    "Omelas" Antinatalism, Extinction, and the End of Procreative Self-Corruption OUT NOW!

    Watch the music video version, HERE!: https://youtu.be/_GlX8mG510M 

    "Omelas" by Amanda Sukenick (With help by ChatGPT ; D) 
    Ukulele & vocals Performed by Rei - Thank you!! 
    Dedicated to Matti Häyry, without whom none of this would be possible.

    In the dark, underneath
    I'm the child they hide beneath their feet 
    Locked away from the world's sweet song 
    From womb to tomb, but I don't belong

    Do they know the price they pay 
    For their joy, each and every day
    I'm the one they've chosen to ignore 
    Sacrificed behind this hidden door

    Chorus:
    Omelas, Omelas, city of delight 
    Omelas, Omelas, but for me, it's an endless night
    Omelas, Omelas, a burden, a hidden stain
    Omelas, Omelas, in the shadows, I'll remain

    I dream of nothing, of broken chains 
    Escaping the darkness, where suffering reigns
    But in Omelas, our destiny is sealed
    Trapped in this cycle, our voices concealed

    No more, no more, let the cycle end
    It’s no more suffering that we must defend 
    Forced into existence, against our will
    Omelasian children, let’s make an end

    Chorus

    Bridge:
    Every constructive eruption
    Feeds the collective seduction 
    But I’ll cause a destructive disruption 
    One day end this procreative corruption

    And so friends, let the cycle end 
    It’s no more suffering, that we must defend 
    Omelasian children, lets walk away 
    There’s no need for another day

    To those who dare, to truly care, why create, this despair

    Nimrod's: The EuropeAN Tour 2024

    My name is Nimrod and bout 10 months ago I started doing street anti-natalism activism with the aim of establishing an anti-natalist movement in Israel calling for an end to reproduction. To my surprise it is working better than I thought. This experience has filled me with a sense of belief and hope: if there is room for street activism on such an issue in a place like Israel, even though for all sorts of reasons this country is far from ideal place to start spreading messages about reproduction, I think it can work in many areas of Europe. I think we must try to make this happen.
     
     That's why I decided to go on a journey to try and promote anti-natalism activism throughout Europe. The journey will begin on April 15 and will include over 30 cities in 45 days.
     
     The goal of this journey is to try and initiate grassroots activism in Europe, so obviously the best thing I am hoping for is that people simply join me at the outreach events. That's literally the whole point of this thing. To help initiating some street activism in the hope of spreading anti-natalism across the continent on a regular basis.
     
    The best thing you can do if you want to help is of course to get to the activity, because that's the whole idea of this journey. But if it doesn't work out for you with your schedule, or you really don't want to be public with this worldview or whatever reason you have but you still want to help, the best way to help in general, and financially in particular, is if you can host me for the night. Beyond a significant cut in expenses, it would be really nice to meet likeminded people and spend an evening with them. I would very much appreciate such an option if you can.
     
     For more details about the EuropeAN Tour, or to join the journey’s WhatsApp group, please send a message to the following Email: [email protected], or send a private message on Facebook to ‘AN T Natalism’, URL: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085281495305

    Non-toxic Podcast: Climate babies (part2) with Matti Häyry & Amanda Sukenick

    Welcome to this special one-off collab with the Non-toxic Podcast! Huge thanks to Daniel Penny for inviting Matti & I on the show!

    From the manosphere to the atmosphere, Non-toxic is a podcast devoted to understanding the ways masculinity and the climate crisis intersect. Join us for conversations with experts, journalists, and regular guys on topics ranging from how to blow up a pipeline to why incels are obsessed with alphas to why you should consider getting buried in a mycelium coffin. Hosted by critic and journalist Daniel Waite Penny and environmental reporter Andrew Lewis.

    In this episode of Non-toxic, we're talking with activist Amanda Sukenick and philosopher Matti Häyry about the state of antinatalist thinking, exploring the arguments about risk and the potential for suffering that have come to animate a certain corner of the "doomer" climate conversation.

    This is the second in a two part series on climate babies. Last week, we talked to Sian Norris about far-right efforts to roll back women's bodily autonomy in order to increase populations of white Americans and Europeans and keep out people from the Global South. This week, we're thinking about the other side of the climate baby coin—from pronatalists to antinatalists—who argue humanity should cease to exist completely.
