- whimsicalism 3y agoseriously! this happens all the time to me. i never understand how people can say stuff like this casually without sounding horrific
- insider-trade 3y agoThere’s no need for genocide. Chill with the rhetoric. Just educate people on sexual health and offer contraceptives. It works.
- whimsicalism 3y agoYou are not going to “educate people on sexual health” down to a population of 1 billion in a timescale where these concerns even matter.

- whimsicalism 3y agoWe are having a disagreement over population ethics and the impact of AGW - I could hardly think of a less bro-y discussion if I tried. I absolutely support population control, but all of my replies have been in reference to the specific scenario suggested of lowering population to 1 billion.
- insider-trade 3y agoyou’re very specifically using rhetoric to: - bring up other problems, which is definitely relevant because problems intertwine, but you’re avoiding focusing on any points regarding any single issue at a time. You still have to consider items, even when there’s a collection. - bring vitriolic accusations (“GENOCIDE!”) into a discussion on plastic pollution, farming, and food supply. This is unacceptable.
- insider-trade 3y agoi replied to the person below as well, but again, stop accusing people of genocide. fuck sake also, to address the sentiments in your posts in general, if you’re against government intervention in farming, go ahead and give up farm subsidies, subsidies to oil companies, etc. be consistent at least. lots of fingers on the scale, most of which prop up farmers and plastic producers.
