I think generally activists more don’t want billions to die from hunger, war and displacement and for the beauty we find in the world not to be spoiled. ¯\_(ツ)

  > I think generally activists more don’t want billions to die from hunger, war and displacement and for the beauty we find in the world not to be spoiled. If you think that, then you experience the same cognitive dissonance that they do. The best way to despoil the world is to live like cavemen, which requires experiencing the hunger, disease and displacement that they did with far lower population counts from what we currently have. Conservatism is the antithesis of science and progress. Tree-huggers are anti-science and anti-progress.

    It's easy to argue against the stereotype of tree-hugger hippies but plenty of activists want to actually solve the climate problem, which involves lots of high-tech stuff like solar panels, advanced nuclear power, battery storage, electric vehicles, etc. Ironically, it's the "pro-growth conservatives" these days pushing for a return to old technologies.
