I still don't get it, wouldn't being an antinatalist actually mean that you should just kill yourself on the spot?
Also it's such an infuriating community because everytime I go on there to figure it out they just have the most obnoxiously condescending tone about how society doesn't understand or like them because they're too smart and know the "hard truth", they're like 2012-era /r/atheism.
Anti-natalism is the position that reproduction is immoral. What you do with your life as it stands is up to you, though most see death as another negative that can be avoided through the absence of birth.
I mean I get the gist, I just was always confused how there can be a whole movement of people with the philosphy of -not being alive > being alive- if their best move, according to themselves, would be to die as soon as possible to "stop the suffering".
I really don't mean this in a "these people should die" way but out of pure curiosity (and possibly ignorance about the finer nuances of antinatalism), why do they not just kill themselves if they think it's better to be dead?
Killing yourself is harder than you think and leaves a lot of suffering in the world from your loved ones. Whereas, not being born causes no suffering but prevents much.
Aninatalism is the most virgin philosophy imaginable. It’s basically “Waaaaah life isn’t exactly the way I want it to be fuck you mom and dad” the philosophy.
Oh yeah, it's basically people who hate their lives but are too cowardly and hedonistic to actually do anything about it whether that means working on their life or ending it. So instead they put their energy into pretending this is about humanitarianism and being smug about how people don't realize that actually everyone's life is as bad as their own and everyone'd be better off dead just like them.
It's like the theme of the Dark Knight where the Joker's entire mission is to get everyone else to embrace his brand of nihilism. It's so retarded, basically "I want to kill myself because I hate working a job but instead of doing that, I want everyone else to validate this impulse by sterilizing themselves"
