I'm really pissed someone changed the Wikipedia page for Antinatalism. I've noticed some edits recently that might suggest people opposed to the philosophy and ethical framework are submitting things.
E.g. here and here
The original or more common definition I found across the web in the past was "the philosophical position that assigns a negative value to birth." But now all I can find is "a philosophical view that deems procreation to be unethical or unjustifiable."
People love to write about antinatalism and so few seem to understand it.
While yes antinatalism is the philosophy, position and ethical framework (my definition) that bringing people into existence is unethical, it does not inherently advocate for anything. It merely posits and applies ethics to reproduction, human life and in some interpretations, other forms of life as well.
There are antinatalists who are supportive of the notion of people not having kids, and may espouse this attitude to people. That said, there is little cohesive or expansive organized advocacy, politically or otherwise. And eugencists do not count as (at least to my understanding) Antinatalism does not promote and is not rooted in eugenics.
And people far too often confuse the two. Further more, Elifism, which is associated as an offshot of Antinatalism, while taking a similar initial premise, is not the same. It actively encourages for humans and even other life forms to stop procreating and bring about mass extinction.
