Anti-Natalism - A solution for ending materialistic human suffering

[bringa]

In the material realm, Anti-Natalism is the solution to end all human suffering. Some people tend to straw man it by saying that I'm talking about genocide or I should kill myself; the answer a straight BIG NO. 

It's about stopping procreation. Don't procreate. End of story.

This philosophy might be true on some level but it's just not practically feasable to think this way. As much as I may always be among the first ones to notice and point of all the ways in which life sucks, or just anything sucks. However, this is sort of like admitting defeat in life because non existence would be better than existence, and makes any kind of motivation for self improvement very limited or essentially impossible, it is similiar to being a socialist in this way, except on a much larger scale.

I don't think it is very probable that I will ever produce children, however I cannot seem to concede the idea of ever having one, or ever having a family, it is sort of like yielding to life and/or being anti-life, it is just not feasable to think this way for me.

God celebrates life. You dont need to have kids but to become anti baby shows that no one celebrated your life so you are angry.

Interesting concept, never heard of it before, but I sort of am in that space, I have a child already that is an adult, but I do not want to bring anymore children into this messed up world, for sure, unless the are on the spiritual path from day one, they will suffer allot.  The world has changed a ton since I was a kid in the 70's, and its getting worse by the year, so why bring another human to a hell hole that this place is going to be, makes no sense!
