We should have a ticker for how many days HN can go without this being posted, its been 2 whole weeks since I've seen it, great going gang.
I want to know who gets to live in the utopia, and who has the misfortune of not being important enough. Surely poor people have got to go, theres just so many of them, in so many countries; they cant afford sustainability goals, calm down, we arent going to kill them, theyll go away on their own as the price of heating your home or eating goes up. The old have spent their best years, and have become a burden on the healthcare and welfare system, its probably most humane to poison them. Anyone with dangerous views will obviously ruin our new democracy, I think we could leverage the judicial system to disenfranchise them, it worked for the blacks.
Was that distressing to read? What do you think degrowth looks like, exactly?
- moritzwarhier 3y agoThis is a very bleak and cynical way of discrediting people who - as opposed to you - try to find a way to actually improve the situation of humans. > Surely poor people have got to go, theres just so many of them, in so many countries; they cant afford sustainability goals, calm down, we arent going to kill them, theyll go away on their own as the price of heating your home or eating goes up. 20% of the world's population is responsible for the consumption of 80% of the planet's resources. The richest 10 percent of U.S. households are responsible for 40 percent of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. Oh and life expcetancy and health of the average American are declining, while the economy is growing. Why is that?
- Geisterde 3y agoAnd where do you think those rich people go? Do you think the average person in america is going to accept the arguement that they are over consuming when you throw roadblocks designed to economically disenfranchise them? Im pretty sure you will find that people dont care what you think, they are going to do what they need to for #1, war, plunder, slavery. Rich people even more, they have wealth, they have power, any policy enacted they are going to have in place carve outs for themselves, because they own the politicians. What do you think you can accomplish by pointing these numbers out? The groups you describe arent going to take anything sitting down, all you are going to get is hightened political animosity, identitarian hatred, and desruction. Is that what improving the situation sounds like to you?
