The anti-natalists have a point.

But how will the wealthy grift if there is not a steady supply of morons to take advantage of?

Counter point: you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them".

Anti-natalism is just disguised facsist eugenics, in the same vein as eco-facsism.

And this is why I’m sterile.

I don’t want to be here, and I sure as shit don’t want to do that to someone else.. plus I don’t want to take care of some miniature asshole version of myself; I’m bad enough to deal with.

I can barely tolerate guests. No way can I do that to myself let alone make someone stay with me who has no say in the matter.

I remember for quite a while, the only thing keeping me going was spite. The worst people in the country wanted me dead (or at least starving in the street), so I had to keep hanging on or they'd win

Channel your anger out towards the right people that deserve it, can be a relief. Hating yourself can be destructive. You are not the problem, most of the time is just shitty society running blind.

and don't forget to add taxes to that list

I'd pay even more taxes without a single complaint if they got big businesses and the uber rich to actually pay their taxes correctly and fully
