Stop having children. There are more than enough people on the planet as it is, we don't need any more. We're all full up, thank you. Stop. Having. Kids. Reasons to stop having kids:
- They consume too many resources over the course of their life; your kid drains resources from the rest of the world. Is that what you want?
- Human beings contribute to ecological ruin through overfishing, deforestation, and other such activity, and that includes human overpopulation
- Your kid probably won't amount to much anyway, and if the technocrats succeed in making AI that displaces the entire workforce, then your kid will live in squalor as a result of a lack of economic opportunity, and that's the last thing you want, right?
- The Halocene Extinction is ongoing and we're all going to die, DON'T YOU GET IT, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE, LARGE SWATHES OF THE PLANET WILL BECOME INHOSPITABLE AND WE'LL BE PACKED LIKE SARDINES INTO THE LANDMASSES THAT ARE LEFT. Is that what you want, for your kid to live in jobless purposeless squalor in a slum with third-worlders from the global south, who they have to fight against tooth and nail in order to secure for themselves what little resources that remain?
- Kids are a pain in the ass anyway, and you won't be able to write that book, or develop that game, or do whatever it is that you wanted to do if you have to drop everything to tend to your child (and you're a piece of shit if you delegate the child rearing to someone else like your in-laws)
- Basically, there are no upsides to having a child, save for the boost to your ego that you might gain for having successfully achieved the biological imperative (not that impressive, I know crackheads who managed to pop out some kids)
There are many more reasons, I'm sure, but that's more than enough for you to chew on. STOP. HAVING. CHILDREN. STOP IT. Don't do it. You help no one, least of all the child you bring into this boiling piss pot of a planet.
I don't think we need any more population growth but you're not gonna manage that through individual shame. Promote sex education and condom use. Also do everything possible to destabilize the Catholic Church so they have no influence.
>>820837Why the Catholic church? Right now I think it's more the Evangelicals and Muslims.
>>820780Every thing you said is correct. It’s unfortunate that the replies are taking you out of context.
I’m an antinatalist but I hate how antinatalism is being used to justify misopedia.
“Kids take too much resources” all the while celebrating new adult toys that take up more energy than a few hundred kids
>>819693>it's considered wrong to discriminate against people in general. People like to say “we are all one” but yet they only criticize certain forms of discrimination.
This website for example, allows and promotes cishetphobic misandry.
> there are too many people is about as simple as I get it for you. we can't kill people who are already alive, the only way to address overpopulation is by reducing the birthrate. I know that makes you nazi larpers big mad because some of your rhetoric revolves around increasing the white birthrate, but the environment is more important than preserving your genetics, and also brown people should be having less kids, too.Why do you assume that I’m a white supremacist? Irony is, there’s a lot of white supremacists whom are all for depopulation although only for non-white people.
>eugenics is pseudoscience hogwash with no basis in reality, and I would not be against the cessation of certain genetic profiles being proliferated via pregnancy if it is scientifically certain that those genetics will result in defects.So there should be no qualms about people wanting to abort their fetuses if they find out they’re autistic.
> you can't kill a fetus, it's a fetus, and morality doesn't really factor into it unless you're some fundamentalist christian type who already sees the fetus as a person.Fetuses are people though. Without fetuses, there’s no people.
Do you believe people gain sentience the moment they pop out of the womb?
You’re seriously ignorant of you think that.
Granted, fetuses don’t start out sentient, they do gain heartbeat and nerves after a certain developmental stage.
But okay then, by your logic, if people started aborting fetuses for certain ethnicities or genders, then there’s no problem, because fetuses aren’t people.
I would be more in favor of strong contraceptives. Such as egg harvesting or spermicide.
>>819623why should I care that some people on reddit might have enough sense to understand that climate change is a result of human activity, and that only humans can make the choice to reduce that activity? good, I'm glad people on reddit understand that. why don't you?
>>820839Catholic Church is still the biggest anti-birth control organization in the world, especially in Africa and South America.
>>820837You can actually get the normoids to stop breeding and shoving dick in pussy if you get enough people to shame them. Let's be real, we'd have to discourage people from being cishets to get to stop spawning clones.
>>821565The way it's going now it's good enough. People are just producing 1 or 2 kids generally which is really all you need. It's just that people would generally go overboard in having children in the past which is why we're stuck with so much people today. That and improved conditions and childhood vaccinations helped swell the population. A gradual and managed decline would be for the best at this point.
Every time I see one os these
threads I will puncture 100 condoms at the local pharmacy.
>>821565 Fucking pussies will always be better than fucking a mentally ill man's asshole, sry not sry.
>>815537In 50 years people like OP will go extinct. Why did I even get mad about this?
>>818089joke does not work on any level
>>821569It's not enough, we need to stop the breeding completely, nobody should have kids at all.
>>821995>>821997Kill yourself fascist.
>>819362>hurr durr dem dirty libs dun wan yew ta hab cheeldrin?! fuck dat y'all should have 20 cheeldrin jus ta fuk wit em!!!Gigachad does this.
>>815551wages actually increase after pandemics because the supply of labor power is much lower.
>>822466I know multiple couples who wanted multiple children but settled with just having 1 after their first child turned out autistic. What's remarkable is that the "smart" couples who wait until they are 30 and have a stable career to have kids are finding out that it doesn't matter how "smart" they were. The people who don't use contraception will just keep pumping them out no matter how fucked up things get.
The global birth rate is going to keep going down however because more and more societies are getting access to contraception and more men and women are rejecting the idea of starting a family altogether.
>>821995i think the most baffling thing about your post is that you were able to find a getty stock image of someone puncturing a condom with a baby pin.
So it looks like another woman is pregnant at my workplace that makes 3 for this school year. They're all teachers. I wonder if they wanted the kids more or their husbands wanted them more? I bet at least one more chick at my workplace will get pregnant. I think I heard that one of those chicks didn't even like kids that much. Although she's the only one that's going to be a new mother. She was also the best looking of the three. She has a big thick ass, very lustworthy.
>>819198every progressive is sex positive and says yes to fetishes until its no longer busting balls and revenge pegging, they turn puritan on the moids
>>815885>I guess what one could do is establish state regulated child rearing>And of course, there'd have to be punishments for unauthorized procreation>It's no more authoritarian than the hoops that people have to go through to maintain their driver's licenseBarely anyone requires you to see a psychiatrist if you want to get a driver's license and nobody punishes you Medieval style for failing the test or driving without passing it.
What, do we throw everyone having kids without a loicense in a labor (hehe) camp? If the woman is already pregnant, does she get a trip to a makeshift abortion clinic?
>>820799The person in the third pic is the OP in the second, she thought about poisoning her sister for not being persuaded by her arguments.
The anon who keeps posting about pregnant coworkers. Just found out another coworkers wife is pregnant expecting his second child. That's at least 4 pregnancies in this school year and we're still. These people really like to breed.
>>826323*We're still at the beginning of the school year.
>>826323Don't give us this shit Nobaldi cares about, do something. Expose them to antinatalism or tell them that their kids will be annoying and stupid crotch spawn or report them to the HR because they're selfish breeding cultists and are offending your childfree sensibilities and destroying the environment or just punch them in the belly if they refuse to stop popping out sprogs.
>>815537The real problem is that there's too many men. Men are like male kangaroos
>>821926The problem in the vidrel is that the man is stupid. All of the overpopulation problems that the OP mentioned are caused by stupidity. Nobody needs sports cars.
>>826378I know no one cares but three of those teachers all have their classrooms right next to each other so did they all conspire to get pregnant at the same time? I wonder? Anyways one of the pregnant chicks looks like she has a fatter ass now that she's pregnant so I wonder if she'll have a fatter ass and bigger titties after the baby comes? Now I think I see why her husband got her pregnant. Can't wait to see her after the baby.
>>815820>>823791>>826323>>826396What do you want us to do? Try talking to the women at your school that they should slow down their baby making or sum.
>>826691I just hyper focused on that. I just found it kind of odd that so many people are having children at the same time especially in one place and also because three of them are in classrooms next to each other. Two of them are in the same grade level so they already coordinate with each other. But that's the one dude that's having a baby with his wife and the other one is the chick with the fat ass. She's got the second most enticing ass on campus a different teacher who's not pregnant has the most enticing one though. Also I knew my persistent attention to these irrelevant matters would get engagement since it's a bit odd.
>>826693>I just found it kind of odd that so many people are having children at the same time especially in one placeThis is literally how most people are and also jobs that require to work with kids attract people who want kids of their own. You should have been surprised if they were all childfree instead.
>>826790Actually you're probably right. I don't think I've ever met anyone in real life who calls themselves childfree or antinatalist. I wouldn't call myself that even if I do have my sympathies. The people who call themselves that, especially childfree, just rub me the wrong way maybe because I've worked around children the last few years they don't seem that bad even if I'm literally cleaning their shit. People seem to judge young a bit too harshly sometimes. But then again so do the people who are always going on about not there being enough babies. That's a bit more cringe in my opinion.
>>815537>and you're a piece of shit if you delegate the child rearing to someone else like your in-laws)Is this what the thread is about? Your extended family asks you to watch their kid for a while and that means nobody should have kids ever?
>>815572>Most antinatalists aren’t “weird”.>Misopedia has hijacked antinatalism. The popularized form of antinatalism in media is misopediacSo which one is it?
>>828319Seems very childish.
>>829455What other planets have civilizations?
>>829455>(on every planet) What about planets whose inhabitants replicate with mitosis?
>>829455>thats how civilisation (on every planet) works OPWhats you sample size?
>>829456>>829457>>829459At least space out your posts by a few minutes.
>>829802I think it was three different people or at least two. I was
>>829456 but not the other two.
It's funny to think but I believe my parents are some of the few elderly couples that I know of that don't have grandkids and they're both 70+. Neither me nor my two siblings opted to have children. I don't think any of us ever wanted any but also part of the reason is because we went to school till early adulthood and kept living at home till our 30s. I'm still living at home at 42. I wonder how much of the decision wasn't just based on arrested development? Especially in my case. I think my sister who's the oldest of us 3 probably lived the fullest life of all us siblings since she traveled and had romantic partners and currently is in a long term relationship. But she was adamant about not having children and stuck to it even with a long term partner. In my and my brothers case it's probably more related to being mamas boys that didn't go out much. Although my brother, who's younger, does currently have a house of his own. But like me I don't believe he's ever dated. Honestly, I'm not even sure if he likes females, I'm pretty sure he does but then again it wasn't something we ever discussed given our lack of dating life. I suppose it has largely benefited us since he does have his own house and I have a decent amount saved up. Just interesting to ponder.
>>829860Womankind already did.
>>829869Women still get pregnant though and the world's population still grows by about 100 million every year.
>>830051Yeah but they already made anon not reproduce.
>>830052You think so? There are posters who are parents.
>>830284Fucking depressing, aint it?
>>830285What's so depressing about /leftypol/acks becoming parents? Better us than the /pol/ clittycels.
question, if a man donates his semen and helps grow 10 kids but he himself never has sex, would he technically be a virgin?
>>830299If you didn't have sex, you're a virgin, so he's a virgin either way.
