Was OffGuardian always unsufferably contrarian? Their shtick as of late seems to be to snide and dismiss every alternate claim.
Who tells them that -(-establishment) = establishment?
Too bad, another initially decent looking site goes down the drain.

Today I have read 2 posts and writings attempting to dismiss the problem of overpopulation by authors who should knew better.
An arguments boils down to the absence of "serious" (academic) studies and suggestions to handle the problem of a bigger proportion of elderly unable to work.

Noble evil idea:
Start promoting heavily studies that show how microplastics decrease male fertility and how they are tied with declining birth rates and ESPECIALLY inability to keep the pension system going and the housing and stock market always going up.
Immediate ban on plastic from all parties!

Geoffrey Hinton says there is 10% to 20% chance AI will lead to human extinction in three decades, as change moves fast

"nobody with money or power in India wanted to reform [..] They would rather ride the system into oblivion than attempt any serious reformation."

It's my suspicion that the more the children, the more narcissistic and sociopathic the parents likely are.

While I wait for a store which sales bulk liquids like food oil and drinks, I think I'll choose plastic over glass.
Glass can be recycled and reused just like corrupt politicians can be prosecuted and imprisoned (never ever).
Microglasses seem even worse than microplastics.

I've been getting a bunch of posts related to pensions and their incoming crisis. No a single tear will be shed for the fall of a major Ponzi scheme, but what I fear, rather than the Population Collapse™ is the Voting Booth System Collapse, that is, an elderly majority oppressing a young minority.

Deleted the link. Though the message is quite important, the "author" Michael W. Green declared in the comments that he uses AI in "his" writing, so there's no way to tell if anything of it is his thinking.
Declaring a stance against the financial rot is meaningless if employing its very tools.

Is there any food safety org calling for a full retrieval of plastics in food processing?
I'd say the HACCP and ISO 22000 types are dead weight or crabs in a barrel. They engage in performative charades like E coli O157:H7 for which they can charge rather than actions that might annoy industries.

This is why I think China isn't any more benevolent but the same evil with more focus and longer term orientation.
Not only China can decline to pursue this line of industrialization, they could ensure nobody else does with the control they have on world supply. But they cheerfully go ahead instead.
