You have to be literally retarded to be an anti-natalist. The very fact you could dislike existence is due to you existing. Stay, or get the fuck out. Same goes for your stupid hypothetical children that won't like being born, they can choose to die and it will be like they never existed. You've been given a chance, it's yours to take or squander, just make sure you thank your folks for presenting it to you before you head out.

>The very fact you could dislike existence is due to you existing

But that's not true, Anon. I disliked existence even before I came into existence. And I will continue to dislike it even after I return to non-existence.

Everyone dislikes existence, they just don't have the balls to say it. Admit it, you dislike it too, but you tell yourself that you do, in order to cope. Because you are afraid of non-existence. The prospect of dwelling eternally without any physical form disturbs you. As for us anti-natalists, that prospect brings us inner peace. We know that existence is a curse, a temporary state of evil.

I'm not a strict antinatalist anymore but it's not that simple. Most suicidal people don't attempt suicide, and most of those who do don't succeed. Our instincts make it extremely hard to commit suicide, and trust me, I've been there multiple times. So shut the fuck up, frogposter.

antinatalism is the "take your ball and go home" of philosophy - they're miserable, they want to be miserable, being miserable is a fundamental part of their identity and they're just going to invent whatever arguments they need to justify why they shouldn't have to change and why they're right and everyone else is wrong
the entire argument comes off as a like a child throwing a tantrum, they're just pathetic and broken people and the reason i advocate that they should (and should be allowed to) commit suicide is mostly due to how fucking sick i am of them instead of any actual ideological position on the matter in general

miserable people who want to justify their internalized unhappiness can't approach the truth because they're working backwards from their conclusion. it's like a reverse-cope, where instead of making up reasons to not be miserable, you instead make up reasons why your misery is inevitable, meaningful, and outside of your control. you see this kind of logic in "depressed" people a lot - you might ask them questions like "oh you're depressed, that sucks dude, do you like exercise or have positive life goals or whatever?" and they're like "how dare you insinuate that my mental illness is in any way controllable by me, i am biologically defective and have absolutely no responsibility for my emotions whatsoever". i've seen variations on this from countless "depressed" people, and to me, antinatalism is just codifying that mental illness of depression (with all of the irrationality and self-deception that goes with it) into an ideology instead of actually attempting to resolve their own emotional problems
if they would open their minds to the possibility that there are states of being that don't involve infinite suffering (like they apparently experience on a momentary basis), they would definitely chill out about the whole "all humanity should just die because we get sad sometimes" thing

Nice cop-out there. My main argument is that yes, some people are happy. But they are so out of ignorance, because to be happy is to be in a state of enjoyment at living in the world. But living in the world is a curse (we presume that anti-natalism is correct). So when people are on their death-bed, or when they are suffering hard-ship, famine, divorce, break-up, or war, then they are not happy any more. That is because the illusion which was their happiness has been dispelled. In the end, life on earth entails inescapable suffering so being happy is bad.

Life has always, and will always be, suffering. Most of your greatest literacy works were from suffering, art pieces, music and many others. Objectively speaking, the world is a harsh and awful place to live in, in many many countries. But to remain somewhat happy AND being able to perceive the world for its miseries is what makes a truly unique person.

Okay. Inside of a seed of a sun-flower, is contained the "form", if you will, of a sun-flower. But the seed of a sun-flower is not a sun-flower. The sun-flower could not exist if it were not for the seed. But we get sun-flower seeds out of mature sun-flowers. So the question follows where did the first sun-flower seed come from? It must have come into existence before the existence of any sun-flower. So it MUST have appeared on its own volition, directly out of a state of 'BEING, but not EXISTING'. So being precedes existence.

15996892

anti-natalism isnt about disliking existance. its about not forcing non-existant beings into existance. even if existance was pure joy, forcing a non existant into existance wouldnt be good, because if you dont exist, joy is meaningless. i like existance, but i only like existance because i exist. add on top of that all the possible bad things that can happen like medical abnormalities, extreme bad luck and inevitable bad parenting (there is no such thing as good parenting, you WILL ruin your kids) giving birth becomes a bad idea. its obvious to me that natalism is a neccesary cope for people who have kids or want kids. i cant judge you if youre body requires that you have children, just like a body rejects suicide, but the correct (less morally ugly) way of responding to havng a kid, is apologizing to your kids.

>>15995856
>The very fact you could dislike existence is due to you existing
for this to make sense as an argument, one would have to like that they dislike existing. disliking existance is equally undesired as existance to an anti-natalist.
>they can choose to die
they will always have had lived and they will experience death which isn't the same as never having been. suicide is ugly, painful, you are internally forced to resist it.

By this logic, you say that, as a sperm or zygote, you knew that you disliked existence?
And besides, the seed itself exists. It simply changes form with time from one state to another.

Because that's how mutations work dummy. Over the course of billions of years, lifeforms (beginning with algae in the ocean) evolved to survive in different climates, including on land. The first sunflower seed came from a sunflower that was in some way different from those we know today.
It didn't appear out of it's own volition. The only "volition" a plant has is to take in water and nutrients, grow, and spread seeds. Occasionally those seeds come out different than expected and a new mutation is born.

And nothing you said has given merit to your claim that you disliked existence before you were born, or before you even knew what existence was.

Anti-natalism is simply having a reasonable amount of thoughtfulness and consideration. It's evident that a lot of people's lives are absolutely miserable (homeless people, drug addicts, chronic pain sufferers, etc – some people's lives are so miserable that they commit suicide in spite of the terror and the difficulty in overcoming our instincts), and there's no way to determine whether life is a good thing in the end. You couldn't make the calculation until it was over, and by that point you're dead. Even if you could somehow prove that someone's life was mostly good, you have absolutely no way of guaranteeing that you'd be able to grant that kind of life to your progeny. It's absolutely insane to create more sentient beings when for all you know their lives could be mostly made up of suffering, and when there's no need to do it, especially with the advent of easily available contraception. What's the point of doing it? Whatever happiness you might experience is only a temporary solution to the problem of the rest of life being tedium or outright agony, and there's no need to keep creating the problem. There's no need for the wheel to keep spinning, it's not going anywhere.
>>15995856
>and it will be like they never existed
Even if there's no soul or afterlife this isn't true, because they still lived and suffered. It happened. And there's no way to know whether there is anything more than this or not. For all you know this world is where souls are created and when we die we go to an eternal hell filled with unimaginable suffering. How could you be so insanely callous and selfish as to take the gamble of coming into existence in someone else's place?

They will exist if you make them, but by then it's too late. What the fuck is this argument? Should we not stop contributing to climate change if the people who will suffer from it haven't been born yet?
>>no i don't have any particular end in mind for wanting to the entire human race to end i just think that's an acceptable price to pay so that people aren't like, sad or whatever
What end do you have in mind for it to continue? What's the harm in it not continuing? Because there's plenty of harm in doing so. Stop trying to trivialize suffering you actual piece of subhuman trash. Tell people who have been tortured to death to stop being "sad or whatever." You have no justification.

you see, OP, there are two kinds of people, parasites and their owners. parasites are children, like children, they may be very happy, but they are pets, house animal, they are sponsored, parents or somebody else makes vital decisions from them, they did not have to deal with this toxic society till it poisons them. people are very toxic, even those who love each other and fuck each other cannot stand each other and divorce, cheat. and there are those who really create value in this world, economy, those who struggle, and who by paying taxes sponsor parasites. that is, you look like a house kitty who looks outside of window of moms basement, sees wild cats and moralizes how their world view is crippled, while it is yours world view is crippled, you are happy, but you are property, you are exhibition material.

>hurr durr me and baby gon die so nuthing matterss
well if nothing matters and life is suffering, kill yourself or stop being such a pathetic fucking cunt and whining about how babies don't want to be born. There are babies born who are fucking losers, like those who oppose natalists, and there are fucking chads who are sick kunts. Just because your fucking life is sad, doesn't mean every baby born is going to be a pathetic cunt like an anti-natalist faggot, whom projects himself onto the child assuming it would hate life.

I've chosen to never have kids, but I wouldn't identify myself as an anti-natalist. From my own anecdotal experience, it seems like anyone who takes a strong stance on either side of the subject is mostly doing so in some attempt of self-assurance that they stand for something; caring more for the perceived value that championing an opinion grants their identity, more so than life or death itself. The anti-natalists appear to be guilty of this more than the natalists--especially the ones who parrot their opinion in shallow depth. They struggle to rationalize their conflicting feelings of inadequacy and inflated sense of self-worth, as well as their fear and angers towards the world, resulting in the projection of their distorted conclusion and claiming it as objective reality. Perhaps the natalists are doing the same in their own manner; in a way of giving up and passing the question to future generations like a baton, in the hope that someone else will find a way to finish the race. I'm just musing, though.
