  • If a generation is 25 years, there 7.9 billion people on Earth, and the replacement rate is 1.0, then humans will disappear in about 800 years.

    If we enforced a 1.0 replacement rate for two generations, the global population would decrease by 75%, leaving 1.9 billion people in play. This is the global population in 1919. If we go three generations, we could get down to 985ish million prople.

    That would be amazing for our climate goals and would be considered ethical and humane by most.

  • I think that democracy may be okay. Hear me out. Everywhere I turn I keep hearing that democracy has failed for a variety of reasons that I won't rehash here.

    What if the "democracy has failed" assertion is meant to dishearten people who would otherwise fight for it? Like, if democracy has already failed then there is no point to fighting the fascists. But, if the fascists have a road map to destroy democracy that relies on little to no resistance from the masses, then convincing people that democracy has failed is a pretty sharp move from a political strategy point of view.

  • I'm going to link my ID and look up the most mind blowingly vile, while remaining legal, porn. If they want to talk to me about it, then I am going to make them describe each video before I "remember" what I saw, after which point I will refuse to acknowledge it as porn.

    Sure, it's dumb, but it's fun dumb.

  • Okay, so this is a joke post. It is not sincere. It is sarcasm.

    This is sarcasm.

    Okay, get this shit. Imagine convincing the alt-right to vote for Biden with the following (horrible and presented here only for amusement) argument:

    "You can't vote for Trump/Vance because Vance married an immigrant and is attempting to replace the proud tradition of a white first family (I know, I know, but it's a joke, please chill).

    "You have to vote for Biden/Harris because Harris at least married a white man (again, this is a silly and racist thing to argue)."

    I feel like that may work since people who are alt-right racist garbage typically cannot think their way out of a white paper bag.
