I can already hear it. I know, I know, doomerism has been weaponized in order to keep the working class undereducated, depressed, drugged up, inert, or dead, and I’m falling for bourgeois tactics.
At the same time, though, I look around (even from a privileged, western perspective) and see things getting worse and worse, daily. My life and country have both begun to collapse.
I’m pretty white-pilled when it comes to the human race on the whole, especially with China as the rising superpower, but Jesus. Global economy in shambles, political and civil unrest, and the worst existential threat in human history in climate change all at the same time.
What are the next 20 years going to bring?
I’m scared, and I have a really bad feeling about all of this.
I mean, fertilizer and our industrialized farming practices are powered by oil - a limited resource. How are we to sustainably feed 9, 10, 11 billion people when that will run out?
Asking in good faith I just don’t understand? Like the way we make food now is basically cheating and unsustainable, how do we sustain a HIGHER population without oil and destroying fertile land?
Is it true that we have tons of arable land available?
I’m undereducated in this sector

Nah I think I got the gist. Same here with COVID and Ukraine, but weirdly never anticommunist. Somehow I got thrusted into communism after I became politically involved. But I was brained washed in the weirdest ways by the media. I identified as a liberal cause I thought they were socialists. When I was younger me and my friends memes about the Soviets but as a lighthearted thing. I’ve always wanted hear both sides of things (well my parents were divorced but in ablood thirsty kind of way) So I’ve always tried to learn about the USSR and China. Lucky I know lol.

Yeah after you get past the propaganda it is morbidly hilarious to see people get blood thirsty over people who risked their lives to better their people, like fucking Stalin! Imagine filling Lenin’s shoes, rooting out Nazi infiltrators, industrialize your backwards country, watch over the first socialist state, guide your people to free Europe from total nazification, be humble about it and then have your name slandered so some middle class white boy can make fun of you while he is in complete denial! It is crazy just how much they lie to you. We are at a point where all these “history” channels kids watch are an echo of propaganda but “since it’s multiple sources” it must be true. God it’s infuriating. I hope I can spread the good message to my siblings and peers, it’s easier to get people to comprehend when there’s not a text walk between them and it’s someone they trust. Rant over, lol.
Overpopulation is just a spook. You think you’re making it out of this world alive?
And not that history is cruel or whatever; but we are at about 8 bill people now. If we are going to die by mass starvation and lack of resources; what difference does it make if it’s 7 billion or 30 billion? We are talking billions of lives that could be snuffed out by lack of resources NOW. The nightmare cant be any worse than it is IF shit gets that bad. Malthusian worry doesn’t matter anymore. A culling of billions be it natural or man made is either going to happen or it wont.
Bare minimum; we can TRY to save ourselves.
