No, we are not over capacity for survival. We waste a ton of water on stuff we don’t need, like having lawns in the desert or choosing to grow almonds during droughts when people have to ration water usage at home. . Top soil is the same, we could, collectively, switch from beef and to a lesser extent pork to focus on much more efficient chicken, thus freeing a lot of land used to feed livestock.
Stop this Malthusian nonsense, we have enough resources for everyone. They are just severely mismanaged to the point of killing us all. We could live sustainably if we wanted to, we just choose not to.
So you agree that as things are, there aren’t enough resources for the current population, let alone billions more people.
This complete overhaul of the structure of society that keeps being mentioned here is an impossible pipe dream fantasy that is flat out just not ever going to ever happen as it fundamentally goes against human nature.
Human beings aren’t capable of altruism. What about the world around you ever gave you the idea that we were?
Most people won’t even go vegetarian (let alone vegan!), and yet you expect the rich and powerful to just roll over and give up all their money and power for this imaginary ‘greater good’ scenario that will save the world?
Stop believing in stupid fairytales, they won’t save you from the world that is falling apart right in front of you.
Lmao, good luck with your revolution. I’m sure you won’t need it though, not if you just believe hard enough in the power of goodness and altruism. Lol.
One last point I’d like you to consider though, if we’re ignoring resource depletion and just how unsuitable humans are for perfect communism, as you so far have been; how do you plan on defying physics and turning the clock back on the catastrophic climate collapse we’re now in the end game for?
You telling people to keep having kids, and that the world can sustain billions more people than it currently does, is literally only making things worse for everyone. Or do you not understand that each new person born, adds massively to our carbon footprint?
So it’s now up to you. Are you an accelerationist who wants to make shit worse for everyone in the limited time we have left? Or are you just really, really, REALLY fucking stupid?

Fuck off with your capitalist realism. The same arguments could have been made with feudalism before it.
Maybe you lack the historical knowledge and imagination to imagine a better world but your personal failures aren’t reflective of “human nature.”

These are the words of world-famous mainstream scientist David Suzuki, and IPCC expert reviewer Peter Carter, telling us it is already too late. We are out of time.

bro thinks I give a fuck about his opinion and wrote an essay
Stupid it is.
when you grow up you’ll realize that it’s even more stupid to engage with people like you
Have the future you deserve.
I tried to warn you.
