    Just know that you don’t have to feel this way. Depression is a sickness that convinces you “that’s just the way it is”. It’s a chemical disfunction of the brain. It can be treated most of the time. It’s a hard path, starting with finding the right therapist, but it’s worth a try. Talking as someone who’s life was saved by therapy.

      If you knew and understood what actually goes on in this world, you would be "depressed" regardless of the chemicals in your brain working or not. All the happy pills in the world, and trust me from experience, all the best drugs in the world, would not get rid of genocide, fascism, or a world built upon capitalism, that at its very core is based upon exploitation, subjugation, and oppression of half of the world, and the mass destruction of most of the Earth's species and the planet itself to fuel the greed and sole benefit of the worlds greatest sociopaths, wherein you happen to be one of the few lucky ones who can live in a tiny bubble where you are completely unaware of the extent of mass suffering and death that is occurring in the neighborhoods you don't go to and the countries that are too far away for you to care about. If you read through the publicly available documents of what the CIA in the US did in the 20th century alone, you would not think coming to the conclusion that humans as a species are irredeemable could only be the result of a disfunctioning brain. I'm not even an antinatalist, I'm just autistic and study a lot of history.

      The fact that you’re equating antinatalism to depression tells me you really don’t understand what you’re talking about.

          “Blahaj’s number one troll”, huh?

          Troll would imply that I’m not being genuine.

          But I’ll take the crown anyway, I guess

        Oh I know a lot about the world don’t worry. Including the fact that any living being that does not strive to stay alive is having a fundamental disfunction… as I said, people can help, medication can help. I know it personally. Do what you want with that information. I wish you all the good in the world, take care.
