    I love how your second quote literally and purposely leaves off the last part so you can fuel your argument better. Some people don’t need to be misinformed, they do it to themselves!

    Overpopulation is not “anti-natalism”, overpopulation is literally a known and measured problem of biological populations, but some people like to make-believe that it doesn’t apply to humans. Cue “but population really is falling (except not really because we keep bringing immigration from places with lower quality of life and then complain when ours continues to be lowered)” when it itself is an indication that we are reaching the limits and yet are still trying to push past them.

    As an aside, lol at new labels like “anti-natalism” showing up that stereotype arguments launched against them, it reminds me of how the GQP has adopted their “woke”-ness label just because it gave them a term to band things that had existed for ages under. I’m sure “antinatalism” will serve as well - not blaming you for it, just realized the term was being paraded around and that it will work out just about as well as “woke”.

    Yes, I’m sure the consequences would be horrible if we stopped, but that’s the thing, being already in a shit load of trouble if you pull out is sort of a prerequisite of sunk cost fallacies.
