Wtf does "population collapse" even mean? I heard the population was 8 billion and before that the only count i knew about was 4 billion. So in my mind the population is doing fine, unless to him, its a certain type of population, one thats not so.... brown and poor.

"Population collapse" matters only if you're a capitalist in need of ever-cheaper labor, because you believe in line only going up / unbound growth. .. and what you said.

He means a population collapse that can be explained in about 14 words.

It's that combined with an inability to understand that something trending a certain way won't keep going that way forever. Like, Musk heard that population growth in some countries was negative and deduced that in a few decades there will be no more humans because we'll eventually run out of people! Or, from his point of view, we'll run out of white people which is all that matters

It's really only a concern if you're a racist society, like Japan, and get squicked out at the thought of foreigners filling necessary niches in your economy.

If you hear a white South African talking about "population collapse" you need to be thinking "White genocide conspiracy theory" or " great replacement theory." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_genocide_conspiracy_theory

Well that's a whole pile of comments I probably shouldn't have read because jesus wept there's some morons on twitter. Is it really so difficult to conceive of people not wanting to gently caress? I don't want to gently caress 99% of people I encounter, 100% is not a big leap. Do these people just only experience interpersonal relationships via the medium of wanting to gently caress?

Regarding the right-wing meth subreddit, I just want to say, I grew up in a meth den and 100% of the meth heads my parents sold to were the most right-wing fascist people I've ever met in my life. I've always associated meth with right-wingers, just not the right-wingers who have money.

This is spot on except the poor methheads can't afford meth anymore in my area so now it's only the rich right wingers and five black communists that are willing to smoke that poo poo. There were a lot of leftist methheads here but we all got sober enough to switch to growing megaweed and stopped there.

Said it before but I also have met a Nice South African. They exist, I gather most of them are expats though. I mean poo poo, I'd leave Canada too if I had the money and secure job to land in like, NZ. So we've got a couple goons, Charlize Theron, Sharlto Copley and Neil Blomkamp (are we sure about them though?)... I'll add Orville Peck to the list as he's sweet and a really good artist. Conversely, I wouldn't mind to see Die Antwoord bumped up to the front of the line.

Never knew that Orvillle was South African, or that he used to be a drummer in one of my fave punk/grunge bands of the last 10 years. Die Antwoord you can leave (imo). Besides the idea of appropriating certain cultures, which sure, they are kind of toxic in their own unique ways, which is a shame because Watkin Jones' band before Die Antwoord was pretty solid.

 Remember that clip of a noted sexcreep exposing himself and getting booted from a show's livestream? Well in a new article one of the people on stream says you didn't actually see that. Naturally weirdos online have things to say too! What I love about this is there's totally an army of sad people constantly name searching Vic or just things they find relevant to him and rush to defend his honor. I have friends who were victims of his, and anything public that mentions him or sometimes even just a con he's not invited to and their own careers will get a rando accusing them of being lying sluts

Yep, Peck is Afrikaans although I think he's lived here in Canada for years. You'd never know it with the voice he puts on, and I've never met him (seen him around though) but one of his brothers, who I have met, does have a thick Afrikaans accent. In case it wasn't clear, I can't stand Die Antwoord either; after the grooming allegations I've dropped them entirely. I only really dug a couple songs from their first album.

My dad was into meth and crack for decades, he now takes part in the convoy protests and posts relentless amounts of Q and Infowars garbage on facebook  I have no clue how he's managed to stay alive this long. It baffles me more than anything. I cut him off when I was 17, but I check his profile to find out if he's dead yet because he keeps trying to track me down and I want to know when I can finally relax. Every time I see new posts I'm disappointed.

Dude was virulently racist back in his South African days (though repented), was physically abusive to his wife and famously slept naked with teenage relatives to prove he had the willpower not to molest them (and never repented for those). Absolutely an important man and someone who did real good in the world, but incredibly flawed.
