Edit: to the hexbear user who accused me of ecofascism and asked "which people should stop having children?" my answer to you is: Nobody should be having kids because the world is fucking ending. Reproduction is stupid, selfish and immoral when we literally have a time line of between 6 and 25 years for running out of fresh water and arable land, and we're looking at 4+°c warming this century. Hexbear is unfederated with piefed and I'm not going to torture my eyes trying to read this thread on its original instance again just to see if you respond, I'm pretty sure you're just going to accuse me of silly shit that doesn't make sense anyway. The last time I spoke to a hexbearer about antinatalism, they called me a eugenicist for talking about not having kids.

How selfish can you be to bring yet more people into this hell world, just because you want to have a baby? permalink fedilink source parent [–] joostjakob@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children) Sure, we're on course for disaster. But pretending like there is a single tipping point and that we're Doomed (doomed, I say!) anyway, is just a convenient excuse to wallow in hopelessness and inaction. The truth is that we're still making things worse by the day, and every kilo of CO2 saved helps slow down the speed of the disaster. And those little efforts by folks like us, might still make the difference between 1 billion dead or 1.1 billion dead. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] unknown@piefed.social 0 points 1 year ago (2 children) And those little efforts by folks like us, might still make the difference between 1 billion dead or 1.1 billion dead. Lmao, bro what sort of bullshit hopium are you puffing on to think the death toll will be 1.1 billion at worst?! Fresh water resources are depleting rapidly and arable land is being lost at breakneck speed. If the blue ocean event doesn't get us all first, the drought and famine will. Humanity will not make it out of the century. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] joostjakob@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) It's just a random number.

Keep it up buddy, a good worker is a hopeful worker! But sure whatever, go recycle something and buy an electric car if it makes you feel better. You don't have much time left anyway, so you might as well be a happy moron. permalink fedilink source parent
