    Fuck all humans for breeding to the point where meat farming is necessary. Eating animals isn’t the problem, it’s the SCALE at which we do it. Put blame where it’s due

      Factory farming is extremely cost-efficient, so I don’t think the free market would give you anything else regardless of how many people there are. Laws and environment tax would.

      You all motherfuckers know deep in your hearts that humanity can’t survive this shit without a couple billion dying off. It’d be better if those couple billion were never born.

      There’s no sustainable living without sustainable reproduction. But that’s even more taboo than everyone going vegan/vegetarian.

            Ecofascism is a legit problem, people in the US would rather have unsustainable lifestyles than not commit genocide.

            Name 5 scholarly works you’ve read on fascism, or 3 on ecofascism specifically.

            In other words: I have a lot of knowledge about this shit. The overpopulation myth is tied to fascism at the hip. You’ve integrated fascist propaganda into your worldview if you think overpopulation is the issue.

              I’ve never heard about the overpopulation myth is tied to fascism. Got any more information or sources on this? Cheers, bud.

                You can just Google “overpopulation ecofascism” and the first few results in normal and scholar mode are pretty good (the former for well cited intros, the latter for more in depth stuff on the topic)

        Damn, Thanos! We are overpopulated, I agree. But human numbers have always (and I do mean always, as long as we’ve been able to track it) adjusted to the sustainability of their environment given all but the most dire of economic factors that might affect that. Right now, we’re seeing a rapid decline in children being born throughout the world. Just because it doesn’t happen on a particular time table doesn’t mean it’s not correcting itself.

        This. Tell people to not eat meat and hear the cries of agreement. Tell people to stop having kids and all of a sudden you’re another Hitler.

      True, humanity is a goddamn cancer I’m glad you understand

      Jokes aside, your opinion is bullshit. Meat is not a requirement it is a PREFERENCE
