Good. We are not doing enough yet. We should blow as much pollution into the air as quickly as possible. And spray as many chemicals on the earth and dump plastic into the oceans as we can.
The sooner we make this planet uninhabitable for human life, the sooner it can begin to regenerate for a future species that will do better.
Humanity, the disease, the parasite, must be completely eradicated.
Eco-fascism is cringe
Not really eco-fascism mor like eco-accelerationism
Same callous disregard for life.
At least eco fascists have regard for non-human life. Eco-accelerationists seem to want all life extinguished
Everything is "cringe" nowadays. Calling things cringe is cringe. nobody gives a shit.
Didn't ask tho
Neither did they?
I mean... I agree with you. That shit is cringe... but saying "Didn't ask" to someone who didn't ask either is pretty cringe too.
I didn't ask for their weird ass cringe opinion piece
Yes, I understand how publicly accessible social media works.
Saying "No one asked" in a public forum is the dumbest comeback someone can come up with. Do you not understand what Lemmy is? No one is asking anyone for opinions, but adding yours to a conversation is inviting others to add theirs...
You can always find a private instance and only interact with opinions you like.
How tf is a comment like this one which is basically on some ISIS-like kill everyone level beeing upvoted?
Because if there's one thing lemmy loves, it's intellectually lazy hyperbole.
Fiction fetishizes the “burn it all down and restart” mentality; but you could stretch imagination to a billion sentient species, even assuming they could ever exist, and I doubt any could make the change and progress humanity has.
It’s not even possible to duplicate the Industrial Revolution before, because the easily accessible fuel is no longer there.
Fixing things is hard and getting consensus on things is hard. Easier to get people to do something when the building is already on fire. However, in the end, it's better to not light the place on fire just do you don't have to talk to people.
I'm fine if we eat the rich, though.
I do not think it's any easier to get people to do things when the building is on fire. People just become more stressed, and make poorer decisions for self-preservation. While you do see people support each other during disasters like floods, it's not always the case.
Who does this brand of acceleration help? It's not people, we die from it. Same with all the life. Is it future life that it helps? Why value potential future life over existent present life? Shouldn't we be working as hard as we can to improve conditions instead of giving up and killing ourselves?
The fastest way to ease the pain of a broken arm is to cut it off at the shoulder, but sometimes the fastest way to do something is the worst way to do it
Their precious economies can't survive beyond 2050. Damages from climate disasters will be big enough to make every economy shrink and make the Great Depression look like child's play.
Yeah, let's kill all humans and leave the Earth a smoking crater so nothing can ever grow here again. That'll really help the future life.
