I pray people stop having children.
Edit: to the hexbear user who accused me of ecofascism and asked "which people should stop having children?" my answer to you is:
Nobody should be having kids because the world is fucking ending.
Reproduction is stupid, selfish and immoral when we literally have a time line of between 6 and 25 years for running out of fresh water and arable land, and we're looking at 4+°c warming this century.
Hexbear is unfederated with piefed and I'm not going to torture my eyes trying to read this thread on its original instance again just to see if you respond, I'm pretty sure you're just going to accuse me of silly shit that doesn't make sense anyway. The last time I spoke to a hexbearer about antinatalism, they called me a eugenicist for talking about not having kids. Lmao.
Which people? Tell us who you would start with.
Claiming that the way to solve climate change is to get rid of people is ecofascism.
This statement just gave me an odd thought. Why not “everyone”. Who says the human race has to endure or continue? I guess that would be considered nihilism?
The word you’re looking for is “genocidal”.
I thought genocide was targeted against a specific race, ethnicity, etc. I’m talking the entire world.
Then there's even less of a future
The average carbon footprint for a person in the United States is 16 tons, one of the highest rates in the world.
Each new life adds more carbon and pollution to this world and will die suffering ftom resource scarcity.
How selfish can you be to bring yet more people into this hell world, just because you want to have a baby?
