-me clueless politician calls "sustainable"? Because that is the only thing that could significantly reduce the highly-exaggerated impact farming supposedly has on the environment.

This largely comes from Malthus's 1798 Essay on the Principle of Population. Since then, we have been ten years away from unavoidable, irreparable ecological devastation that will wipe out humanity. The predictions are always wrong. We have barely scratched the surface of the planet's resources.
One of the big Economic Journals is called "The Dismal Science" after the Malthusians.
Malthus? The guy debunked in the Out Of Frame youtube video about Thanos? https://youtu.be/iV18Xx5EkaE
The one and the same. Radical Liberation recently did an excellent stream on the history of Maltusian thinking, including the World Economic Forum.
We've been 10 years away from environmental collapse my entire life,
That's wrong though. Humans have wasted and polluted the planet.
Crude oil's running low so we've switched to fracking and shale oil. I know a few iron mines in the US are shut down because the rich veins have run out and they're digging sub-par ores.
Crude is getting more expensive, so the market invested in a different power source. The earth's core is mostly iron, so that isn't running out anytime soon. I don't understand the problem.
Don't try to understand words like fracking, just scream and writhe when you hear it!
...I am joking of course.
Because crude ran low. How's your gas prices, getting lower?
It's just one example. We've used up the low-hanging fruit of the planet's resources, so extraction is getting more expensive.
The planet does have plenty of resources, but it's managed and wasted by retards. Always has been.
Geoeconomic warfare and primitivist politicians are more responsible for the expense of crude than the increasing difficulty of extraction. Technology will continue to make these things easier, as long as the progressives don't burn all the capital first. Do you propose we tap the hardest to reach resources first?
Spez: I forgot to mention that, yes, gas prices have been low for a while. The commies used to cite falling oil prices as the cause of Venezuela's collapse.
Yes, actually. Not the cheapest in my lifetime, but certainly cheaper than the early-mid 2010's.
Well, then, stop using "Too many" this and that to justify hunting, then.
There's too many fuckign asians, but the politicos refuse to recognise whites got on the birth control bandwagon in the 1960s, but the other races got, and still get, free passes that no other creature, not whites or other animals, get.
Fuck them and their cultures.
Prince Charles adn his ilk should have hunted the pakis and fed them to tigers instead of the other way round.
Capitalism does NOT need "constant growth". It could do fine with the sort of steady state population demanded of every other creature on earth.
Othwerwise, humans are no difrfernt than the monsters in independence day.
China wasn't "killing babies" because of fake birth control, they were killing GIRL babies to make more men for their army and genetic swamping. You could CULL 1 billion chinese and they'd still be the most populous nation on earth, and india would still be 2 if you did the same to them.
And hunting ain't culling, btw, it's just eliminating the unlucky. A true "cull" would be actual EUgenics (rather than the DYSgenics humans oftten subject their domesticates to. It's kidn of odd that animal breeders care more about genetic health of other species than humans care about the genetic health of their own. I wonder what would happen if humans found themselves in the position of merles, where two of the same pheno-genotype doesn't dare breed ....)
Chinese prefer to abort girl babies because Chinese wombyn can't carry the family name and that would make their clan go extinct, plus they can only have 1 child, so obviously only the male child gets to survive.
Yes.

Isn't that poisonous?
With the population density of NYC, we could fit another 80 billion people on the planet and still have plenty of room to farm.
Misery very bad, not death.
-Cuomo
It would be, but that misery would reduce reproductive rates.
Point is, there's no need for genocide.
WE NEED TO GO TO SPAAAAACE
Ignorant people have confused “capitalism” with “publicly traded” somehow and it’s just stuck
