They went mask off the second bill gates bought them out.
Not sure what the vid is about and I don’t care to watch. Feels like an odd video for them. They should stick to making mildly thought provoking videos about space and ant colonies.
The franchise was well past the point of no return by the time of the “if 99% of humanity died off from climate collapse, rejoice because that is still a net win for humanity because vague hopes of innovation and rich assholes magically thriving with their offspring after that” video.
I don’t like how it starts off with the sensationalist “millions of people will disappear”. A lot of this stuff is undergrad environmental science but packaged in an orientalist way to drive clicks.
Also they will never ever confront capitalism lmao. Don’t want to anger their donors.
Millions of people are disappearing right now due to dying but when I make videos lamenting it I get called an antinatalist and then told to kill myself.
I don’t understand the anti-antinatalist stuff. Having a kid is literally the worst thing you can do to the environment. Shouldn’t we reckon with that?
Having a kid is literally the worst thing you can do to the environment.
If you’re equating a random child born anywhere in the world with a billionaire’s carbon and pollution imprint, that’s a staggering false equivalency.
Reckon with human life itself being bad for the environment? No, I don’t think we should reckon with that, because the only actionable conclusions from that assumption are “we should make being alive less bad for the environment” where you end up on the same page as everybody else or “we should all die.”
I’m kind of antinatalist, but where the child is born makes a huge difference. A single USian is practically the same carbon footprint as some whole villages in Africa, SE Asia, and elsewhere
But also 70% of carbon emissions are from 100ish companies, and “carbon footprint” was coined by ExxonMobil Mobile to deflect from this fact. Or maybe it was Shell.
It’s just more social democratic nonsense that ignores labor value and the fact that declining birth rates are either due to state intervention (China) or a greater share of surplus going to the wealthy
