In Latin, "-cidere" or the verb "caedere" means just as much "to end" or "terminate" as it does "to kill" or "to slaughter"
It is almost always the actual killing in combination with causing serious and deliberate harm, the imposition of conditions of life leading to the destruction of the group and the imposition of measures to prevent people from having children.
And while it is true that there haven't been any genocides that exclusively and entirely consisted of forcibly stopping people from having children, it is definitely a real possibility.
Regardless of what you think of it, it is the culmination of decades of some of the most respected and intelligent international lawyers and high courts in the world working on this. It's an accepted principle of Customary International Law and can be found in both the Genocide Convention (art. 2-3) and the Statute of the ICJ (art. 6).
It's the default position so it can't be labeled a cult. And seeing how you have happiness as well as suffering, that isn't applicable. Unlike you, we don't wallow in misery all day. We aren't afraid of life or of suffering.
WowJust wowThe man studied Latin for 7 years. He's studying to become a lawyer. The worlds greatest minds on this all prove you wrong, and you sit there and call them retards?

You're completely misunderstanding and have a very weak grasp on English and Latin.

Yes
And for the record, I know that anti-natalism doesn't count as genocide.
Fair enough. You are welcome to disagree, it won't change a thing.
Question though. What if a government would round up all members of a certain group (jews, gypsies, blacks...) and put them in prison, keeping them completely isolated from one another, with the specific and vocalized intent of ending this race / ehtnical group. They don't actually kill anyone, but they just keep them locked up and force them into labor and separation. A few decades down the line, the last member of this group will have died, and thereby this race / ethnical group seizes to exist because of what the government did to them. What would you consider this?
It's genocide. Either way, you're for the extinction of humanity. There's nothing good about that no matter how you swing it. Anti natalism is a death cult.
You are welcome to try and challenge this definition
How so?
"Article 2 of the Genocide Convention:In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:(a) Killing members of the group;(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;"[/i]Ethnic cleansing intends the removal of a group, genocide its destruction.
