Because it’s not good for productive economies that can produce solutions to current problems to stagnate and die. Japan should make moves to encourage a sustainable population growth rate.

Overpopulation is a problem mostly in struggling economies.

Hexbear is left wing.

Lol exactly, thank you for reminding me why I hate that phrase so much 🤣

Ah yes, I too remember when the BBC openly advocated rape and lynching.

Lol, what do you disagree about? Is a 1.5°C rise apocalyptic?

This is actually the truth. I am a CSA survivor, and I didn’t report and now I wish so bad I did.

If anyone reading this has recently been through it, report it now! Don’t wait 20 years like me to even confront it and then never have a chance at closure.

100% this. I wish I had… I’m only confronting it psychologically now, 20 years later, and I have to face the fact there’s no chance of getting justice.

They were responding to a comment about the legal system and problems with prosecuting SA cases, so of course they are going to be discussing that over the wider social implications.

I don’t know why you are jumping to conclusions here. The point they made about the legal system is extremely valid. As a survivor of CSA myself it’s something I confront in my mind every single day, but they are right: the opposite method would be horrific.

I think a mix of religion and being brought up with old-school morality. I’m a conservative who has no problems with homosexuals, in fact HIV/AIDS is one of the causes I really get behind because the history of it fascinates me (currently reading And The Band Played On, it’s great).

Whenever I see homophobia or erroneous beliefs about them I try and correct them when I can.

Are these Tory terrorists in the room with us now?

Lmao, yeh it sounds exactly like what I thought it would be. Attracts a certain type of person and politics.

I would say just generalizing capitalism as ‘bad’ is also not in good faith. It is not without issues, and letting it be completely unrestrained would probably be disastrous. But no other economic system has lifted more people out of abject poverty or driven technological innovation as hard. There are benefits.

Bruh, I don’t believe in late stage capitalism either but we are definitely living in capitalist economies in most of the world.

Capitalism isn’t just laissez-faire, completely free market type stuff. It’s a spectrum.

Not emitting is not that easy. We are in a transition period at the moment. Electric vehicles are here but we don’t have all the infrastructure needed to support them. Let alone the fact that battery tech is not developing as fast as we need it to.

Right now liquid fuels still have the advantage of greater energy density. If we could move to hydrogen fuels that would be cool, and we could repurpose existing petroleum facilities.

But who knows which way the tech is going to go. The only sure thing is that we are in for a wild ride one way or the other.

Lol

Lol yeh there’s still some wrinkles to be ironed out, I was accidentally posting loads of times because Jerboa told me my comment didn’t go through when really it did.
