    Antinatalism isn’t just a personal decision to not have kids, it’s an ideological belief that having kids is morally wrong.

      This is an overgeneralisation which completely misses the nuance. Antinatalism does not postulate that it’s morally wrong to procreate, only that it is morally wrong to bring another human consciousness into a soup of suffering, which… yeah, kinda’! I mean, is the world not presently a soup of suffering, with extra helpings on the way?

      Personally, I doubt most people who subscribe to Antinatalism would do so if society weren’t literally a hell hole right now.
