If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌

Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. But, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.

    Oh, so you get to decide who gets to have kids and how many? And the “trailer park welfare mom” is your problem? Like, the straw(wo)man you made up with ingredients from classism, sexism and eugenics?

    Yea, that makes you a regular fascist. The “eco” is just the excuse.

      And notice it’s the woman who is the centre of this made up problem. Not the dads. Not the poverty, not the system or lack of access to birth control options… Wonder why he didn’t bring up the Nazi billionaire with his hareem he keeps in his million dollar compound…

      No it’s the loose woman in a trailer park.

      You can have honest and valid concerns about overpopulation. But you aren’t going to get any respect from me if it comes out of your mouth like that.

        I mean, the “I’m sorry if it makes me an ecofascist, but” line was a dead giveaway from the start.

          Well if that was the first mistake in my comment, seeing how it’s the last thing I said, then I think I rest my case.

      You’re right, I Unintenitonally used a straw man argument. and what did you do, turn around and you used one right back, insenuiating that I think I get to decide who can reproduce.

      give me a fucking break.
