I wonder if this fire season will slow down the insane immigration to BC. I mean I am certainly starting to wonder if it's a good idea to settle down here at all.
The xenophobic comment was the 4th one down.
We should be better Canadians.
How was that xenophobic??
I was more referring to other Canadians relocating to BC en masse
It's like some of you people are brainwashed that "immigration" is an unspeakable word
Immigration isn't only for an international context but can also be used for people that immigrate from one city to another. One can be xenophobic if one dislikes the idea of people moving where they live (be that for prejudice of other's culturies or for a belief that their home city will be worse due to immigration). People will always move where they please and using that as argument is just tiring. We need ways to regulate housing and stop people from profiting over it.
Why would you encourage people to move somewhere that is constantly on fire or flooding?
So those are things that happen in all of BC? Guess I am just lucky then.
All towns in BC have quite high wildfire risk pretty much. Aside from those in fog zone
All I know is that despite all evidence that our world is increasingly turning into an inferno, that humans are still pro-human and will continue to want more humans. I guess we're just going to have to reap the predictable consequences of our obsession with overpopulating ourselves.
Hold up friend, you're really close on stepping on really dangerous ground (fascism).
No, I don't think depopulating the Earth is a fascist concept. I think murdering specific groups of people is fascist. I'm just talking about the unsustainability of the human plague.
I am honestly in good faith attempting to argue that this way of thought is a slippery slope for other things that don't necessarily include murdering specific groups of people and can still be considered fascist. For example, which solutions would you suggest?
To be clear, I am not saying I disagree with you in the regard that in our current society more people means more pollution and a higher rate of environmental destruction. Your wording just seems off.
I'm not sure what a solution is but I do think that we should encourage people to not have children, stop handing out the baby bonus, and reduce immigration. I feel these moves can provide a (non-genocidal) way to relieving the pressures of human overpopulation. For example, Japan is doing great work in reducing their population, a trend that will reduce the strain of housing and services in that country.
If you check fertility rates you will see that people aren't willing to have children like they used to do. And it doesn't seem that Japan is seeing their population decreasing as a good thing.
Only the capitalists care
