      Exactly what part of that is eugenics? Deciding not to have kids, or recognizing the environmental impact of the choice?

        “There’s too many people on earth” is a eugenicists talking point by affluent westerners. It’s a short slippery slope from there to completely dehumanizing humans born in nations deemed “lesser than”

          My main argument for antinatalism is that there are too many idiots willing to reproduce and raise children as bigger idiots than they are.

            Instead of dehumanizing people for being born in a crowded, exploited region you dehumanize them for being less educated than you.

                  Anti intellectuals, jingoists, gun fetishists, imperialists and right wingers are objectively worse that everyone else who’s not any of these things. This has nothing to do with me specifically.
