Everything has a consequence.
Please explain your views on how the planet can sustain a couple of billion extra people living a 1st world lifestyle.
Thanks.
It can't.
But, in spite of that, we ought to love & embrace our fellow humans. Everyone, without exception, deserves good housing, sound nutrition, basic & fundamental healthcare, a college education (if they wish it), full & gainful employment and a stable political & social environment.

Sure, lifitng people out of poverty would be great for them, but what about the planet? Not sure it would appreciate even more consumerism, extra need for resources and potential population boom / ageing populations.
Yes, and it would also help with climate change as it would be redistributing wealth from the most polluting to the least, and also ensuring that this lesser amount of pollution is going to a useful purpose instead of being used on pure waste.

I'm thinking it's about time to come down out of the mountains and hit the gulf stream before the fish stop running.

Any rational thinking person is going to consider all this trans/lgbt/sjw stuff as being nothing more than a societal nuisance, because really, that's all it is. But why does that stuff even exist? What purpose does it serve and why is it being allowed to exist? You would think it's serving some kind of political or government agenda, right? But how could it be, given how fucking stupid it is? Nothing about this makes sense at all.

What trans/lgbt/sjw stuff, specifically?
Also, you do realize that SJWs and the gay community are separate issues, right?

People's lives are only relevant in relation to my own life. I am the most important living thing in the universe.

So, I’ve mentioned before that I like watching true crime videos, especially the ones that focus on interrogations (a la Jim Can’t Swim), and one thing I’ve found particularly unsettling about how the cops do things In these videos (specifically the ones from the US and Canada) is how the cops can tell almost any kind of lies to perps to get them to confess (the one exception is they can’t lie about the penalties related to confessing). So, If a cop were to argue that, say, the Birds Aren’t Real idiots are right, and that they’re just drones sent out by the government to spy on people, and that a pigeon managed to film the entire crime in question, a confession from a perp who fell for that, would likely still be admissible in court. Jennifer Pan wound up confessing after the cops spun a tale that’s only a little more plausible.
Explore With Us released a video on Susan Monica, and it’s probably the first time in any of these videos I’ve seen a perp actually point this out.
The woman is so unhinged that she literally shits her pants late in the game apparently just because, but somehow, she’s the first one of these criminals to point out “hey, why should I trust anything you say, since you can legally just talk bullshit if it can potentially aid in a confession.”
