Or, yk, live in a different way. But that might be harder than having a lot of people die. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pretty sure the birth rate is plummeting. So continue doing nothing i guess.
Fucking paying money to raise a wage slave renter for the shitty bosses and landlords of the world.
Most of the destruction is Capitalism and Consumer Society overproduction and overexploitation - a lot of unecessary shit is done and a lot of what’s done is done in unecessarily destructive ways (with lots of Negative Externatities) when it could’ve been done in far less destructive but less profit-generating ways, all because our political and economic structures are dedicated to the maximization of the wealth of the richest people.
(It’s not by chance that Ecologist parties are generally leftwing - the politicies for protecting the Environment are generally diametrally opposite of the politicies that maximize the investment profits of those who own most shit and have the most money)
I bet that only about 100 people need to die (all billionaires) to save the planet, an acceptable sacrifice.
Gee, I wonder which group is going to be genocided by the wealthy…
What, you think it’ll just be one group?
Or we could try to not live and consume resources at the scale of the average US household (let alone the accursed millionaire and billionaire classes).
Plenty of stuff to go around actually
Prepare for nuclear war folks.
Do we? Cuz like, I’m willing to go
population x individual emissions = global emissions
Which number you want to change says a lot about your politics.
edit: given it’s the daily mail *spits on the ground* it’s very likely the researchers didn’t even say anything about which number to tune, the daily mail just added their special flavor to the headline. (probably also have a good idea which 4 billion has to go)
Thanos did nothing wrong
are the avengers going to say thier sorry for thanos.
How about we start with 1% and see what happens.
Just the top 10000 would make a big difference already
Then the systems that prop up that 1% continue on as if nothing happened, only people might be paid more evenly.
That’s it. Expecting a fundamental shift in how humanity/global society functions just because a comparitive handful of people die is just ridiculous.
The absence of their influence in Politics will make a massive difference.
The resources captured by the rich are probably a far smaller part of the problems they make than how they use the money they have to shape Politics and Public Opinion (via the Media they own), hence policies, hence the way our society and economy operates to maximized their own wealth.
Most Overconsumption and Negative Externality problems (both things that serve to maximized the profits that end up in the hands of Asset Owners and both the kind of thing that most damages the Environment) could be legislated away, but there is no will and there is no will because the politicians and the media are bought by those who benefit from things being as they are, and they are bought because those people have lots of money to buy them with.
Take the power to buy politicians and deciding what the press puts out away from the rich and all of a sudden profit-reducing pro-Environmental policies are not just politically acceptable but even demanded by public opinion, and given that said rich people would never give up on that without a massivelly destructive fight (literally Revolution), the safest and best option for about 99.9998% of people (8 billion minus 10,000 out of 8 billion) would probably be that a handful of rich people just die.
But we won’t know for sure unless we try.
And of course if they are gone, they won’t be there to kick and scream like children against every step of progress.
Yes, let’s get rid of all trans people! /s /s
Thatd include most of us, though.
So you’re a multi millionaire, then?
Because I’m not, I can barely keep my head above water.
Would it? What’s the net worth of the 80,000,000th richest person?
I’m safe by a wide margin, lol
Bottom of the top 1% globally have a net worth of $1 Million
I’m already on board you can stop trying to convince me
I have a net worth of about 10k… And a kidney I guess
A kidney? Psssh that’s small potatoes, how much RAM do you have?
Good point, 32Gb ddr5
TIL my family is well into the 1%… I don’t know how to feel about this.
Probably like you should advocate for global wealth inequality to be fixed, because it is absolutely shameful how much the ultrawealthy (capitalists, the 0.1%) take from the rest of us.
Like, if you’re in the “comfortable” group in America, you’re in the global 1%. Not because we’re doing so amazing, but because we are standing on top of the global south to get there.
I already do! I’m just… disappointed? I don’t know, it’s a mix of emotions that are so very angry at them, especially because they know I want to eat the rich.
Don’t be disappointed. That’s how you can be turned to the capitalist’s interests (yes, you belong with us. They’ll only hurt once they know. Class solidarity is paramount and we’re your class). You have no shame to bear, just a future to win.
PS: disregard if you do have a shame to bear. You gotta make sure you deal with the shit you’ve caused, first, then.
1 million is the net worth of the person. Assuming the wealthiest person of your family has 50% of the family’s wealth, the wealthiest person is still not in the top 1%.

Doesn’t pass the sniff test, that’s almost the amount you need to be in Monaco’s top 1%. What’s your source?

lmao you wish
Ecofascism.
But the billionaires say we need MORE people so they have enough slaves of the colors they like!
It’s like dogs or ball pythons. They’re breeding selectively for the most desirable (to them) traits
Gotta have their favorite colorway
There was this book about a fertility reducing virus.
Dan Brown Inferno
Right, that one. Punchline was good.
alternatively we could probably do with just reducing population by every CEO/comapany owner/shareholder/leader/whoever has control that refuses to become climate neutral
I like this idea, fuck tax incentives and carbon credits.
You get to neutral, you shut down your business, or you die. Your choice!
