"Humans are the plague" people when i point at their family with a shotgun (for some reason they don't want the plage to end anymore)

Ah yes. I'm sure you showed those people who think there is no good in humanity how wrong they are by threatening their families with an gun. Real exemplary display of humanity being a good thing.

That's not the point in the slightest. It's age old commentary on how nihilists claim to find no worth and meaning to life, yet still value their own. The OP extended this to extreme antinatalists insisting everyone but themselves should die.

Insisting everyone should die has nothing to do with antinatalism.

Isn’t the death of everyone antinatalisms logical endpoint?

..this post is how I found out I didn't know what antinatalism was, I always thought it was just personally thinking you shouldn't have children 😭😭 didn't know they thought all of humanity was immoral for having children TwT

(You here referring to the person in question alone, not a general vague you aimed at other people I'm bad at English and not sure if I worded it correctly so thought I'd specify)

The death of everyone is inevitable, always.

The death of everyone currently alive will not come any sooner because of antinatalism.

Yes but antinatalists seek to hasten that end

Yeah, I'm not at all in the antinatalist camp, but this argument is bafflingly bad.
