‘Anti-natalist’ suing parents for having him without his consent

    NEW DELHI, India — New vocab word for the day: anti-natalism. If you need a quick primer on what it means, just ask Raphael Samuel, a 27-year-old from India who’s suing his parents based on just that philosophy.

    To wit: He doesn’t think they had the right to force him to be born without his consent.

    The BBC notes that Samuel gets the seeming logic behind the concept — after all, how can you ask someone who hasn’t been born yet if they agree to be born?But his point is that since “it was not our decision to be born,” our parents should have to pony up the funds to take care of us for life.

    Per the he created devoted to anti-natalism, Samuel says people bringing kids into a miserable world is akin to “kidnapping and slavery,” and an act that strains the Earth’s resources, per News18.

    This isn’t a new thing that’s been bugging Samuel, either: He says he first felt the anti-natalism pull when he was 5 and he didn’t want to go to school one day. He and his parents fought back and forth, until finally he blurted out, “Why did you have me?” The fact that his father had no answer got him to thinking.

    The Times of India cites a now-viral YouTube videoin which he expands on his thoughts, and why he’s suing his mom and dad. Samuel tells the BBC that his parents, both attorneys, are pretty good-natured about his whole philosophy, though when he told them about his plans to sue them, his mom replied, “That’s fine, but don’t expect me to go easy on you. I will destroy you in court.”

    He also concedes he’s not even unhappy with his life—it’s just that he wishes he’d had the choice whether to have one.

    I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. Our world has gone to a dark place if this is a legit thing. Why can't people see how beautiful the world truly is? Save your money and go out and travel. You'll find beauty in people and places everywhere. So much so it will drive to tears (in a good way).

    And, dad can't be that great a lawyer if he can't satisfy the kid's question, "why did you have me?"

    A little of this and a little of that.
    I’m really not shocked at all that some bone-head would come up with such silliness in the youth of this generation. I can’t even imagine.

    I’m glad I was born, WTF is wrong with people!

    With the logic of the above article, can I divorce myself from being a millennial? I would much rather be considered gen-x . . . just saying

    They need to send him one-way to somewhere like North Korea or Iran with empty pockets. Maybe let him think he has credit cards, then cancel them once he has left.

    Whenever I hear someone use the word “millennial”, I automatically disregard their opinion. Dumbest shit I see today. Label a whole generation because social media cherry picks the worst of them to show you. Guess they’ll never live up to the “Greatest Generation”.

    We all miss the good old days. Well those of us who are white, straight, Christian males. Wasn’t so great if you weren’t.

    I’ll get off the soapbox. Just annoys me that any time a young persons does something dumb, people react with the tired old “look at how kids are today”.

    Also, this story is hilarious.
