Because it’s not good for productive economies that can produce solutions to current problems to stagnate and die. Japan should make moves to encourage a sustainable population growth rate.

Overpopulation is a problem mostly in struggling economies.

Lol, what do you disagree about? Is a 1.5°C rise apocalyptic?

Communism = authoritarianism.

I notice you didn’t answer my question either.

Lol why is this downvoted? Are commies really that fragile?

Spoiler: yes, they are 🤣

Why do you think communism would allow you to thrive?

Seriously, take a look at the history of communist countries and tell me which one you think you would have looked to exist in as a trans person 🤣

I think a mix of religion and being brought up with old-school morality. I’m a conservative who has no problems with homosexuals, in fact HIV/AIDS is one of the causes I really get behind because the history of it fascinates me (currently reading And The Band Played On, it’s great).

Whenever I see homophobia or erroneous beliefs about them I try and correct them when I can.

Are these Tory terrorists in the room with us now?

I would say just generalizing capitalism as ‘bad’ is also not in good faith. It is not without issues, and letting it be completely unrestrained would probably be disastrous. But no other economic system has lifted more people out of abject poverty or driven technological innovation as hard. There are benefits.

Bruh, I don’t believe in late stage capitalism either but we are definitely living in capitalist economies in most of the world.

Capitalism isn’t just laissez-faire, completely free market type stuff. It’s a spectrum.

Not emitting is not that easy. We are in a transition period at the moment. Electric vehicles are here but we don’t have all the infrastructure needed to support them. Let alone the fact that battery tech is not developing as fast as we need it to.

Right now liquid fuels still have the advantage of greater energy density. If we could move to hydrogen fuels that would be cool, and we could repurpose existing petroleum facilities.

But who knows which way the tech is going to go. The only sure thing is that we are in for a wild ride one way or the other.

I think the average and below average users aren’t going to figure that out lol

I see this dumb shit made it over from reddit.
