Brother if you think advocating for less population is "actual Evil" you're in for a real hard time out in the world.
How did you read "voluntary extinction" and arrive at "less population?"
Your assuming antinatalism is a plague that will infect everyone with "I aint having kids". 99% of people out here trying to have ten kids it seems. There are more trans people than antinatalists. Y'all are freaking out about a niche philosophy.
They're not advocating for a lower population. They're advocating for human extinction.
As in, we should all let the torch of consciousness burn out. I don't know if I'd call it evil, but it's definitely one of those severely misguided takes that you almost exclusively see on the internet.
It's bound to happen.
At current rate we will never leave this planet, and it will die. If not by climate change then the Sun will go Red Giant and swallow us. Or a meteor. Something. All species will go extinct sometime.
You're here afraid a few people believing that we should go extinct when there are 8 billion people and rising is gonna cause actual extinction. Fucking calm your tits, dude.
The global population will stabilize on it's own before the end of the century.
