Millions of people are disappearing right now due to dying but when I make videos lamenting it I get called an antinatalist and then told to kill myself.
I don’t understand the anti-antinatalist stuff. Having a kid is literally the worst thing you can do to the environment. Shouldn’t we reckon with that?
Reckon with human life itself being bad for the environment? No, I don’t think we should reckon with that, because the only actionable conclusions from that assumption are “we should make being alive less bad for the environment” where you end up on the same page as everybody else or “we should all die.”
I’m kind of antinatalist, but where the child is born makes a huge difference. A single USian is practically the same carbon footprint as some whole villages in Africa, SE Asia, and elsewhere
But also 70% of carbon emissions are from 100ish companies, and “carbon footprint” was coined by ExxonMobil Mobile to deflect from this fact. Or maybe it was Shell.

Literal ecofascist , “muh overpopulation” talking point
Right here, in living color for you:
now compare the emissions of having a child to military activities and billionaires using their jets constantly for like 30 minute trips
Obviously those things are on a different scale, but there are 3.7 million children born in the US alone every year.
That means it would take 193 million people -per year - switching to an entirely car-free lifestyle to negate that.
Or 400 million people per year switching to a plant-based diet.
Billionaires and the military doing bad stuff doesn’t justify the ecological harm of enlarging the human population.

no, the worst thing for the environment are the 100 companies that are poisoning everything, every day, all the time.
Yes but those 100 companies are made up of adult babies. Babies are evil.
