It is time to bring Antinatalism to Nigeria. It is going to be possible but it's also going to be slow, but regardless, we'll definitely succeed and put and end to the humance race for good.

All Antinatalists are welcome to share their favourite quotes and memes here.

Here's some quotes. ...
.
If children were brought into the world by an act of pure pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist? Would not a man rather have so much sympathy with the coming generation as to spare it the burden of existence, or at any rate not take it upon himself to impose that burden upon it in cold blood?
(Arthur Schopenhauer, Studies in Pessimism: The Essays)

"It is wrong to bear children out of need. Wrong to use a
child to alleviate loneliness, wrong to provide purpose in life by reproducing another copy of oneself. It is wrong also to seek immortality by spewing one's germ into the future as though sperm contains your consciousness!"
Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept
"

" Although there are many answers to the question of how people should live, few thinkers have wondered about whether it is really moral to create people. Antinatalism undermines what seems obvious: that people should be begotten and born."
Karim Akerma, Was ist antinatalismus?

Al-Maʿarri is said to have wanted this verse inscribed over his grave.
". My father has perpetrated this crime against me; I am guilty of none."
Abul ʿAla Al-Maʿarri, Arab Socialism.


"Whenever I reflect, my reflecting upon what I suffer only rouses me to blame him that begot me. And I gave peace to my children, for they are in the bliss of nonexistence which surpasses all the pleasures of this world. Had they come to life, they would have endured a misery casting them to destruction in trackless wildernesses."
Abul ʿAla Al-Maʿarri, Studies in Islamic Poetry

"All human actions are nothing more than attempts to heal the mistake of their existence."
Abdullah al-Qasemi,.

"Even at the risk of being thought mad, we must not be afraid to say that our parents, like theirs before them, were guilty of the crime of procreation, which means the crime of creating unhappiness, of conspiring with others to increase the unhappiness of an increasingly unhappy world."
Thomas Bernhard, Gathering Evidence: A Memoir,
Procreation is something impossible for me. I would never forgive myself for putting someone on death row.
Elisa Brune, La mort dans l'âme: tango avec Cioran, 2011

" If you're afraid of illnesses, if you are afraid of death, then you should contemplate where they com from? Where do they come from? They arise from birth. So don't be sad when someone dies, it's just nature, and his suffering in this life is over. If you want to be sad, be sad when people are born: Oh. No, they've come again. They're going to suffer and die again!"

---Ajahn Chah, No Ajahn Chah: Reflections...

.Our birth and death are just one thing. You can't have one without the other. It's a little funny to see how at a death people are so tearful and sad, and at a birth how happy and delighted. It's delusion. I think if you really want to cry. Then it would be better to do so when someone born. Cry at the root, for if there were no birth, there would be no death. Can you understand this?

"Cioran is right. A truly honest and responsible man would prefer not to be born."
Valeriu Butulescu, Noroi aurifer
......
.Given the contingency of our birth, all pain is useless. The useless pain is unbearable. Ergo, birth itself is unbearable. In this sense, being born is immoral. To be born carries a moral weight, a problematization: it is not, as affirmative ethics usually think, a pure fact, innocent and not requiring a critical opinion. Affirmative ethics are willing to sustain the immorality of the world solely and exclusively to save the morality of its origin. Negative ethics suggests the opposite, the rescue of the morality of the world after the discovery of the immorality of its origin (and the very problem of theodicies inverts: how is the innocence of the world and divine wickedness compatible?).
Julio Cabrera, Projeto de Ética Negativa

If a child, for whose existence I was responsible, were to ask me why he or she were here, what happens after death, whether I could guarantee he or she would not suffer a fate like that Furuta Junko suffered in 1988/89 (please look it up, as there’s no room to describe it), what would I say? To me, the fact I have no answers that would not be guesswork, evasion or dogma indicates that having children is selfish and cruel.

Murder is the curtailing of a life that would have ended anyway; having a child creates a death that would never have been...
Quentin S. Crisp, Antinatalism: A Thought Experiment

No, I would not like it if there was no end, it is literally something we can influence: a peaceful end to humanity. Let no one – this is the first thing I wish – become a parent anymore. It does not hurt the unborn, and saves them a lot of trouble.
Karlheinz Deschner

End procreation now.
