@#34 ... "anti-natalist ideology" (whatever the F that is) ...

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] ...

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." ...
