Bog standard misanthropy - but you can imagine than human beings are as malevolent as you like and it doesn't change the numbers. The richest 1% of humanity account for more carbon emissions than the bottom 75%. This is a methodological undercount, as it allows for carbon sharing in that we are employees, even though we're clearly not sharing in the wealth.
If you make less than 310k a year, you're part of the "over" in overpopulation even though you are not, in point of fact, plundering the earth.

I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

So you don't agree that people being dicks to each other is a problem?

What solution do you have in mind? Humans have always been dicks to each other, and that behavior is probably hard-wired.

Bringing back widespread tribal societies would be a good start.

And what’s to stop Oog from braining Futz because he want pretty rock?
You wouldn’t know a tribal society if it slapped your bum and called you Sally.

I would hope the other humans would punish Oog in such a manner that the whole tribe would be dissuaded from doing what Oog did.

So tribalism doesn't do away with dickishness. Go figure.

Punishment doesn’t deter crime. It never has. What makes you think it would do so in a tribal society?

Mom had three kids. The first was premature, born seven months after they got married. The third one was a make-up baby. Sis was proud of the fact that she was the first girl to graduate from our high school while pregnant. I don't know if that actually rates bragging rights.

Ofc I don’t agree with that ridiculous shit Ahri. People being nice to each other has a carbon cost too.
