinatalism only as a private choice is impotent
