The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a “doom loop” for the world’s poorest people, as staple food prices soar.

Honestly? Yeah, I thought you were serious, because I’ve seen that attitude expressed before. Generally it’s more “this hazy, unspecified population can be sacrificed to help me deal with the existential dread that me and my world are walking off a cliff” than “dear me I so DO delight in death”, but it makes my teeth ache.
Thank you for clarifying, and I’m sorry for jumping on you.
I didn’t think he was serious, fwiw.

Nuclear Winter about to solve climate change /s & If there is nothing left to safe there is no need for any efforts /s
I think there might be better alternatives including less suffering

It’s called Malthusianism (after the philosopher Malthus) and, yes, it is a real philosophy.

Sort of. Malthusians believe that disasters which take out large numbers of people help to keep the population in check and are therefore necessary. Obviously a little oversimplified, but that’s about what it boils down to.

It’s not an illogical stance; it’s just one that requires you to become less empathetic.
Completely honest, I lean a little bit more towards nuclear annihilation every day

From the rest of your comment history? Yes, it’s entirely believable. It’s more surprising that you’re walking it back, really.
Literally no way to discern whether it was a sarcastic joke or if you were legitimately an eco-fascist

I see a lot of people on the internet say some pretty horrible shit with a lot of conviction. Sorry that you’re having a rough time. Hopefully adding more clarity to your communication helps a bit.
