Being childless still carries stigma — even though more people
are choosing not to become parents
--- Quote ---
>
>
> For centuries, the idealized path through life for many people
— especially women — has been one that includes a lovely home, a
loving partner and a couple of adorable children to raise.
>
> But increasingly, Canadians are choosing not to have children.
The country's birth rate hit a record low in 2020.
>
> There are many reasons people choose not to procreate: income,
health, relationship status and simple preference. But one thing
they all have in common is the stigma they face for that choice.
>
> Lori Coombs was very set on not having children when she
entered her first marriage. But she says she began to realize
her value in the family she joined centred firmly on her
reproductive abilities.
>
> "Strangers that you chat with at a wedding will kind of put
guilt on you that you're not doing your part in providing the
world with a good human being to raise. You hear things like
'what if your child would grow up to cure cancer?' Well, maybe,
but what if he grows up to be a serial killer?" says Coombs.
>
> Lorilee Keller, a registered clinical counsellor in Vancouver,
says society needs to shift focus away from the expectation that
all people can or will be parents.
>
> "I think a lot of people are looking for friends and family to
be just supportive and maybe not assume that everyone is going
to go down the path of having kids or that everyone has a choice
in that," Keller said.
>
> As younger generations face climate catastrophes, unreachable
housing markets and political unrest, many more people will
likely make the choice to not bring children into the world. We
need to not just accept this but embrace it, and see the value
in these members of our own "village."
>
> Whether by choice or by not, the childless people in our lives
play equally important roles and deserve to be free of any
judgment.

natalist society is nearly impossible to navigate. There just
isn’t room for us.

> Natalism is, essentially, the promotion of childbearing. It’s
when having children is the norm. Don’t have kids? You’re not
normal. Welcome to life in the U.S. and most other countries...

True to bloodline (from your Guerra link):
--- Quote ---
> Nepotism
>
> His father President Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were
accused of nepotism for allegedly placing family members in
positions throughout the Venezuelan government.[10][11][12][13]
His appointments as Head of the Corps of Special Inspectors of
the Presidency and Coordinator of the National Film School were
criticized as examples of his family's acts of alleged
nepotism.[10]
>
> On 25 January 2017, President Maduro again named his son as
the director of a newly established position, the Director
General of Presidential Delegations and Instructions of the Vice
President, raising more allegations of nepotism.[14]
>
> Jose Zalt wedding incident
>
> At the wedding of Jose Zalt, a Syrian-Venezuelan businessman
that owns the clothing brand Wintex, on 14 March 2015, Maduro
Guerra was showered with American dollars at the gathering in
the luxurious Gran Melia Hotel in Caracas.[15][16][17][18] The
incident caused outrage among Venezuelans who believed this to
be hypocritical of President Maduro, especially since many
Venezuelans were experiencing hardships due to the poor state of
the economy and due to the president's public denouncements of
capitalism.[16][19][20][21][22][23] During a PSUV National
Congress, Maduro Guerra responded to the incident, calling it
"gossip".[24]
>
> Photograph incident
>
> During a first communion party in the Creole Club of
Maracaibo, a woman named Rita Morales took photographs of Maduro
Guerra with her cellphone. According to witnesses, Maduro
arrived at the party surrounded by bodyguards and far from the
rest of the guests. The bodyguards tried to take the cellphone
away from Morales and force her to delete the pictures after
realizing that Maduro was photographed. Morales refused and left
the party; days after the incident, she was visited by officers
that, according to witnesses, broke her cellphone. On 8 June
2017, officers of the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN)
detained Morales and her husband when they were about to aboard
a private flight to Aruba in the La Chinita International
Airport. Morales was taken to the SEBIN headquarters in El
Helicoide.[25][26][27][28]

"His son also has his own biological children."
--- Quote ---
> Children
--- End Quote ---
This is a good example of why voluntarily choosing to have no
more than one child (as Maduro Sr chose to) is not good enough.
Sure, if literally everyone whose bloodline needs to be
eliminated behaved like this every subsequent generation all the
way to the end, then in theory it would suffice. But in
practice, all it takes is for someone in a subsequent generation
to resume having multiple offspring and we are immediately back
to the old problem.

Reproduction causes:

- Wage Slavery
- Existentialism
- Suffering

- Stress
And the list goes on… passing down your genes is a death
sentence for someone else for your sadistic gratification.

I somewhat agree with this reply:

Universal reproductive health services would go a long way to
advancing the basic human right to not procreate. It's only
underfunded by a few hundred billion dollars. That's being given
to war profiteers instead.
[/Quote]
At least this is better than the "reproductive rights"
framework. But not procreating is not a "right" but a duty. But
this person would probably not agree as they view it a "right"
to have unprotected sex.

Being born today is the worst thing possible. I slowly saw the
world become worse from the mid 2000s. From the economic
crisis/Iraq war, to oil spills, to the population
crisis/environmental pollution in India, to Islamophobia in the
late 2000s, to the rise of WN in the 2010s, to the rise of Trump
in 2016 and continuing rise of identitarianism in the late
2010s, to the COVID crisis in early 2020, and now to the rise of
hate crimes against "Asians".
Also, just realizing how corrupt people really are. No one seems
to care about any of these issues (including "non Whites");
their main objective seems to be acquiring material benefits for
themselves and propagating their lineage. When the push comes to
shove, they won't hesitate to step on you to do so. This
behavior will be inherited by their offspring, which in turn
will exhibit the same attitudes toward other children. As the
Joker said "When the chips are down, these 'civilized' people,
they'll act like animals".
The entirety of my life has been pretty miserable, after age 12.
My parents were able to shield me from the horrors of the
outside world until then, thankfully, which was good for my
spiritual development. But now, after seeing the outside world,
I realize > 90 percent are just selfish.

I'm with you 200%. Some subhumans broke into our cancer-ridden
neighbor's house and stole his (and our) stuff. We were the only
ones who had a key, yet they somehow managed to break in.
Imagine stealing from a single mother on disability, an
unemployed autistic adult, and a man who's dying of cancer.
Humanity is a disease.
