The population will continue to increase, and there isn’t much you can do about it. 10 billion seems to be the new consensus. After that the population will stabilize and will probably start to shrink. So you may as well think of ways to improve our energy efficiency.

There are a lot of places where we are wasting energy needlessly. Transport chains, cars, cities which are built in car-centric ways, overproduction, packaging. If we can fix all of these, I’m sure we’ll have plenty of energy to spare.

Our planet can produce food for 10 billion people. However this is not possible, if we keep the current waste of food under capitalism. As long as we continue to waste half of our food before it even reaches the supermarkets, doing intensive agriculture, deforestation, etc… There is just no planet that can sustain so much abuse.

I know, but the Western media insists on calling it a draft to pretend Putin is desperate.

It’s not a draft. It’s merely the reserves being called to active service.

Maybe this is the crisis that turns a lot of countries away from the unstable western financial system.

What good is peacefully marching if fascists can come to a protest, gun down people and leave with impunity?

I think it’s mainly due to outsourcing. They de-industrialized themselves and can’t even manufacture enough to supply their own imperialist armies. Europeans have no idea how lucky they are that Russians have so much restraint. If Russia wanted to go all the way to Berlin again, they could and without much effort.

Obviously I don’t like a nazi Ukraine. I understand perfectly that it’s not a sovereign country. Since 2014 it’s been ruled like a US colony. But I still believe that Russia coming in and chopping up the country as they see fit, and leaving the rest as a failed state is far from an ideal solution.

I think we need to clarify that Russia annexing Ukraine is most definitely not based, and also attacks the legacy of the Soviet Union, especially of Lenin. This war could’ve easily been avoided if the West had respected Russia’s red lines, which they purposefully crossed.

Damn, that cope is so bitter it’s radioactive.

Even if they do, it will take months for them to reach the battlefield.

Let’s see him do that in Ukraine.

Noooo, but China!!! Chiiiiinaaa!!!

Well, if everyone becomes imortal and keep having kids the population of this planet will explode.

I don’t believe we will se immortality anytime soon. I mean, even if they manage to make your skin look younger, and clone new organs to replace defective ones, what about the brain? It will continue to age and develop more complex problems the older it gets. And even then, if immortality was invented that would raise massive sustainability issues, because of the massive population boom.

What about pipes and cables? How do they handle those?

I think in order to fight such a virus, we need a global coordinated response, which is something the West would never do. So there isn’t much point in continuing to fight it all by yourself.

The whole coverage of this war has been a blatant violation of journalistic standards.

What’s going on in Canada?

Seems like they’re salty that Taiwan isn’t going to embark on a crazy independence crusade. So this is their way of getting revenge.

Yeah, people are very selfish in the West.

Yeah, if we had a coordinated global response, I think this pandemic could’ve been over in less than a year.

Yes less diversity is better, the perfect civilization is just a gigantic clone army.

Anti-vaxxers and transphobes are also running wild.

When this happens just temporarily disable the downvote button, they’ll get tired and think of some other lifeless hobby to do.

What I find funny is that they assume that everyone that posts on a communist sub, is a fully informed and knowledgeable Marxist. Not just someone who is starting out, and still has a mind filled with liberal ideas and pre conceptions. Just seems cheap from them to mock this.

I bet they all use the same footage and clips.

Take extra good care of yourself. I heard this new variant can avoid Covid immunity. I fear this will get worse if new variants keep showing up. Governments are playing with this virus, and this has the potential to spiral out of control.

At least RT doesn’t portray Nazis as heroes.

All Western countries are. Guess they aren’t very concerned anymore, about pretending they’re democracies.

hmmm, Is it based? Has Juche server but implies Taiwan is a country.

I’ve stopped wearing a mask because the government here in Portugal has declared that Covid is now a normal disease. That’s right, if you become infected you have to come to work and there is no isolation anymore. This is irresponsible. So I’m not sure if there’s a point in continuing to wear a mask, since they seem to be actively trying to get everyone infected.

the father of the Soviet space program was Ukrainian

Yeah but he worked with Russians, so they would probably just shoot him dead today.

Thanks you wholesome US for getting us rid of the Human Rights violator cheap Russian gas. Now we can get wholesome Humanitarian Saudi and Native American gas for much higher prices.

But what’s the point of lying to British millionaires? Are they supposed to decipher some code? I’ve tried reading the Economist but it just seems like blatant liberal propaganda.

Remember when they pretended to fight the Nazis? They sure took their acting to an extreme level!

One very dangerous thing that is forming, is the idea that the Russian army is weak and incompetent. This will only make it easier to manufacture consent for a war with Russia. Westoids are really starting to believe that NATO can easily defeat Russia.

Lol, if the EU can’t do business with Saudi Arabia, where the hell are they gonna get NatGas and oil from? Europe is over. There’s just no way the US can fulfill all their energy needs regardless of the price.

I suggest people take a look at Garland Nixon. He’s pretty left wing and quite funny too.

I’d argue it’s even worse now. These Ukronazis have loads of Nazi insignia on display and Westoids couldn’t care less. Like you point that out, and they either say the Russians are the fascists or that these Nazis deserve support for fighting the Russians. It’s sickening.
