If any of this shit made sense and worked like it was supposed to we wouldn't be in this position in the first place. Seemingly the world leaders and everyone in the inner circles has completely abandoned any long term hope for their positions in the current system and are preparing for the next system. It really is true that the Earth has too many people and I think the long term planners are letting climate change happen without preparing the masses so fewer, stronger people survive. There is people planning this shit it's not just arbitrarily short-term profits for the sake of it.
The earth does not have too many people though. We are not at risk of overpopulation by any real metric.
Resource scarcity is not a result of too many people needing not enough resources, but a result of those resources not being spread evenly. Whether because of geographical or political reasons, typically a mix of both.
It's not about humanity it is about Earth. We aren't meant to divide her resources to 8 billion people in any distribution. Your magical solution to distribute all resources evenly doesn't really solve human driven climate change and destruction of our environments. And it's not about convincing me ask yourself why would a commercial planet have too many staff members that's bad for business.
We can use resources without causing climate change. Hell human cause climate change is a pretty recent development when it comes to human history, and it's not because there's more people.
And what the fuck are you talking about a "commercial planet" are you stupid.
For real, if we had even resource distribution I'd be building solar or something useful, but I have a mortgage so I guess I'll just keep having this chatbot analyze financial statistics or whatever the fuck I'm doing
Human driven climate change is new, it is not sustainable. And commercial planet as in a commercial country you fucking moron.
You're right. It's not sustainable. It's not the result of overpopulation though.
And yeah I still have no clue what that's supposed to mean.
I don't care about your opinion.
And that's fine I don't care if you don't care to even google what it might mean.
It's not an opinion though. Overpopulation is a fascist myth. If you actually bought into it you'd kill yourself but you haven't yet. Because you know that's stupid.
Also I did and didn't find anything relevant to whatever nonsense you were saying so you're just pulling shit outta your ass or using the wrong words.
Sorry, not into fash dick. Go on and live up to your ideals or be a hypocrite.
There's no hypocrisy there because I don't buy into that nonsense.
The explosion of the global population is also rather recent. Just 100 years ago global population was less than a quarter than it is today. And going back to the middle ages, earth didn't even have half of a billion people. And resources for all those people need to come from somewhere, hard to do this without causing climate change.
Except it's not the result of the population increase, it's the result of industrialization.
We have the resources. We can provide for everyone on earth easily without also destroying it.
Otherwise if you genuinely thought there were too many people, you should logically kill yourself otherwise you're a hypocrite.
I'm not saying you actually should because that's stupid, this whole idea is just ecofascism. But if you're pushing this bullshit then you better follow through.
