    It doesn’t, but we’re all humans and if some of us wreck another person’s country it feels unjust to leave that person stateless.

    There might be a basic misunderstanding here… at the rate climate change is going some areas of the earth that are currently inhabitable are becoming uninhabitable. There are farms being swallowed up by desert and the people who were fed by that farm have no where to go.

      Do you know what the word sustainability means, though?

      Or are you just piling us all into one stereotype and now I have to starve along with everyone else while the rich that caused the problem are the only ones that can afford to live?

      This is xmunk’s secret plan for cleansing migrants and low socioeconomic majorities off the planet. Put them all in areas that can’t logistically support them until only those that could afford to survive remain. The same that ruined the climate.

        Yup, I’m an evil villain. In actuality I just don’t believe in borders or nationalities - being born into a western country is an extreme advantage and it’s a matter of fucking chance. I dislike discriminating based on country of origin and I think we should strive to ensure everyone gets as equitable a chance at success as we can.

        Also, our climate isn’t under pressure because we’re at the population limit for earth - climate change is happening because of greed. In theory we can fucking fix it if we work together.

      There are people who live in the artic and those who live in deserts. People even farm in the desert. It might not be great, but itll be more than inhabitable.

        You do know that not very many people live in those places, right? It wouldn’t be sustainable. India has over a billion people and the Himalayan glaciers they depend on for water are not getting replenished.

          And moving them here doesnt fix the sustainability problem either. It just moves sustainability problems here.

            I’m pretty sure moving from a place that has no water to a place that has water does, in fact, fix the problem. Maybe you would prefer them to just die?

                If there isn’t, enjoy dying of thirst.

                But generally, places that don’t rely on glaciers for their water do better than places that do in a warming world.
