it seems like the anti-natalist mindset is starting to take root in /r/Philippines and would like to hear what the fediverse has to say about it
Disclaimer : I’am a proponent of anti-natalism mainly cause of how messed up things have gotten from economy , politics and even societal norms I don’t necessarily wish for the extinction of the human race but rather for a paradigm shift on how we can break free from the infinite growth mindset given that we live in a finite world
I ain’t having kids, I don’t besmirch others who have or want to have them still, but I think it’s just become exceedingly clear and evident what our current trajectory as a species is, and that things in the future will not be getting better.
Making the purposeful decision to have a child is generally a statement of a lot of things the parents believe, we don’t need to break them all down because the biggest one is hope that things not only can but will be better.
There’s still a great deal ignorance and denial about the future of our world. But as people continue to learn and accept the more people will be opting out of parenthood
