    From Wikipedia:

    In many countries, suicide rates are underreported due to social stigma, cultural or legal concerns.[3] Thus, these figures cannot be used to compare real suicide rates, which are unknown in most countries.

    China Asia 6.7

    North Korea Asia 8.2

    South Korea Asia 21.2

    And it didn’t list numbers for Taiwan









    • There is a big difference in killing a child who already exists, as opposed to opting to not create a new child
    • Cars are also harmful for the planet, and are the cause of many deaths, public transport is a far better system
    • Bringing new life into the world, which we know is full of suffering is unethical according to many people
    • We have far too many people in the world already. The more people there are, the less say each individual has in affecting their government and country
    • Women’s role in society is not determined, solely or otherwise, through how many children they have. Neither are men’s or nonbinary people’s
    • Some women are biologically incapable of having children
    • I just skimmed your comment, you wrote far too much for me to read in depth





  • Try talking to them first, asking questions and getting them to evaluate their own beliefs. Many people are indoctrinated and manipulated into a system that they haven’t really considered and would be better of rejecting. In that case, non-combatitive conversation can go a long way to enact actual positive change, rather than just virtue signaling to people who already agree with you.

    If they’re not receptive to that, and still causing harm, it’s necessary to stop them via any means necessary. But still, try to avoid harming them as much as possible. As Milgram’s experiments demonstrated, most people can do horrific things when a trusted authority figure tells them to. Remember, they are still people, and sometimes people are influenced to do bad things.


  • You can’t seriously mean that. There’s good stuff happening all the time, the lockdowns in COVID (even if the MPs were hypocrites, the legislation itself was good), adding LGBT+ awareness to PSHE for all state schools, pledging even more money to the NHS, free school meals, the ULEZ Zone.

    Just because there’s also plenty of bad stuff, and lots of progress to still be made, doesn’t mean they don’t do anything good.
