Motherfuckers created a rule about how pointing out that overpopulation myths are ecofascistic lobbying is actually "bad faith" somehow so now every post, no matter what it is about, full of "this is why billions must die" bullshit.

There's 500k subscribers btw.

    It's scary how many people say shit like "there are just too many people."

    Like mother fucker the number ain't the problem, over production of shitty food and plastic, and inefficient city planning are.

      Also it'd be far more utilitarian to wipe out the west if we're discussing Malthusian bullshit

        This is always my stance: yes, you're right, there are too many americans. We must adopt the 0 child policy.

        The wealthiest 70% regardless of location would buy the survivors some time to find solutions to their soon if not already extant climatological problems. I am in that cull and wish the survivors the best of luck.

      Generally found asking people if they're one of the surplus ones when they say this gets them to shut up.

      Not that it changes their mind but they generally have enough self awareness to j9t stay "no I mean a bu ch of other people should die" or if they do say they're a mask off fascist and you know talking to them is a waste of time

        Are they saying a bunch of people should die, or that a bunch of people should stop having kids?

          They want to kill people that's why it's called eco fash.

          If they claim they just want everybody to stop having kids I'd love to hear their thoughts on 1) how to accomplish that and 2) how to have a functional society without young people.

              The one child policy is not something any body should be looking to impose.

              A functional society with a disproportionate amount of males because families would just abort babies until they got a son.

              There is more than enough room and resources for everybody we just need to kill billionaires, not punish poor people for having children.

      I saw a video where someone calculated Tylor swifts carbon footprint from just her private jet going across the US for a tour or whatever and it ended up being like over 160 tons of carbon. That’s just the traveling which means hers is even more. The Average AMERICAN is like 16 tons and the average non American is like 4-8 tons.

        Millionaires and billionaires alone account for over half the carbon budget we have (had) to stay under 1.5 C.
