Children may have more net co2 output but they perpetuate the human race so you might say it's worth it. Cats are just waiting for us to stop moving for long enough so we can be their next meal!
- LaserHodl 6y agoNot at this scale. Personally I hope that lockdowns continue because that is what is best for the environment. If the next generation has to be sacrificed to save the planet, then that's a cost we should be willing to impress upon them. Probably not very popular, but I think mandatory birth control AS WELL as impossible meats are in our near future (or should be).

- LaserHodl 6y agoDepopulation can happen the kind way or the terrible way. We need to choose. Mandatory birth control with racial justice quotas will allow the species to continue in the most equitable way, even correcting for systemic racism. All without sacrificing nature.
- vimy 6y agoWow. Just wow. It’s really scary when people think like this. It sounds like a fascist dystopia I want no part of. Do you realize you’re advocating genocide in the name of social justice?
- LaserHodl 6y agoNo: genocide is what white people did to native Americans. I'm talking about the opposite: preventing catastrophic global warming and creating a better world by performing natural selection intentionally and gradually. In all reality, I'm not even advocating it. I'm merely observing that we are heading towards needing mandatory birth control, and once that happens there will be a societal conversation about who gets to procreate. If we make it a based on capitalism then only those who prop up white supremacy gets to procreate. That is not equitable: the conversation will move towards racial justice and the social collective will override capitalism.
- filoleg 6y ago>performing natural selection intentionally and gradually Because natural selection operates on the basis of racial quotas that were intentionally set by other humans? Nothing about this sounds natural to me. Neither does it sound right either, for that matter.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoA racial justice quota? I hope I'm misunderstanding or falling for bait, but that's literally systemic racism?
- LaserHodl 6y agoIt's not bait. It would only be systematic if the Gov forced it on people. On the other hand, if the social collective moved to dismantle systemic racism by voluntarily choosing to create systems that, over time, rebalance racial populations - that would not be systemic racism. Rebalancing out white bodies is the opposite of systemic racism.

- read_if_gay_ 6y agoCounter-racism is still racism. And racial populations not being exactly equally large does not imply racism either.
- mcbuilder 6y agoWho makes these racial justice quotas? You realize Africa is growing faster than developing countries I hope, so the unfortunate consequence would be limiting black and brown people from reproducing. Same with the developing countries polluting more, the first world already went through that dirty industrializing stage but the developing world hasn't yet. Seems pretty dystopian to me. If you're concerned about racial justice as represented by population, there seems to be a natural effect that more educated, read whiter, populations reproduce less. I'm pretty sure if we sent every black person to Harvard and systematically limited white education, you'd get a lot more white babies and less black ones.
