What are minimalist loser politics?
Take your pick:
- Everyone should live in small tightly packed apartments (bugman shit)
- Don’t eat meat
- Don’t have a car (15 minute cities)
- Eat bugs (it’s good for the environment!)
- Don’t have kids (it’s bad for the environment)
- If you have a car, make it a boring small one
- AC should be banned
All of these are loser politics that make mainstream people (aka normies) disgusted and unwilling to support leftist causes. And for good reason! Why should the working classes give up the little comfort and luxury they have, while the rich buy carbon credits to offset a transcontinental private jet trip to the ocean-side to board a mega-yacht orgy?
We have enough resources (especially when we do away with the capitalist class) to give everyone a nice house in a city that looks more like a forest because public and private transportation now happens underground. But people still have nice cars to ride out into the countryside or use on racetracks.
And so on. There are enough resources that everyone on the planet could have a lifestyle of a medium-developed Eastern European country like Czechia. And when the left starts using resources in a more rational way (no more profit motive) everything just gets nicer.
So why then do leftist pick these horrible restrictive policies?
If we switched to nuclear power, limited the use of cars (intercity transport only, intracity only public transport), and banned private jets and short haul flights, we’d offset carbon emissions enough to eat all the meat we want.
I will never stop eating meat. You will have to put me in a gulag to get me to stop. And I think I am not alone. I have a taste for flesh, many of us do.
absolutely insane person. that’s not fine. you’re not doing the right thing. i will stop interacting here since you’re toxic. you mentioned something about “god”. so go ahead read your bible. maybe there’s hope for you there.
