It's ethical i would say, since humans are an invasive species
Jokes like this make me uncomfortable :( there's legit eco fash positions like this. Invasive species rhetoric is bad applied to all species imho, because killing children for some sort of inherited sin seems unreasonable to me.
I appreciate you calling out this kind of stuff. It seems like in this instance, OP was just joking, but I'm deeply nervous at how many people are genuinely believing and propagating eco-fascist rhetoric nowadays.
i forgot people actually think like this ๐
We do have to ask if Malthusians are really people...
You have to be equal opportunity about it. If you start saying this kind but not that kind then it's just racism ingrouo outgroup bullshit.
