    I am aware we have the food to feed everyone. Why are you ignoring all the damage to the environment that making all that food causes? You’re also informing the fact that climate change will make it much harder to produce and distribute good. Distribution is already a problem today.

    Let’s say what you have said is true and that GMOs are worthless. What are you going to do about the environmental impact of food production instead? Surely you have some master plan?

    Calling someone a liberal isn’t going to help your cause. What exactly have I said that makes you think this? Making accusations without having anything to back them up is just going to turn people against you and whatever ideology you support. Is this why leftists always fight? Because they are too busy calling the other side liberals? What ideology is it you support anyway?

      I’m not the one ignoring it, genius. You are the one peddling the techno-fetishist idea that you can simply handwave all these problems away with capitalist-approved techno-fixes that is designed from the ground up to preserve the destructive status quo they created in the first bloody place.

      Distribution is already a problem today.

      No, liberal - the ability to cause targeted famine amongst people is not a “problem” in a capitalist society. It is a feature. What do you think comes first for a capitalist - the actual, real-world value of a crate of corn, or it’s market price?

      Spoiler alert - it’s not the former.

      Surely you have some master plan?

      I guess it’s true what they say - a liberal will rather imagine the end of the world than imagine the end of capitalism. So much for liberal “rationality,” eh?

      Why? Do you not like being reminded that the liberal ideology you are beholden to is actually an ideology? It is not “rational.” It is not “normal.” It is not “common sense.” It is an ideology designed to protect a status quo that has brought us to the precipice of environmental disaster that it has no intention of saving you from.
