    We have enough resources to support the current global population and then some. To call the failure of our chosen economic system to distribute those resources rather than burn them or let them rot in warehouses “overpopulation” is misdirection.

    It’s kind of like this: I have two sandwiches, I only need one, and you come up to me because you’re hungry. I tell you “Ah I see your problem. There’s too many of you! If you were fewer people, you wouldn’t need a sandwich.”

      No, I get that the resources could be distributed better, but there is no environment wherein the current population is going to be supportable by the current biome esp considering climate change.

      It’s wild to think otherwise, frankly.
