There's no way this could end badly
we're about to solve global warming
And overpopulation
overpopulation is an ecofascist myth, dont bring that shit in here
Fair enough. Let me rephrase it. Solving animal and plant extinction issues due to encroachment of areas they live in by ever expanding human activities and resource extraction.
Myes, I'm sure global nuclear war will help the biosphere. For sure.
this is better known as the degrowth movement, comrade. or half earth socialism, even.
Now I'm not sure about making those 1 thing or relating them at all.
Max Ajl is famously at least hopeful about Degrowth but rails against half-earth socialism.
Degrowth has nothing to do with population, it claims that overconsumption for the purpose of profit (like single-use, non-repairable, non-renewable) all correlate much more strongly to destruction that population. Degrowthers often see humans living harmoniously with nature as the goal, and often in integrated ways.
Half earth socialism sees earth being split into 2 portions and "not touching" some and allowing others to have human activity. It misunderstands the issue at base and assigns a solution which will almost definitely require genocide of those who already live harmoniously with the environment in places that humans are forced out of.
Oh nevermind, you are just an ecofash. Should have checked your username first, it's fascist infiltrator coded as shit.
Also my username? Comrade
Let Me Seize The Means
It's not ecofacist it's Communist. Anyway let's focus on the solidarity.
That's the kind of username that you would make if you were trying way too hard to fit in. You're not fooling anyone.
What. Wrong enemy comrade. I don't believe in overpopulation at all and I was saying it tongue in cheek, kinda assumed you'd get the joke but anyway let's focus on the real shit ok?
If there was any doubt you weren't an infiltrator you just dashed it with that one.
I have never seen a joke bomb so hard in my life. Pro tip: if you have to say "BTW i'm not an ecofash" it's time to rewrite or just not comment.
