Comment on We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible.

this is one of the issues where I hate constantly seeing supposedly materialist minded leftists overshoot on correcting away from the eco fascists
It’s like, eco fascists think the world can only support 10 million people so they gotta kill everyone who isn’t white
then there’s people on the left who seem to think a physical carrying capacity isn’t real and that the Earth can be a hive world of 100 billion without repercussion
While also wanting more ecologically sustainable and less industrially driven agriculture
There are physical limits on like, how much water is available and how much nitrogen you can actually get into the system and every single human alive is going to have needs that are going to require resources from somewhere to meet and I really shouldn’t have to explain to people something as simple as “population goes up, more resources get consumed, that is a fact”

And before anybody tells me some shit about bourgeois mismanagement of resources, shut the fuck up before i block you, I know. That doesn’t change the inherent reality of there being an actual real finite number of human beings this planet can support period, much less comfortably. Kill all the bourgeoisie and redistribute everything equitably and you’ve raised the capacity for a comfortable life for a huge number of people, but you haven’t changed the fact that if that number increases indefinitely, so too will the requirements to sustain it, and at some point something is going to break unless populations decline on their own (except what’s going to happen is climate change- being effectively a reduction in carrying capacity due to numerous factors- is going to make that happen)
