For pride. If in this cruel world one dude lives for one more second than the other then the former does better.

The last one to die is the winner.


Then that is pointless. Pride doesn't need to come from being the last one to die, pride can come from being the one bringing up the most children, the most partners banged, the most art pieces created, or something else.

It is selfish for you to assume we want to follow your type of pride, i see that as pointless. I want children, to see them grow and develop this world. For me, that's pride.

Saying nobody asked to be born doesn't resolve the same contradiction in your ideology. Nobody asked to not be born. We are, in fact, incapable of asking if we should be born or not.

Everyone's disagreement with you is clear. The beautiful thing about Nature is that there is a natural progression for our differences in view. You will die and your ideology with you, while ours will live on through our progeny. I wish you the best in finding peace in the suffering and joy that is brought to us by living in this world and with God.


I don't mind that I was born. Despite me life being shit and everyone around me dying slowly and horribly, I actually do appreciate that my parents had me because existence is still awesome in all kinds of ways.

Maybe that's just how latinos view the world though. We're thankful everyday we're alive cause our culture values living a good life before you die, and also because so many of our friends are dead

Because I live in the Detroit area and usually death comes in the form of a shooting or fatal drug overdose if you don't get tired of this world and take yourself out first.

You on the other hand are from South korea, where people tend to survive their teen and young adult years and the standard of living is higher..

Isn't that easy. Moving requires money, my job is here and everyone I know still lives here

Also the only affordable housing for poor people is in the ghetto

Fuck people. Can you get enough bucks to just move somewhere else (like, a Peter Pan ticket)?

Edited: OK. A job is more important. Hmmm..can you move into a Chinatown or something? They are fairly affordable and definitely safe.

This feels like, ironically, if hyper-nihilism and hyper-individualism had a baby.

But not, like, from a loving relationship. More like a hate fuck where the condom broke, and they eventually ended up abandoning the kid in a dumpster behind a gas station.

There are poor people in normal societies such as South Korea and they generally don't die before 60. Poverty is not a legit reason to die before 30...even in America...because penniless illegal immigrants from Fujian exist and they don't die before 60..and often become richer over time..so you definitely have solutions.

I think "familism" was a little broad of a starting point. Your position is Antinatilist, but with the addition of a sort economic flavoring to couple with the moral. Personally, I think suffering is married to happiness, they are two parts that together, form a complete whole. They compliment, contrast and ultimately intensify each other. So I view reproduction as the embodiment of happiness and suffering and vice versa.

Neko-koku wrote:Here I define familism as the combination of three irrational ideologies,
Take your finger off the scale.
namely the tendency to have sex (i.e. copulatism),
You freely admit that it’s not irrational in quite literally the next sentence.
reproduce (i.e. reproducism)
Reproduction isn’t irrational, and it certainly isn’t an “ism.”
and give one's resources freely to family (i.e. microcommunism).
This betrays a deep misunderstanding of communism that I don’t know how to begin to rectify.

Copulatism is the least irrational among the three for sex is at least pleasurable. However it is not worth what people think it is worth.
Yeah, you could make this argument about literally anything (not to mention the benefits that a family brings). Try again.
Reproducism is insane because reproduction is usually harmful and sometimes deadly to organisms that reproduce.
We’re not praying mantises. The fact that some species die upon reproducing is as irrelevant to us as that snakes shed their skin.

Well first of all, as Attempted Socialism put in on the first page, your initial premise is logically fallacious.

Besides that, your first two definitions are entirely subjective, and your third is a definitionally incorrect of communism to a typical family dynamic.
