Yeah, I was curious also.
A starting point ...
Antinatalism
en.wikipedia.org
... Antinatalism or anti-natalism is a philosophical view that deems procreation to be unethical or unjustifiable. Antinatalists thus argue that humans should abstain from making children.[1][2][3][4][5] Some antinatalists consider coming into existence to always be a serious harm.
Their views are not necessarily limited only to humans but may encompass all sentient creatures, arguing that coming into existence is a serious harm for sentient beings in general.[6]:2"3,163[7][8][9][10] ...

The 'Trump Effect' on Elections Is Just Beginning, Including in Japan (April 2025)
www.cfr.org
... Donald Trump has only been president of the United States, this time around, for about three months. It has been a dramatic three months since his inauguration"so dramatic that some interesting aspects of the mercurial U.S. leader's impact on the world get less notice. They are often lost among the ways in which he has shocked the global order, global markets, alliances and the U.S. economy itself.
Yet since that inauguration, the president also seems to be creating a "Trump effect" on many, though not all, foreign elections, especially among countries that have been important U.S. allies and partners. In general, the effect has been to boost the popularity of left or center-left parties in national elections. Yet sometimes it is not just leftist parties that win, but rather a leader who stands up to Trump the most or seems to the public like the best-equipped figure to handle the White House.
This is an effect that started recently in Greenland, a Danish-controlled self-governing protectorate. Since his inauguration, Trump has repeatedly and publicly mused about annexing Greenland, sometimes suggesting the U.S. should do so by force.
The impact? In Greenland's March elections, a centrist party that wants gradual independence from Denmark, which many voters seemed to believe puts Greenland in the best position to ward off Trump, won national elections. The party's leader, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has repeatedly and publicly blasted the U.S. president, calling him "a threat to our political independence." ...
