Can you restate your argument?

That's why the only path forward is to mount enough political pressure to make it happen anyway. That's the hard part. That's why I said there's nothing easy or even likely about it. I don't see it happening based on the current trajectories. I've just yet to hear of a better approach, as I said.

Hi. I’m being rational. That makes me correct. Derp derp.

Pretty sure that these are universally recognized as mitigation efforts for our most rapidly destructive habits. Your obsession is irrelevant tbh.

I’m 100% sure people will deny reality if it’s inconvenient. Even, like, everyone. Except me.

The number of people who will argue two plus two equals five doesn’t change the fact of the matter.

"Each of the original messages contains a sliver of wisdom, and whenever they seem to say different or incompatible things it is only because all are alluding, allegorically, to the same primeval truth. As a consequence, there can be no advancement of learning. Truth has been already spelled out once and for all, and we can only keep interpreting its obscure message."

Identifying a problem doesn’t make you a fascist.

Being a fascist doesn’t make you wrong.

Some truths are so direct and obvious that they no longer need to be contemplated.

I'd be down if that was actually your stance. This is just a reaction afaic.

Cause and effect.

A free will bait and switch? **** that. This planet has too many people.

Identifying the root issue isn't a bait and switch.

I don't even disagree that overpopulation is a massive issue, you're just applying it dumbfully.
