Just because a lot of people are too delicate for the conversation, we are experiencing a human apocalypse. It's really the end for us, but the oil execs have to pay down the yacht bill and we can't have people angry at the diner counter in Peoria over gas prices.
This happens all the time in the natural world, it would be funny if it wasn't tragic. We developed tools that let us transition from a S to J population type, without time for cultural adaptation to that new reality. People here don't know enough about the topic, and are swayed by "LOL look at Malthus" type gotcha discourse due to the normalcy cognitive bias.
The ideas here about 'democratic support' are absolutely laughable. Who cares what various locusts think or feel when they have swarmed and eaten all the available plant matter? They just starve and die because they overshot their environment's carrying capacity.
Mars is entirely unviable and thinking otherwise is deluding yourself with science fiction.
This will be the defining realization of the next 1-10 years.
