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.

Anyone can have as many children as they want, if they can support, provide and care for them, otherwise they become other people's problem.

I mean yes, but also if people want to retire they need a workforce to keep society running, no? This is not me advocating for having kids, but for society helping raise kids.

Why is a workforce required for society to keep running if somebody wants to retire, I am not so certain on that premise.

They need food, housing, medicine, (medical) care?
