So you know how the answer to the world's problems is usually "eat the rich"?
And so many false solutions are just trying their best to deflect from that simple conclusion?

Exhibit A is an obsession with population, when economic activity is the larger driver. 1/

Exhibit B is an obsession with growth as a way out of poverty, when redistribution would be so much faster and more effective.

Exhibit C is a desperate hope in technology, when what we really need is for rich people to stop playing with their carbon-intensive toys. 3/

Exhibit D is a focus on blaming consumers, rather than those who profit from ever growing production.

And I just realized Exhibit E is blaming migration for "adding to an unsustainable burden," rather than pointing to the mega land owners who truly prevent ecological regen. 4/

If someone says that migrants from Europe or the Middle East or Latin America or wherever are "adding to our environmental burden" or taking us past biocapacity or whatever, have they previously spent all their time trying to dispossess the landed aristocracy? 5/

Because if the answer to that is no, it's not *really* about the environment. It's about not liking foreigners.
End/
PS: bon appetit.
