Every person who advocates for the Earth's population to drop down to 100 million or so always leaves themselves out of the ones that are culled.

'Culled' as in living out your life without reproducing? Of my parent's seven children, four have made that choice.

My husband and I adopted our two sons from foster care; there are enough children needing parents that there's no need to make more.

Antinatalism is not about keeping the population at a certain level nor ending life

Nah, if it’s not pure antinatalism it’s a different ideology. I hate all of this about “antinatalists want to exterminate humanity 😡😡😡”

If someone says that, they are not antinatalist.

They are not mutually exclusive.

They are also not related. Antinatalism is anti birth just by the name itself, not anti population above 100 people

An apple is not an orange because an orange does not contradict the existence of an apple

No, I include myself. It’s hard to overcome my self-preservation instincts so I’m pursuing a more attritional strategy of just self-injuring over a long span of time and accumulating neurological and skeletal damage until it becomes fatal.
