Antinatalists aren't "cringe"

They're just brave enough to say the quiet part aloud

Do all antinatalists start as childfree individuals with little concern about preventing suffering of potential future humans? #childfree #antinatalists https://www.instagram.com/p/CUX1YXEtXMd/?utm_medium=tumblr

I hate #antinatalists. 😒🙄 They love to bash people who choose to have kids. You don't want em, that's your problem. You have your reasons. But don't classify me as adding to the so-called #overpopulated world because I decided to have kids. Fuck off with that bullshit mentally. . THE 'WORLD' IS NOT OVERPOPULATED. The CITIES are. #getitright 🤬💯 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuyuR9Zh_4d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qs3glc2elj8u

And a mature, cooperative, star-faring human civilization would need only a tiny fraction of its resources to deploy an army of invisible quad-copters to administer the same palliative care to nearly every animal on Earth at the time of its death.

While I think it's valuable to challenge pro-life sentiments and question the assumption that a notional God was right to create our world, when it comes to practical lobbying, we should push for goals that are more acheivable -- such as researching humane slaughter of fish opposing habitat conservation, and spreading concern for preventing extreme suffering.

Even though I think discouraging human reproduction probably causes net harm to wild animals, I welcome the antinatalism movement all things considered, because this group of people recognizes the seriousness of extreme suffering and presents an important intellectual challenge to the common assumption that life is a blessing even if it contains excruciating horrors.
