The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a “doom loop” for the world’s poorest people, as staple food prices soar.

    For real? (serious) a nuclear war might be beneficial because mostly citys of big polluters will be taken out, starvation always hits those that already basically don’t pollute. So that argument would make 0 sense regardless…

    And i don’t think a nuclear war is exactly what we want… There are better ways than to suicide on species level…

    Edit to clarify that im not in favor of nuclear war…

      It’s called Malthusianism (after the philosopher Malthus) and, yes, it is a real philosophy.

          Sort of. Malthusians believe that disasters which take out large numbers of people help to keep the population in check and are therefore necessary. Obviously a little oversimplified, but that’s about what it boils down to.

            Sounds somewhat reasonable and nuts at the same time.

            Like some sad people that lost people in a Desaster saying it was for the greater good when in reality its ultimately meaningless.

              It’s not an illogical stance; it’s just one that requires you to become less empathetic.
