To call the failure of our chosen economic system to distribute those resources rather than burn them or let them rot in warehouses "overpopulation" is misdirection. It's kind of like this: I have two sandwiches, I only need one, and you come up to me because you're hungry. I tell you "Ah I see your problem. There's too many of you! If you were fewer people, you wouldn't need a sandwich." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] MisterQueue@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago No, I get that the resources could be distributed better, but there is no environment wherein the current population is going to be supportable by the current biome esp considering climate change.
