its actually very easy, just do a global one child policy and invest whatever rich countries save on raising half a generation(plus some extra for colonial reparations) on education, infrastructure and welfare in poor countries and aim for 4 billion or whatever

Wait for a minute while I figure out some specious argument for this being fascist eugenics or whatever

preemptively; You enact the policy on wealthy countries first and only implement it in poorer countries as welfare states take hold and their standard of living approach the wealthy

less welfare maybe? I don't know I think it'd have to be discussed and managed in it's cultural context. Definitely not "no welfare" but incentives being taken away isn't the same as tyrannical fascism

If he was in fact killed and not smuggled out by Barr & co. my preferred answer would of course be Nicholas Tartaglione, his roided-up murdercop cellmate. While performing the function of a fixer it is difficult for me to say if he was on the take for this particular act, if it did go down that way

U.S. prosecutors decided to end their criminal case against two Manhattan jail guards who admitted to falsifying records on the night the financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself on their watch.

In a Thursday filing in Manhattan federal court, prosecutors asked a judge to dismiss claims against Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, after both complied with the six-month deferred prosecution agreements they agreed to in May.

"Okay, I think I’m getting the hang of this. I’m gonna say, Epstein was killed by a corrupt justice system that threatens us all!"

"Oh, I’m sorry, but that was a trick question. The answer is that Epstein is still alive."

"Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. He’s down in Cuba at the Illuminati Hotel. That’s where he at."

actual decisions were made by the class in power, first to use fossil fuels at all in the industrial revolution (Malm), and then to build the world economy around oil specifically after WW2. then we had decades of coverups up about the impacts of those fossil fuels. saying "humanity is the virus" erases the politics and the need to challenge the capitalist class responsible for the problems.

moving the dilemma back to the "decision" to develop agriculture also obscures the real decisions taken in recent centuries around fossil fuels, and moves the whole issue into an almost religious realm. the discussion becomes about original sin and the exile from the Garden of Eden rather than Exxon's profits or US imperialism.

He had dirt on a lot of powerful people. There's no shortage of suspects who could have killed him to keep those secrets.

Similarly there's a lot of powerful people might have helped him escape to a new life for the same reason.

Ashton Kutcher resigns from anti-child sex abuse organization after backlash over Danny Masterson letter

quote:

Ashton Kutcher has resigned from his role as board chairman of Thorn, a nonprofit he co-founded over a decade ago to combat child sexual exploitation, the actor announced Friday.

The decision to step down was "rooted in the recognition of recent events," the organization said in a statement, referencing the backlash against Kutcher and his wife, Mila Kunis, after they wrote letters in support of convicted rapist Danny Masterson.

"After my wife and I spent several days of listening, personal reflection, learning, and conversations with survivors and the employees and leadership at Thorn, I have determined the responsible thing for me to do is resign as Chairman of the Board, effectively immediately," Kutcher said in a statement.

"I cannot allow my error in judgment to distract from our efforts and the children we serve," he continued.

Kutcher and Kunis came under fire over letters they submitted to a Los Angeles court describing Masterson as a "dedicated and loyal" husband, an "excellent" role model," and an "outstanding older brother figure" ahead of a judge sentencing him to 30 years to life in prison for sexually assaulting two women.

The couple, who starred on "That '70s Show" with Masterson, said they wrote the letters after Masterson’s family asked them to characterize "the person that we knew for 25 years so that the judge could take that into full consideration relative to the sentencing."

Kathy Griffin and Christina Ricci quickly denounced them for supporting Masterson.

"I don’t really care that when they were working on 'That ’70s Show' he was, like, a good guy to work with and he worked actively to keep people off drugs because he’s a Scientologist," Griffin said, recalling how she repeatedly tried to have her brother Ken Griffin, whom she accused of being a pedophile, arrested.

"Blood was not thicker than water in my case," Griffin said in a video posted to her TikTok and Instagram accounts. "If you know that somebody is committing [sexual assault] you should do something, if you can."

Kutcher said Friday that he realizes his character letter was "another painful instance of questioning victims who are brave enough to share their experiences."

"This is precisely what we have all worked to reverse over the last decade," he said in his statement. "The mission must always be the priority and I want to offer my heartfelt apology to all victims of sexual violence and everyone at Thorn who I hurt by what I did."

He also offered an apology to the advocacy community, writing that he would continue to support Thorn's work.

i'm listening to a podcast and the speaker is talking about his theory of the "iconosphere" in the mass media age, and how certain sorts of people with certain brain problems (narcissists) get funneled into this pathway where they end up as mass murderers or cult leaders, because of how much ambient attention and focus on the self that exists now
