      Because they don’t, letting people die for mother nature and whatever will inherently impact not white not rich people far more.

      Just letting shit collapse is a position that inherently comes from a place of knowing you’ll probably be fine when the dust settles, no matter how many bodies were needed to cushion the landing.

      It’s basically an even more heinous version of the sarcastic “I hate everyone equally” response to being called out for being a racist dick.

        Assuming every human actually does die that leaves just other animals and the few machines we left. I really don’t see how that would help rich people.

          Because you can’t kill every human. Human civilization has advanced to the point that it is capable of surviving basically anything short of everything all at once.

          So with that in mind, literally any ideology of “just let it all collapse”, no matter how much the shithead insists they hate everyone equally, is a fascist wish for death upon the disfortuned and socially ostracized.

          Being bad at math and insisting on a completely impossible “what I’mactually aiming for!” does not insulate you from being a racist shitbag for wanting a scenario which will inevitably cause the disproportionate slaughter of the underprivileged.

          Not even the Thanos Snap escapes this, the tack on impacts will naturally hit the disfortuned and socially ostracized hardest, making it a lot less “random” as the big purple antman pocket insists it would be.

            Practically it is impossible, I agree but everyone being dead leaves nobody to suffer. Logically this seems like a simple yet functional solution.

            It’s simplicity on a conceptual level is what I believe attracts so many to the idea.

            I didn’t expect anyone to actually consider mass genocide being a serious practical solution.

            I have no idea what this Thanos thing has to do with it either.

            Also I have no idea what maths has to do with this. I never mentioned an equation. Just that by everyone I indeed meant everyone. This is a theoretical solution. If humanity insisted on being practical all the time we would probably not have ended up with things like topology.
