This is what these non GMO types always seem to forget
This is what these nauseating pro-GMO types always seem to forget - developing a food crop for thousands of years to become useful to humanity is not the same thing as destroying food security through capitalist monocropping with the aid of a few dodgy genes injected into something that never needed it in the first place.
That’s such a stupid statement I don’t even know how to respond. Like I’d probably need to recreate several years of basic education before we could even be in the framework to consider a proper answer to your question. But which point you’d realize what a stupid premise it is.
Let’s start here: why the hate for GMOs, when your problem is with capitalism?
The only reason we have GMO food crops in the first place is due to capitalist profiteering - nobody else has any need for it, genius. GMO food crops is a “solution” to a “problem” that never existed.
This has nothing to do with being a liberal. Scientists have said it’s more sustainable to use GMOs because genetic manipulation is just a tool you can use for good or evil. We have a larger population than ever before and an environmental crisis to deal with. We need every technological advantage we can get. This problem isn’t just about capitalism. Even if we get rid of capitalism and find we have enough food it’s always better to use less land and cause less environmental damage by using pest resistant crops and nutritional crops like golden rice. That’s assuming a revolution solves all food shortages despite the progress of climate change and pollution taking their toll on global food security.
Yes it does, liberal - you swallowing this liberalese hook, line and sinker has everything to do with your shitty liberal politics.

Oh, really? And where is their evidence?
We have a larger population than ever before
So your shitty liberal politics have absolutely nothing to do with the right-wing histrionics you are regurgitating here? You do know that shills get paid for shilling, right? Are you getting yours?

You mean that exact thing GMO foodcrops have abysmally failed at accomplishing so far?

You mean facts? It’s a fact that the population has been larger than ever and that’s happened largely over the last century. It’s still growing. I don’t expect that to last forever (check the demographic transition model), but I don’t expect it to shrink much either. Current agriculture and industry destroys the planet and had done since the industrial revolution. We need more than just politics to combat that. I know politics is obviously an important part of stopping the climate crisis and I won’t deny capitalisms role in slowing progress and causing issues to be ignored or exacerbated. Capitalism however didn’t invent the steam engine or monocropping.
Also I am not a liberal, you are jumping to insane conclusions. If you stop acting insane people might actually listen.

As everyone here keeps saying a tool can be used for good or ill. Just like how computer technology is used for organising both left and right wing protests. Maybe try to understand what a tool is.
Have you tried doing a quick google search to find pro-Israeli and pro-genocide articles yet? Yeah… those have been bought and paid for, too.
Should I mention that your third “source” is literally a front group for Bayer? Should we take a closer look at your other two “sources,” liberal? Or would you rather I don’t?
You mean facts?
Here’s some facts for you, liberal - food production is easily adequate for the entire human population. See, liberal? This is what a fact looks like.
Also I am not a liberal,
If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. A liberal you are - your brand of brain-rot is pretty unmistakeable.
As everyone here keeps saying a tool can be used for good or ill.
You mean as all your fellow liberals on here keep saying? Gosh… I wonder why liberals would peddle pro-capitalist narratives by pretending that you can separate capitalist reality from liberal ideology?
Yes, while monocultures aren’t great, GMO crops just speed up the process you mentioned first. Developing a food crop over thousands of years. If we can speed up that process and generate better crops, why wouldn’t anyone want that?
The whole politics around GMOs and greedy companies is something I wish didn’t exist, but GMOs is the way to go.

This has very little to do with GMOs.
You want to claim that capitalists are (somehow) not the only people that stands to benefit from GMOs?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
That’s such a stupid statement I don’t even know how to respond. Like I’d probably need to recreate several years of basic education before we could even be in the framework to consider a proper answer to your question. But which point you’d realize what a stupid premise it is.

Good lord - I so hate dealing with liberals.
The only reason we have GMO food crops in the first place is due to capitalist profiteering - nobody else has any need for it, genius. GMO food crops is a “solution” to a “problem” that never existed.
Is this hard to understand, liberal?

It’s a complete mystery, I tell you!
Yeah, all scientists are evil, all corporations are evil, all people working there are evil, it’s all evil.
Oh look… the bootlicker brigade has shown up.
