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.

      Eh, the way it was written I wouldn’t have read it as sarcasm. Text and tone yada yada. That said, I’ve definitely seen people who seriously think like this.

      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
