Damn you’re right, it’s almost like we need to also restructure society in such a way that prioritizes human need and equitable access to resources and education on an ongoing basis, instead of the maximization of profits at the expense of literally everyone on Earth. It’s a good thing the world isn’t currently being ravaged by an economic order reliant on murder, starvation and inefficiency, otherwise this persistent handwringing about logistics and overpopulation would seem really strange and premature.

Like dude, no person or faction with the political will to go up against the forces keeping people in poverty is currently in any position to do so. We’re talking about a make-believe scenario, and the fact that even then your mind goes immediately to “overpopulation” is mega sus and indicative of where your priorities are.

Gen X coolguy detected, opinion double discarded lmao

Damn bro thats crazy who do you have to pay this totally real money to, and why, and what happens if you don’t? You need to grow up and open your eyes, you’re like a medeival peasant telling me that the King’s authority is a natural and divinely ordained part of nature. It’s sad.

Just asking questions about if poor people should have enough food to live or if that would make them breed too much, no fucked-up Malthusian undertones here, nossir

Hm no you’re right, better to let millions starve

Money is imaginary

When was the last time you voted on whether to invade another country, or double the price of food, or to turn something as simple and basic as health care into a luxury commodity until people can’t afford to have teeth? I don’t remember voting to let covid rip, or give tanks and murder robots to the cops, or to ignore climate change for decades. I was never consulted on if we should have the world’s largest system of prison slavery.

All of these decisions were made for us, at our expense, because they made the donor class more money, and we live in a dictatorship of the rich.

We already live in a dictatorship and we already have a war

The DNC is literally just a corporation and there is absolutely no future for left politics within it’s hostile structure. As the rate of profit continues to fall, they will continue to follow the republicans in implementing fascist policies because those are the short-term profitable policies their corporate owners demand.

The success of mild democratic socialism in some western countries was a historical anomaly that owed it’s existence to two conditions that no longer exist: the presence of a colonial economic bounty, and the need to complete with the Soviet Union.

I’m realizing this comes off terse and hostile, sorry, im just typing in a hurry because my battery is dying lol

Because companies make money off it, which means they have incentives to push people into suicide instead of looking for ways to make their lives better

I love living in the freedom country, not like those other, nonfreedom countries where shady unnacountable secret police organizations spy on you all the time.

Heavily armed cops plowing through red lights and crosswalks in their cars, at that.

What do you mean, I’m sure the industry whose standard practices include having the self-driving function turn itself off nanoseconds before a crash to avoid liability is totally motivated to spend the time and money it would take to fix the problem. After all, we live in a time of such advanced AI that all the news sites and magazines tell me we’re on the verge of the Singularity, and they’ve never misled me before.
