ok so I just went through a thread and I saw that a guy thought

>antinatalism

What's antinatalism?

I want to know why people pretend it's Lovecraftian. People still say that meme to this day, acting like it wasn't a failed fan theory.

>>80206954
i prefer the ending where rust doesnt live

>>80207027
People who don't want to have kids and employ elaborate mental gymnastics to declare this as virtuous.

>>80206954
Yeah no. He realizes that anything he feels is still just chemicals going off in his brain. But he decides to go with it. It's kinda bittersweet, at least that's my interpretation.

>>80207075
You don't need supernatural horror to be Lovecraftian. What happens in that series still points to how there's stuff beyond the scope and control of ordinary humans, how ultimately we're just specks of dust and sometimes ignorance is better than knowledge.

Oh, so millennial fantasies.

Richard Stallman is one, so it seams to be older than that.
I only ever met one of them, wierd.
Like talking to someone with a really fringe worldview, nothing he said registered as an actual argument from my perspective.
I had a creaping suspicion that he was just to afraid/lazy to be a dad, but he did manage to turn that into a whole worldview/identity.

that's sad, I guess that's the stage you get to when you don't accept it, or can't continue justifying it with saving money, or personal pleasure.

American education

>>80207104
Same. I felt that the joyous, happy ending contradicted everything leading up to it

>millennial education

>>80207768
I am a millenial though, and I'm ashamed that I'm sharing this board with such retards.

>>80207288
Millenial fantasies? You mean owning a home, working someplace you don't hate, or having affordable first world healthcare?

>>80207854
i'm not one to bash millenials, i would not want to trade with them
> working someplace you don't hate
is a fantasy though, for <90% of every generation

>>80207413
i can understand that someone doesn't want to have children but what is the point of creating this ideology around it to rationalize it

>>80208111
invalidate the disapproval of their peers, maybe?

analog to:
> i don't need to lose weight, i choose being obese, i like this and want this and everyone who disagrees is just an asshole

then there are also people who are drawn to self sacrifice by their nature, there are people who enjoy being beaten or humiliated and they will of course be drawn to views that sanctify that
