Comment on Capitalism is an unrealistic death cult.

  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.

    Unfortunately this is the natural conclusion of arguing that “humanity is a virus”

      That may indeed be my function. I encourage you, however, to find some better arguments against Agent Smith, because he makes a lot of sense to a lot of people.

        I’d be hard pressed to think of a better reason not to regurgitate this horseshit than the fact that you’re aiding and empowering ecofascist scum but I’ll give it a good think.

  Sigh. I can not believe I am doing this:
