“Doomer” is just an ad hominem label for someone who understands our multi-faceted predicament can’t be solved by “green capitalism”, & in fact that will make it worse. For instance mining for critical minerals (diesel) will need to increase 16x and that will inevitably destroy more of the biosphere

As society becomes increasingly stupefied its members becomes cleverer at doing stupid things. We are now very very clever at doing very very stupid things. In our foolishness, we call the increase in cleverness at doing very stupid things, PROGRESS

OUR PRESS RELEASE:
Australian Treasury’s “accidental” release on housing supply is an admission of mass immigration/the Big Australia (population) agenda's gross failures:

#HousingCrisis #population #immigration

Perhaps our biggest error of judgement was misjudging our own capacity to solve our existential problems: despite our own dire projections, we created an ever more complicated jungle of a civilisation that is finally beginning to eat itself alive.

Any civilisation that fails to limit its growth ultimately becomes the latest in a long history of casualties who saw the limits, and still chose to speed into the wall

#Water the forgotten cost of Big Australia.

The next #drought will be a wake up call.

As we mass import people from the world's most populous countries.

Maybe it's time we asked ourselves: Just what is it they're trying to escape?

On the world's driest inhabited continent,
#water use efficiency should be a priority

However if we continue to grow our population at this rate, every gain is quickly overwhelmed.
Whereas in a stable population scenario, every efficiency gain- is actually a gain!

Regarding misanthropy Is human nature destructive? Or have human beings indoctrinated themselves into a belief system that is destructive? The quandary is worth pursuing even if it yields no conclusive answer.

In order to justify the annihilation of animals and nature, we make ourselves into gods and them into nothing.

When your economy over-relies on an #immigration fed housing construction industry, the population must keep growing at a faster rate.

Why? because you not only need jobs for the last intake, but you must create jobs for the new arrivals.

This ends in disaster!

Less is more: Can degrowth save the world? The degrowth movement questions the feasibility of the idea of endless economic growth on a finite planet.

To talk smaller impacts while ignoring population size is naive.

#Population growth harms per capita lifestyles and ecosystems.

#Population growth boosts GDP & corporate profits.

So what will it be?

Look at the most populous countries on earth.

What is it about them we desire?
Why are people leaving them for lower density places?

Do people really want to live like this?

We recycle,
we use paper straws,
we use "renewable" energy,
we try to consume less, even go vegan,
we use public transport,
we live in tiny houses, 15th storey flats,

... yet still our footprint grows upon this land, as our population expands.
