I have used objective reasoning to conclude that degrowth is murder. Now I'm passionately opposing it. Same with Nazism, Communism, Decolonization, Hamas, etc.

  How do you define murder ?
  • tomp 3y ago
    children dying because you don't produce enough food to feed them. people dying because your economy cannot support high technology required to make advanced drugs. old people freezing to death because you don't produce enough energy to heat their homes this isn't a hypothetical. Look at any communist regime!

      Yeah, right, but gppp’s degrowth means “not producing more humans than needed followed by food reduction”, not “starving the excess to death”. You’re seeing what isn’t there (and are all over the place in general, which makes it hard to reason).

      Again, these emotive arguments: Children dying, sick people dying, old people dying. None of that is actually murder. I don't think it's great, but it's not murder. However, I do wonder on your position on abortion? And preventative and responsible birth control? Would you count any of that as murder? (There are plenty of fascist dictatorships and corrupt regiemes you could go for, but you pick "communism"?)

  Pretty sure it's a logical fallacy to group the current argument with widely agreed and totally unrelated bads.
