Complete wipe? Certainly not. Reverting our society in standards of living and numbers? Heavily and quickly. People as a species may survive, but will pale in comparison to what we as a society are and can do now. Unless we get cheap fusion power distributed all over the world in the next 20 years, we are gone.

Communism isn’t cringe, wtf are you talking about. And yes, if we want to discuss communism, we need to take into account that it was suggested to start with socialism beforehand.
Social democracy has jack all to do with socialism, if we want to keep being pedantic. And social democracy does not fare all that well in poorer countries, even after massive EU funds. Which is the real cringe.

Maybe I understood the situation too bleakly, but my impression was, that we are losing topsoil (used to grow almost all our food), biodiversity is plummeting (which can trigger chain reaction of massive die-offs), the ice is melting (blue ocean event, likely irreversible) causing billions of people to lose their homes, and depleting aquifies (drinking water). Hotter climate will cause runaway effects, that will multiply all of this, which could lead to decimating most of life in the oceans (food for majority of people), meaning more hungry people inland, politically already unstable, now without soil, water, and getting severe droughts and much more acidic rain. There are possibilities of new diseases appearing from the thawing permafrost, as well as newly mutated ones.
Everything will be made worse by the current trends in politics, but I suspect those politics are trending because some people are aware where are we heading.

Right now I don’t see how our current society can survive. We are doing nothing at all to stop burning fossil fuels (renewables go up, but so does fossil burning), the richest find more and more absurd ways to waste energy (bitcoin, LLMs), everywhere more and more people go poor even in developed nations (prices skyrocketing, mainly food and rent), and we are just starting to see that climate is starting to change, and not to our optimistic scenarios.
I don’t think we are going to make it.

But everyone knows that. Nobody even remotely suggested anything close to it.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 2 months ago:
Given the state of our climate, I would say it’s very closely ahead of us, and we are not going to make it. Which is a shame, we are so close.

It’s definitely not happening now under any social democracy.
Socialism is supposed to be a transformative period, leading to communism. I have no idea why people write the !=.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 2 months ago:
It’s like saying we are too stupid to survive.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 2 months ago:
Are they though? I just feel like we aren’t solving the issues we ought to.
First, nobody gets hungry ever again.
Then, everybody gets roof over their head.
After that, we can start discussing the next steps.
And yes, we need to do this globally, with nobody left behind.

Though to be honest, tankies spouting #1 and #2 get heavily downvoted. I don’t even see them anymore, guess my instance defederated them, but they were never strong positions here.
Perhaps it’s the defederation, but my experience here does not resemble yours.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 2 months ago:
First two sound like tankies, but communism definitely could work :P

Because that’s what you seek, and I want to understand you and help you if I can, perhaps even provide a nuanced opinion on such view.

Can you expand more on those idiotic positions?

What ‘right of centre’ views do you seek?

I wrote more comments here to express my confusion with OP and their goal.
The more I read the more I think the problem is from their inability to explain themselves, or perhaps lack of any cohesive want in the first place. Philosophy is fine, controversy is fine, nuance is great, but I get none of the above from OP. It is possible they are young and searching themselves, yet to understand how the world and online discussions work.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 2 months ago:
Then what in the hell do you want?
I thought you want diverse opinions and nuanced debate, but when you want to just engage in opposing comments and not prefacing statements with ‘I understand X, but wanna discuss Y here’, the result is just trolling, detrimental to your proposed goals.
I have yet to understand what exactly do you want, or what is missing here.

Also, I’ve spent time on Reddit, it was only bad faith arguments in controversial. Like bots pushing propaganda bad.

Then express yourself to let them know what you stand for, and what do you expect from them.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 2 months ago:
But why? This has everything to do with philosophy, and nothing to do with most posts on Lemmy.

Wasn’t the immunity against covid relatively short-lived? I remember something about even getting covid not building long-term resistance, so that would mean that even the vaccine did reverse its effect at some point.
What I absolutely despise, and my own friend brought up in an online conversation, was the abortion embryos.
He claimed abortion clinics everywhere were a conspiracy to harvest matter for the vaccines, all government controlled.
After nagging him a lot, he provided a link from which he wanted to prove his claim.
Surprise surprise, the journalistic piece only said there were cells used to develop the vaccine, mostly for testing, from a single embryo from like 1970s.
We are both from Europe btw.
