In my latest VIP article, I showed you the video of a radical leftist man giving you his reasons for getting a vasectomy and not wanting to have children. It was, at least to me, a picture-perfect representation of leftism taken to its ultimate end.
The only solution for the issues leftism puts forward is death, but Western leftism's "death" only applies to Westerners, specifically white Westerners. The excuses the man gives for the idea of just vacating any responsibility for continuing the culture that has advanced the world in ways never thought possible have all been debunked repeatedly, but he does say something at the end that caught my ear.

He quotes John Milton's Paradise Lost, where Adam asks God:
Did I request thee, Maker, from my Clay
To mould me Man, did I sollicite thee
From darkness to promote me
The man ends by stating that no one has come up with an answer to the child's statement upon being angry with his parents: "I didn't ask to be born."
A central plank of leftist politics today is emasculation, and not just in the proximate sense of feminism etc.—I mean literal emasculation, including advocacy for male sterilisation. In future decades this will be a major political dividing line. pic.twitter.com/cHgrRACUFw

The man says the phrase as if he, himself, is saying it to his parents. There's a sort of venom to it that made it feel pretty personal, which would explain this man's emotional situation. Likely wildly depressed, hopeless, and dressing all this darkness up in self-righteousness. I think it's funny even uses the term "righteous" when he gives that quote.
What caught me about it, though, is that I keep seeing this pop up repeatedly with anti-natalists lately. The idea that we're violating people by literally bringing them into the world without their consent is catching on like wildfire.
From what I can tell, this sentiment is finding very serious traction on TikTok. It revolves around many people complaining that they didn't ask their parents to give birth to them, only for them to turn around and demand that they work toward supporting a system that they didn't ask to be a part of in a world that's cruel and unfair.
Exhibit A:

It seems like a silly thought, but it's one that's catching on around social media sites, including Instagram.
The sentiment has been around for some time. Back in 2019, an Indian man tried to sue his parents and, according to the BBC, used this exact excuse to pardon himself from working or contributing to society. He is a proud anti-natalist and, according to him, has been since he was young:
"I was a normal kid. One day I was very frustrated and I didn't want to go to school but my parents kept asking me to go. So I asked them: 'Why did you have me?' And my dad had no answer. I think if he'd been able to answer, maybe I wouldn't have thought this way."
As the idea grew and took shape in his mind, he decided to tell his parents about it. He says his mum reacted "very well" and dad too "is warming up" to the idea.
If you listen to the man's reasoning, he sounds exactly like the man in the video above:
Mr Samuel's belief is rooted in what's called anti-natalism - a philosophy that argues that life is so full of misery that people should stop procreating immediately.
This, he says, would gradually phase out humanity from the Earth and that would also be so much better for the planet.
"There's no point to humanity. So many people are suffering. If humanity is extinct, Earth and animals would be happier. They'll certainly be better off. Also no human will then suffer. Human existence is totally pointless."
Despite the idea having been around for some time, I think it's only now beginning to get real traction, and my theory is that it's growing up alongside the "anti-work" philosophy.
In other words, it's an excuse for sloth.
That said, I do see this becoming one of the core reasons behind antinatalism. The idea that "consent" not being given by someone to bring them into a hopeless world is cruel and unusual, and therefore the moral thing to do is to stop having children, will become the prime moral argument behind not just antinatalism, but abortion as well.
I give it about one or two years before you start truly seeing this flood of leftist circles in the mainstream, with major news outlets beginning to spread the idea well before that.
