I think it's stupid and worrying that their ideas are gaining traction.

I am not opposed to people not having children or representing themselves as a block, but the idea that having kids is bad is just plain dumb.

My own experience in life makes it reek a lot like mental health issues in those who are antinatalists.

Sure, if we had governments who cared for the wellbeing of their citizens, and companies that paid fair wages, but sadly we are just "human capital" or "human resources". I'm not contributing to that.

Haha yes things aren't great, but that's no reason to give up.

Agreed, but like I said, if you can love and care for them go ahead, because if you can't you might be putting a burden on society instead of contributing to it.
