    My partner is an anti-natalist, I’m a vegan, and its really unfortunate that both those communities have some members with eco-reactionary tendencies, because they don’t have an education in Marxism.

    Its entirely possible for humanity to survive without harming the environment. The solution isn’t mass extermination of humanity, its just changing harmful production techniques. I swear some of these ppl look at their grandmothers and toddlers thinking: “you should die off, but not me.”

      Exactly, the reason our biosphere is collapsing is due to capitalism. It’s a fundamentally unsustainable system based on the insane idea of constant growth at the expense of all else. Either we end capitalism or we’ll go extinct.

        More than “we’ll go extinct” I would say “we are going extinct”

          Things are definitely headed in that direction. We’re in a middle of a biosphere collapse, and we rely on this biosphere to exist. It’s absurd to think that humanity would survive once the rest of complex life on this planet perishes.

    The ‘humans are the virus’ mindset is headed in some very dangerous directions imo

    The wealthiest 16% emit over a third more co2/person than the rest of the human population 1

    Our system is criminally wasteful.

    In a world where we are bombarded with non-consensual, pointless or hostile co2 footprints [even online: trackers, advertising, inane GUI sugar to sell new phones].

    Let me guess how a conversation of “who gets to exist or not” will end?

    Someone gets to keep the latest bs features on their new phone and someone else won’t exist?

    What a time to be alive.
