Never thought about it like this, huh

Up until this point my attitude was just "embrace cringe, it sets you free"

i steal posts

if your channel is larger than mine, i steal posts from you because these are reparations, revenge from below, an uprising of the oppressed, small, and weak

if your channel is smaller than mine, i steal posts from you because this is life, the strong eat the weak and what are you gonna do about it

if you have the same number of subscribers as i do, i steal posts from you because we are almost colleagues, brothers in arms, we must stick together and share everything

i stole this post too

Good work strikes

'Once we accept without any reflection or criticism that we live in a “grow-or-die” capitalistic society in which accumulation is literally a law of economic survival and competition is the motor of “progress,” anything we have to say about population is basically meaningless. The biosphere will eventually be destroyed whether five billion or fifty million live on the planet.

Competing firms in a “dog-eat-dog” market must outproduce each other if they are to remain in existence. They must plunder the soil, remove the earth’s forests, kill off its wildlife, pollute its air and waterways not because their intentions are necessarily bad, although they usually are — hence the absurdity of the spiritualistic pablum in which Americans are currently immersed — but because they must simply survive.'

— Murray Bookchin, The Population Myth

Oh, also worth noting: Population growth is, paradoxically, driven by poor economic circumstance. This is because of factors such as reduced access to contraception, worse social safety nets necessitating children, etc. Not only is capitalist greed limiting access to food and homes, it's creating the circumstances needed for explosive growth, exacerbating the issues it creates.

Capitalism creates issues that movements like fascism exist to "cure." I'm going to tell you right now that the elite are going to try to introduce fascist policies to fix capitalist-manufactured "overpopulation" (blaming rising populations for disproportionate scacity of resources) rather than treat the underlying causes, i.e. hoarding of material wealth.

Don't be fooled by their rhetoric.

i am with the boomers on this one.

Do I get a Nextdoor account? I want to be more aware of what's happening in the local community so I can serveit better, but I also know that there's a lot of bullshit that goes on there
