Malthus is outright stated as one of the main reasons the Irish Famine happened and why later on there was a backlash against the theory of evolution decades later. I do wonder if goons honestly think the general public is less cultured than they think and that can be sort of a trap. People aren't necessarily cruel, and to add to that they're not also not necessarily that ignorant. Kunster has issued a correction as of 11:27 on Mar 11, 2021 |

"the population bomb" and neo-malthusian concerns about overpopulation were a big deal in the 70s/80s - trying to argue that this is a Twitter thing is pretty dumb imo

Stitcher was my podcast app of choice for awhile. Then they started running ads for that mobile game that paid Ahnold to be in it--the ads start with the sound of a helicopter. I immediately deleted it.Ytlaya posted:Part of it, I think, is a result of "being a leftist on the internet/twitter." You become trained to frame all the things you say with the knowledge that "liberals might criticize me" and to preemptively address this criticisms. sleeptalker posted:From an actual leftist perspective, anti-fascism has to be understood as having a very limited horizon of possibility, in that it's never going to totally overcome fascism and all it can really do is suppress some of the most brutal aspects. This can still be a good and necessary thing, but people who make it the cornerstone of their politics are generally deluded, as you say, about the dynamics of the existing "mainstream" and its hand in creating fascism.

Pretty sure it was a biology class but maybe a history class Kunster posted:Malthus is outright stated as one of the main reasons the Irish Famine happened and why later on there was a backlash against the theory of evolution decades later. It's really the classic situation where people don't talk about or converse about this kind of poo poo at work or the bar or the kid's little league game or wherever people get their socialization in non-covid times, so it's easy to develop a sense that you're more educated/knowledgeable than other people and also probably easy to assume that people know all the same poo poo you think is basic

malthus got enough right to be remembered forever but is just problematic enough for anything related to him to be cancelled/condemned in the current oeuvre every argument about him is the same saying that white people in the first world overconsume relative to their population = calling for complete genocide of the global south, if you’re one of these real smart podcast thread posters

It's very important never to use Stitcher or Spotify, or pay for Chapo, or you'll find yourself in a future where podcasts are monetized like TV shows. While I'm talking about this, proprietary radio shows don't meet the definition of podcast, and calling them that makes it sound like they're equivalent when podcasts are actually strictly better. https://daringfireball.net/2019/04/not_all_shows_are_podcasts

Xaris posted:correct. "malthusian" is one of those idiot dumb poo poo extremely onliner-ism term that someone on twitter or breadtuber or goon lib once said, that no one had ever heard of before, and then suddenly slamming it non-stop onto the table like pogs are back in style because they read the wiki summary and wanted to seem smart. i'm pretty sure all the extremely online people who spam those terms to death are doing domestic gladio if not another cointelpro, op
