  • The guy didn’t say or post much directly about it. Sometimes people do crazy shit for very little reason. You couple that with the ability to get guns easily, mass quantities of ammo, and bump stocks, you have yourself a bloody stew.

    People love patterns, but sometimes there just isn’t one. There is no single profile for a mass shooter. The closest you get is male and either 15-24 or 35-44.

    Most people shoot others for grievances and having a shitty life. Sometimes not though. Many shooters don’t even take their own life. Plenty of them are still on the run.

    The easiest answer is that the vast majority of how our society runs is through the fear or threat of death. The moment someone starts wanting it, they’re capable of nearly anything.

    Most people see the greener pasture of nothingness between the loop of a noose at home. Some decide to kill and maim before they go out.

    Unfortunately because of the 2nd amendment, it lets people rampage easily with high body counts before dying

    Nuclear is zero-emission clean energy mate… I love how you’re all just wrong, constantly, but goalposts shift again and again while you just ignore my already placed sources that cover everything you’re all talking about.

    Be a concern troll, be a propagandist, do you mate, it’s Lemmy lmfao. Either way, to all the doomers out there, it’s bullshit.

    The vast majority of humanity will keep going down the right path, despite apocalypticists heralding the end of civilization every year since Jesus was doing it. Avoiding the worst of 4 degrees of warming has already been mitigated and we’re on a trend to keep it going lower and lower, because people DO care about our futures, because we’re those people lmfao.

    Climate change being real doesn’t mean having to be a jaded cynic.

    People are waaaaaaaay less needed than you think mate.

    Almost every manufacturing job can be done with automation. Most other jobs comes from service industry, healthcare, education… The population stablizing on it’s own is already great, but to maintain a functional advancing civilization doesn’t require the 10.4 billion people our population is expected to stop at in 2100.

    Regardless, it’s less about getting people to not have kids so there’s less poors. It’s more about a cruel joke where the rich have tricked the poor into thinking they can’t have kids then they self defeat themselves. Meanwhile they get to keep having them and it’s the laughingrichpeople.jpg . The poor are always going to outnumber them just from a numbers game. It’s more about how funny they’d think it that the people who benefit the most from a civilization, the smartest of the lower class, aren’t having children causing them to ‘breed themselves out of existence.’

    Do any of you cite or do you just enjoy clinging to doomer YouTube videos with sketchy sources and a reach so far they may as well be Mr. Fantastic? Propaganda hitting y’all hard.

    Most first world nations are far above 5%. I see some 10-20 year old data that suggests around 5… we are well above that in the USA, let alone the world.

    Renewable energy generates over 20% of all U.S. electricity , and that percentage continues to grow. The following graphic breaks down the shares of total electricity production in 2022 among the types of renewable power: In 2022, annual U.S. renewable energy generation surpassed coal for the first time in history.

    In 2022, 38% of the world’s electricity was delivered by carbon-free generation sources (nuclear, hydropower, and combined renewables), similar to 2021. The global electricity system is still mostly powered by fossil energy, but it is undergoing an increasingly rapid rate of change.
