What is the deal with Malthusians?

Every time someone brings up overpopulation as a global issue, I respond with "overpopulation is a racist eugenicist myth", which it is.

And every time the reaction is wildly over the top; name calling and blocks.
It's always some Boomer, too.

Read a damn book.

Your semi-regular reminder that duplicate posts from multiple servers is just spamming everyone with the same content, because we're all federated together.

Human Rights are not negotiable.

Every person, WITHOUT EXCLUSION, has the right to:
- clean water and food
- shelter from weather and war
- medical treatment of choice for all illness and ailments
- education on subjects of their choosing
- worship any deity, or none at all

Anyone who restricts these rights for any reason, or enables others to do so, is committing an act against humanity.

Looking at you, leaders of people worldwide.

It's fascinating to see people deny the obvious, as if some magic thinking will change reality.

The Strait will never open again. 47 has made that a certainty.

The Age of Gasoline is over. All that's left is the death spasms of the industry as it struggles to extract its final dollars.

If you think gas is expensive now, just wait a while. This is the cheapest its ever going to be.

Go ahead, build a giant arch. Make it big enough for your entire mob to swing from.

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you’ve seen live:

Devo
The Accused
Metallica
Prince
Joe Satriani
Pantera
Tool
Dead and Co.
David Bowie
Rabbit in the Moon

Plus many, many more.

My posts may not get any attention or be in anyone's interest, but at least I write them and not some AI.

No one in this world knows or cares about me. I am just someone for others to project their fears and needs on.
I'm very tired, and very lonely, and running out of life.
Not seeing a lot of reasons to continue in a world that gives nothing back.

Let there be no doubt. Nazis are in charge of the USA, and Palantir is a deliberate cyber attack weapon against all ordinary, decent people.

Cant stop thinking about all the things in life that I missed, and how fucked up the present and forseeable future are.
Pretty sure no one would miss me that much if I just quit now.

Happy Mothers Day, hug 'em if you got 'em.

IMHO: Any law restricting scientifically proven medical care is MALPRACTICE, and should be litigated as such.
Politicians are not Doctors, and have no right to deny medical care on any basis. Abortion, Vaccines, Transgender care - all of it is not in the purview of non medically educated politicians, and every single one of them who proposes or supports these laws needs to be sued for malpractice and interference, until it is not politically acceptable to interfere.

I dont understand how many smart business leaders do not see AI for what it is.

Predatory capitalists have been tearing apart successful companies for money my entire life. AI is a tool that reduces a companies cash availability and removes its most expensive expenditure at the same time, while providing nothing of substance in return, making it ripe for the picking by these vultures with no work needed from them.

All In on AI just means your company will soon be ready for scrap and scavenge.

The Military Industrial Complex robs US citizens of more than $2 BILLION EVERY DAY during "peacetime".

A military TEN TIMES larger than any other on earth is THE REASON the fascists took control of the US government.
