is doctor who over or did i just cut out the right people from my life
“overpopulation” is what racist liberals blame the ecological crisis on. you know…not capitalism stripping the earth of resources or anything. Your average millionaire probably consumes about as much resources as 1,000 working class people.
yes this is such a brilliant point and building off of it, how about that narrative that shames ~third world countries~ for their population growth rates as the major factor in the depletion of natural resources and as the harbinger of future ecological doom meanwhile you’ve got countries like the uk (with 60 million people) using more natural resources and goods than countries like china (with over a billion people) or entire continents like africa/south america, and then you’ve got the united states using as many or more fossil fuels as china and india (even though both have four times as many people). like western academics are so quick to point fingers at the ‘developing world’ while ignoring the very crucial fact that the capitalist imperialist/neoimperialist societies of the west are using natural resources at unprecedented rates/many times more than the rest of the world combined and that if the rest of the world had their per capita usage it would take something like 4 more earths to sustain this kind of living
gourmetmilkshake said: people are only starving bc corporations strip the earth of its natural resources to manufacture food to feed a small portion of the world. the earth has enough to feed us, its just the people in control of the food will only give it to those wit $$
omg ur right i completely forgot abt that!! so its not rly so much an issue of overpopulation as it is people taking more than they need. its confusing to no end how people could be so greedy
