Antinatalism is what you get when a narcissist is suicidal. “If I shouldn’t live, nobody should!”
Antinatalism =/= Misanthropy
Except he was the only one who died?
He targeted an empty building. But this is going to be spread more than any right wing mass shooter in the last decade.
Targeted an empty building and somehow missed... still managing to hospitalize 4 other people.
I doubt the 4 people who were immediately released from the hospital were hurt at all.
Go be mad about a real problem
Counterpoint - antinatalism is what you get when the world is objectively a much worse place during someone's prime reproductive years than it was during their childhood.
That offers an explanation as to why someone might choose to not have kids, not why someone should believe that nobody should and start using toxic pejoratives for people who do.
When there are more humans and everything is getting worse some people will suggest that more humans makes things worse and advocate for less humans to make things better.
The pejoratives thing is just how identities work - making fun of or insulting people who don't share your identity is just a near universal feature of having an identity.
The idea that your identity can/should/must include inventing cruel language to enforce the idea that people who are unlike you are disgusting and lesser is a pretty significant part of the reason things aren't good and are getting worse. The idea it's acceptable or tolerable isn't great.
It may surprise you how many people don't invent language to diminish others, and are diligently working to avoid language that already exists.
I'm not saying it's good or even super common, just observable. People make up names for people who think differently than them. Once a group hits a certain size, it's just pretty likely that they'll have those sorts of terms, even if only a small percentage actually use them.
