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.
- No it is not. It has nothing to do with eugenics. Nothing at all.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics#Meanings_and_types
  
  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.
  
  I didn’t. Maybe I’m wrong, but I didn’t see anybody in the present thread talk about “one segment of the population.”
  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.
  
  You can still have ethics with no freewill.
  You just can’t freely choose your ethics.
  
  no, you can't, because you can't choose your actions. it's a farce.
  
  this is just more eugenicist propaganda.
  
  Thank you for reminding me of the pointlessness of talking to human beings.
  
  i hope you escape your misanthropy.
  
  I am not a eugenicist. Eugenicists think the world or people can be improved. I do not think the world or existence can be improved. I do not think humans can be improved.
  If you really are a "commie" (like your username) then you think the world and humans, or the system can be improved. You have more in common with eugenics than I do.
  Also, I am not a misanthrope. I do not hate human beings. I just think existence is an inescapable horror, that can never be fixed. That human beings and other animals suffer constantly.
  But I am in the minority in my views. I am in an infinitesimally small minority.
  You and the rest of humanity go on without me. I have no interest in the future. Or any of the innumerable schemes for utopia paradise: not christian/religious, not communist, not capitalist, not back to nature, not transhumanist, not satanic, not materialist, not idealist.
  People will do what they always do. I have no interest. We are all aimed at non-existence and there is nothing that can be done about that.
  I go delete all my replies now.
  
  I go delete all my replies now.
  why?
