    from a “carbon footprint” perspective, making new humans is the worst thing a human could do for their footprint.

    this is actual eugenicist propaganda. you should stop spreading it.

        as i mentioned in the other subthread, eugenics is often used synonymously with genocide, which is the meaning i was connoting.

          Genocide is not being suggested.

          Genocide is against the other’s will.

          I am not suggesting any kind of violence.

            propaganda that encourages one segment of the population to “voluntarily” cease procreation is a method of genocide.

              Who said anything at all about “one segment of the population”?

              I didn’t. Maybe I’m wrong, but I didn’t see anybody in the present thread talk about “one segment of the population.”

              I do NOT think only one segment of the population should cease procreation.

              I think everyone everywhere should stop procreation.

              But they won’t. How could they, when humans have no freewill to choose?

              We will continue making more pointless copies of each other till some outside force stops us from reproduction, like a giant meteor hitting the earth or the sun expanding to engulf the earth or the earth becoming so hot masses of humans die from the heat or some massive highly fatal pandemic destroys humans.

              I can’t imagine what is so exciting about our existence in the first place, that causes us to continue on and on.

                humans have no freewill

                then ethics are an illisuion and the fact that you think everyone “should” stop procreating is a farce. there is no “should” without the ability to choose.

                they’re not talking about it. tehy’re talknig to it. they’re literally propagandizing english-speaking fediverse users to stop procreating.

                  What is so terrible about not reproducing?

                  Nothing. Nothing at all.

                  I didn’t reproduce. And all I feel is relief. I am happy that I had no children. They won’t have to suffer in this hell of a world.
