Reminder that almost every single one of us is part of the world’s richest 10%.
Agreed. Exactly why we need to listen to these marginalized communities, and empower them to take action on our behalf and with our cooperation. It’s why no matter how good I think my ideas are, I try to recognize that I come from a position of relative privilege, and that it is likely that even my best of ideas will be lacking in intersectional analysis that is needed to develop real, powerful solutions.

I mean, shrinking the population would absolutely help assuming that you shrunk it enough.
It’s hard to destroy an environment when the destroyers dont exist.

It would be more efficient if we shrunk the power of the wealthiest individuals and made everyone fall under a wealthy limit
Why should one person own and control so much wealth when they will never realistically be able to enjoy all of that wealth during their lifetime? Especially if that one person hoarding all that wealth they’ll never use is producing, creating and maintaining so much pollution for one individual.

We better make sure to completely eradicate all life on Earth down to the tiniest microbe just to be certain that life like us doesn’t evolve again, I guess.
Sure, or we could just ban super yachts, private jets, cruise ships and empower those indigenous communities who have had such meaningful successes to spread their ideas and understanding so that we can begin to develop a sustainable culture, and we don’t need to kill half the worlds population.

¿por que no los dos?
Also, not half the population, more like 99.9% of it. Start with the richest first, and work your way down.
I mean, were you paying attention? The answer to why not is because it’s eco-fascist rhetoric and I’m not an eco-fash.
I’m unsure of the Artist of this one, but the oldest reference tineye reverse image search found was this medium page, which is down. I’ve linked the archived version I found, but I can’t seem to locate the image itself to be sure this is the origin.

If you know the artist let me know, I’d love to see more of their stuff!

I spent a long-ass time trying to work out why a bunch of randos, dressed in generic national costumes like when '80s Saturday morning cartoons tried to be diverse, would be eco-fascists who want to oppress the indigenous Irish. I actually almost thought it was a racist joke about how England isn’t as white as it used to be.

The layout is a little confusing, but the message is the important part and is correct.

NEVER trust the vehement anti-natalist movements. It’s thinly veiled eugenics that brands itself as super-moral.
