Comment on Capitalism is an unrealistic death cult.

It wasn’t until 30 years later that I realized I’d had a childhood existential crisis, and now I had the capacity to read, well, if not existentialist philosophers, at least comic books about existential philosophy.
You seem willing to quickly discredit ideas that make you uncomfortable, which, congratulations, is a very mature and adult take.

No just tired of ecofascists repeating the same tired trope. Maybe educate yourself.

I think the entire human race is cursed, so I don´t know how I could be accused of racism or eugenicism? But I’ll listen to the podcast, though, I suspect they are rejecting a premise based on not liking its conclusion.

Also, I think our conclusions are basically different. Like Paul Ehrlich, Malthus-repackager and Population Bomb author, thinks we should turn the rest of world into a military prison to enforce his population control policies while people in the US are merely offered tax incentives or some shit. I don’t agree with that.
In fact, if I were going to choose which population to control and/or exterminate, I’d pick societies that are highly extractive, like the one I live in, and prefer the ones that make lower demands on the environment, like the ones the people you say I agree with want to genocide.
But I’m not about controlling population or exterminating anyone. I just think the human race, like this conversation, is doomed.

Sigh. I can not believe I am doing this:
