It’s not straws.
Simply put we’re overpopulated. Too many mouths to feed.
It's not nessecary the hard answer, but rather the unethical answer. Essentially it's not hard to feed and house the world poppulation even if it grows, as Ghandi put it "There is enough for everyone's need, but not everyone's greed".
The right wing economic elite have stimulated a culture of consumption and supressed ecological conciousness for their perceived benifit. There are easy solutions to climate change and hard ones. Dark side of the force and light so to speak. I mean, if you really want the easiest sollution just wipe out 99% of the world poppulation already. Humanity will survive with just 60 million people aswell, and the almost logical consideration to make in that inhumane proposition is afcourse to "keep the best". Or to put it differently, the facists have the easiest sollution to propose. There would be a lot less pollution with just 60 million people and they all would have more space and a better life besides being perceived as better in gene's oh joy.
The more humane aproach to solve a hard problem requires not taking preference for inhumane choices because they are easy, but find humane sollutions when possible even if its hard full stop. I hope i don't need to explain where child control stands in relation to western ideals of liberalism?I'd think it stupid to throw away the "proverbial" child with the bathwater if we can prioritise on other more liberal sollutions first thank you
It grate's me that when a problem is difficult, that a inhumane sollution would became so poppularly repeated, especially if among those who peddle that idea you'd find many that previously had denied all existance of climate change. The elite denied climate change for their greed as long as they could, i detest those among them that would now peddle that proposal upon being forced to acknowledge an issue to which they hold such responsabillety especialy trough denial, becuase it would just boil down to the elite pushing the costs into the throats of the coman people while they don't need to tackle the complicated issue's that requires an effort of them.
It's not because a problem is hard, that we are going to solve it by being simple. The eonomic elite and our "entrepeneurs, captains of industry" needs to start take responsabillety instead of trying to shove it off all the time.
