I'm an antinatalist. It's a different mindset, and it's focused on "not losing," i.e. by not playing the game at all. This is in contrast to the more common mindset of focusing on "playing to win." In the fight-or-flight paradigm, it is choosing flight. I'd be curious to know what personality traits other antinatalists have, include their fear response.
These futureless left, whether consciously or not, are going on a birthstrike. This is a combination of a protest but also opting out of the future if things don't change for the better.
You may disagree and/or dislike it, but that's my take on what it is about.
I just figure if I do have kids, there are very few things that will be better than I have now. It's not really fear just I don't want my kids to live through the worst weather/shortages/pollution ever + companies being better than ever at trying to manipulate people and suck their life away.
It's also that having a family steeply increases your exposure to an unfair system that you don't want to be even more of a slave to.
