in the US at least, you already have space and nature
"overpopulation" is a meme like "climate change"
there is some truth to both of these, and the principles are sound
but it's infected the minds of nearly everyone
good or bad
they see life in this frame, they consider certain ends good or preferable or more important or more timely
As I said, I don't care if the Third World want to stack themselves like cordwood. Other than the fact that the cordwood will snuff out thousands of species more valuable than the cordwood.
that aren't necessarily so
true.
All people have and need frames.
most people, including people like us
don't realize how much of their assumptions come from around them
there is no such thing as a sui generis intellect
"they consider certain ends good or preferable or more important or more timely". Everyone does this. We have no choice but to find "certain ends and goods" preferable, or we would be unable to act.
that's right, of course
I realize that.
but the emphasis is on CERTAIN ones than arent necessarily so
I'm fully comfortable with my choice for some wilderness, low population density, etc. I'm willing to accept that it's a choice and not universal, and still act on it.
gotcha
sure, I'm not a fan of high population density myself
I'm now comfortable with existential choices that I can't be sure or know are not universally provable or true
big cities make me uncomfortable
I'm so not a fan I'm willing to use the force of the state to enforce my preferences.
well, we have that in common
if suddenly
every white person in the US
became temperamentally a chink, for instance
what would change?
i.e. their mentality would become chinese, their attitudes towards race etc.
I suspect the supremacy of whites in the US would become unquestioned within a year
all immigration/non-white population problems would be solved with a heavy hand
very quickly
everyone would know what was theirs, and what wasn't
true. I have a good Chinese friend who is here because the air pollution was killing his son. He's as alt-right and supremacist as I am.
they would become jingoistic about the world outside
I get a little annoyed because I see people gravitate towards the right in large numbers
He's great. Totally on board with the alt-right. Doesn't approve of miscegenation, either.
due to issue like say, islamic invasion
yeah. It's annoying.
but underneath, they are fully leftists
it's so easy and facile.
