The fact that the US failed to elect a man named McGovern to be their president is almost the most disappointing failing of the American electorate in history.
Fair points. As I said, I haven't listened to it since it released, so I can't remember exactly how it went. But there is a point that using "overpopulation" to deflect the conversation from other more important topics when it comes to climate change mitigation is an issue. The same thing a lot of people do with nuclear energy. That while there is truth to it, the intentions behind bringing it up is malicious. Not that that is the case in this thread at all.
It's been a long time since I've listened to this episode of the Climate Town podcast, but as far as I remember they give a very good overview of why "we're too many people for the planet" is climate misinformation.
How long do you think doctors get to learn about diseases. It doesn't seem farfetched for a newly graduated doctor to have only had a 1 hour lecture on a disease, probably split over multiple ones. Plus some self studying. So if they never encountered it in real life afterwards, it doesn't seem too wrong, does it?
I saw clips of this and thought to post it on Lemmy, but I don't wanna platform jubilee at all. But yeah it's fucking crazy how fucking normalized straight up fascism is in today's world.
Oh and raping E. Jean Carroll.
