Numbskull Says He’ll Sue His Parents for Giving Birth to Him

Raphael Samuel in one of the posts on his Facebook page, Nihilanand, where he posts anti-natalist material suggesting that parents are 'hypocrites' 

He’s getting his 15 minutes of fame.

Is this comedy or tragedy? Or both?

Saying that having children is morally equivalent to “kidnapping and slavery,” a schnook in India says he’s going to sue his parents for giving birth to him without his consent (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6664843/Man-wants-sue-parents-giving-birth-without-consent.html). He has not made it clear how they might have gotten that consent.

He also thinks parents are wrong for “forcing it [the child] to have a career.” Well, heck, all sorts of people all over the world don’t have careers. Nobody’s stopping you, lackwit, from just being a bum.

Supposedly this jidrool is a leader in an “anti-natalist”–oh, boy, another new word!–movement whose aim is to convince people not to bear children. He has a web page called Childfree India. “We are a group of people who have decided not to reproduce,” he declares. “We are Childfree Indians!”

Huzzah.

I could understand if it was other people suing this guy’s parents for inflicting him on them. Any number of couples could be sued for giving birth to ninnies. But I think if I were a judge, I would fine him court costs and jail his lawyer for contempt: frivolous lawsuits waste the public’s money.

And now I think I’ve spent enough time today covering nooze. Next stop, cat video.
