    The 36℅ you cited is for Mammalians, that doesn’t mean the rest of Biomass can be compared to it.

    Animal Biomass is around 0.5℅, so that puts it into relation.

    Also the earth consisist of 70% Water, this means Land mass is 30℅ and from that 30℅, around 46% is used by Humans.

    Also Land use has been steadily falling with modern agriculture. There was a time when Europa barely had any forests left, because of the extensive agricultural need for Farmland.

    I know “numbers scary”, but I think a bit of contextualisation can’t hurt.

    NB: Ecofascism is still Fascism.

      You’re gonna sit there and tell me it’s fine if only 5% of mammals are neither human nor livestock? That’s a horrifying thought alone, it means we’ve consumed or destroyed all of nature that we had the capability of doing such to. We should not be the 95% under any circumstance. We should not be 50%. We need there to be nature, we need there to be a natural order.

      For the record, the larger groups are fish and arthropods. That’s it. Sauropsida or Reptiles and amphibians are such a small amount of biomass that they’re completely negligible.

      BTW, it’s super cringe when you call the advocacy of women’s rights and education as “Fascism”.

        “(…) we need there to be natural order.”

        The natural order of things, does it involve a concept of degeneracy and normalcy?

        Always funny how quick the mask slips.

        Also humans are animals and therefore nature. There is no concept of nature versus humans, unless you enforce these boundaries to construct an ideology that needs it.

        This idea of nature just means everything “that is good” is nature, which does not make sense. In that view a whale is nature, but the rabies virus is not.

        Also to respond to your last sentence with an equal out of place diction.

        Why can’t you accept that Hubble’s constant is universally equal. That is anti science.

          does it involve a concept of degeneracy and normalcy?

          It involves a natural slow decline in human population via methods like empowering women’s rights and widely available education and upwards mobility in society. The solution that the UN came to in Cairo, Egypt, in 1995.

          The fuck are you talking about with masks and normalcy?

            You mean the “natural decline” that is already happening.

            Also what “upwards mobility” - Capitalism is hell bent in killing us all - the upwards mobility is not the solution here.

              You mean the “natural decline” that is already haappening.

              Correct (except for the spelling), users such as you, OP, and Elon Musk are advocating against that. You’re part of a movement called pronatalism.

              Also what “upwards mobility” - Capitalism is hell bent in killing us all - the upwards mobility is not the solution here.

              I have used the word capitalism exactly 0 times in this discussion, so you have no reason to assume the methods of naturally reducing population has anything to do with it, stupid tankie.

                I would be saddened if a serious leftist called me a tankie, because that would mean I didn’t get my point across, but since you seem to be arguing from a right wing position I take it as a compliment.
