Nearly a fifth of all threatened freshwater species are affected by climate change, from impacts such as falling water levels, shifting seasons and seawater moving up rivers. Of the assessed species, 3,086 out of 14,898 were at risk of vanishing.

Is there a „humanist nihilism“ movement? I mean a political and social narrative that the world would be better off without humans? Is there a party you can vote for, that aims to achieve this goal?
Not really. Most people want to stick around.
I recommend working to change how people interact with the world, rather than trying to get rid of people.
That would mean I also have to change. 😵💫 But I am a big part of the problem!
So start planning out how to change. I’d look at:
We’re looking at houses right now and I want a relatively small house in a neighborbood where biking is a possibility. My SO wants one that pretty much only has access to a highway and is huge and spacious.
I recommend spending a bunch of time talking about the community you’re buying into - a lot of what you get in some places isn’t just the house itself, but the fact that you’re able to form relationships with the people who live around you, and that just doesn’t happen as easily in places that are structured so you need to drive everywhere. Also, if you’re planning on kids, it’s a lot easier when they can walk over to a neighbor’s house to play instead of having to drive them until they’re in their mid-teens.
If only my SO could understand this…
Do the two of you have older cousins who have lived in places similar to the ones you’re talking about? Maybe you could have a discussion with them about what their lives are like.
That’s the thing with nihilism though, if you beat the drum about it it ceases to be nihilism because it’s an individual understanding of oneself in context with the world around you. If a party claims to be a nihilist they’re just a power hungry shill, basically.
I believe what you would be wanting is anarcho-ism type movement (:
I’ve wondered the same thing. It’s not quite exactly what you’re talking about, it’s just kind of related, but you may be interested in antinatalism.
