Honestly, I don't wanna sound corny but I bet someone (a bad actor) will see this and then start going on a rant about the site again in some kind of blog/other forum/Youtube video, I think it's an amazing post to be made here, it mirrors a lot of what other people (including me) say about life in general and basically validates the feelings we have all had at one point

But I just know for a fact that someone's gonna see this and use it to justify hate against the forum and that pisses me off considering that the people running the movement are quite kind and understanding. Funnily enough, it ends up that only the good people voluntarily go extinct.

VHEMT was founded decades ago and anyone tying it to this forum would be especially stupid. They've been in the news forever already.

Perhaps, but I hope not. I think it's very appropriate, as mankind is such a shit show sometimes. It's food for thought. Been on my mind lately. I can't live my life in fear of what other people may, or may not do.

I find life in general to be a bit of a shit show all around. I feel like we are the only species right now that has the power to change this however we are making things worse and worse every year, somehow.

For example if all of us could advocate for anti-natalism tomorrow and be content with going through with it , we wouldn't NEED anti-natalism because for we to accept that would mean that we can recognize it to be a valid solution for our ongoing problems and accepting it furthers the fact that we have started using our brain power and compassion.

And at that point we might find a way to revert the damage we have done , to both each other and the planet. However the more and more we reject these ideas and squander and laugh at them, the more needed they are because it just shows that humans can't understand the concept of it.

But no, people belittle these movements, they go "you first" like they just hit their sickest most elaborate joke in their entire family tree. Buddy, if someone is screaming at you, I am afraid of , I want to get rid of, we are better of without; why don't you ask yourself "hmm, what if, BUT WHAT IF , these people might have a point?" , the ego would hurt bad , that's why they don't ask themselves this.

Problem is, the world is not on the same page. There are very different views and cultures that go back many years. To get the whole world in agreement is next to impossible, without force and even then.....

When people ask me why I don't want kids I'll say I'm joining the voluntary human extinction movement.

Getting humanity together with force is pointless, just like pushing a hexagon shape down a square hole until you mold it to fit, you get to the same result however what matters is not the destination and result but the journey.

For some going to the peak of a mountain matters a lot and it's a joy and for some it was a chore, even if both forget the peak of the mountain at one point, one will remember that day quite fondly and one will have a bitter taste in their mouth thinking about it.
