Ah, yes the classic "everyone else who doesn't subscribe is deluded" echochamber red flag.

"Voluntary Extinction" is right up there with "flat earthers" and "anti-vax" as the dumbest pseudo-intellectual things I've read on the internet.

Your worldview is literally calling for the extinction of all humans. You need to come back to reality and stop convincing yourself that this is normal or healthy.

You call it pessimism, I call it realism.

Says every person with depression ever.

I agree with the other commenter recommending therapy. When you don't see it as "life is pain and the future is hopeless", you might sound less like a scifi villain calling for human extinction.

I think your perspective about life is blinded by pessimism, and you're treating that pessimism as absolute fact. Many people view life as a wonderful thing, are thrilled to exist for the time that they do, and see creating a new life to experience the wonders of living as a gift.

Humans are a plague upon both other humans and this planet as a whole

You're sounding like Agent Smith from the matrix. Come on. Unplug from the negative feedback loop for a bit.

It’s not eugenics, it’s voluntary extinctionism.

"Don't worry guys, that person doesn't represent us - what they should have said is that they wish for all of humanity to die out."

This is an absolutely insane thing to advocate for. I hope you come to realize that in time.

The antinatalism subreddit (and similar groups elsewhere) is one of the most toxic places on the internet. It just reeks of hatred, and worse yet, treats that hatred as some sort of virtue.

Go live your life however you want, kids or no. But grouping up to talk shit about children or people who start families is just gross.
