I would imagine the answer here is something along the lines of: "let a few billion people starve."

- DaoVeles 2y agoThus the rise of Eco-fascism begins! Last year I wrote a piece on Ted Kacsynski's passing. To summarize 6000 words - some decent ideas, absolute mad man who did more harm than good for his cause, I REALLY hope that folks don't emulate his actions. I deeply fear that with peaceful protest being outlawed in places, violent protest become inevitable. This is something that Garrett Hardin was writing about in the 1960-80's. 'Tragedy of the Commons', 'Lifeboat Ethics' and 'Filters against folly' are all works of his worth studying as it shines a spot light on the ugly side of humanity and our impacts. This unfortunately lead to him adopting a lot of anti-immigration stances and some downright racist ideas. It is an a damn shame considering he had a real knack for cutting through the crap and highlighting some of the bigger long terms issues of our behaviors. I really hope we don't go down this path, but everyday it looks like we are slowly taking another step there. May we live in interesting times.
