They have a point...

The bad guys also learn. They learn how to replicate shit while having a plauible deniability baked in to avoid any real consequences.

It's the cult that wholesale buys into these tactics that create a barrier for any progress or justice.

We're so fucked

It's hard watching the people around me make the same mistakes they always make and complain about the same mistakes they always make.

It's hard watching large organizations and states make the same mistakes they always make and blame everyone else for the mistakes they always make. Even when history proves them wrong.

I can never understand why people argue for 8+ billion people on this planet when we collectively refuse to learn from mistakes.

I'm tired...

Argue for? Sorry, trying to understand what you mean here before I jump to conclusions.
Population control is not a solution. There is no way in which that doesn't involve Nazi level eugenics shit given our current world powers. I don't think people ever really walk through the material steps to this in their head.
- before I jump to conclusions.
  Population control is not a solution.
  I didn't state anything about population control.
  I'm merely exhausted by the complexity that people must deal with for each person we add to this planet. That complexity would be far more manageable if humans didn't reproduce exponentially.
  Yes we can support support 8 billion people. But why? From my understanding we got here mainly because capitalism and war has a high demand for warm bodies.
  Maybe we can learn from our mistakes and deal with them rather than making excuses to remain on course for pain, suffering and disaster. Us humans learning and overcoming our current situation has the benefit for all life on this planet.
- This, we have the ability to support everyone anyway.
  People like solving problems with killing and death because they've been taught to do this, and it is such an easy cop out. Don't want to train you dog? Kill it. Problem solved. Don't want to trim your tree or pick up leaves in the fall? Kill it, chop it down, problem solved.
  This provides enough serotonin and dopamine when faced with issues, that it conditions people to use "kill it" as an easy solution for everything. Even if it isn't the solution they settle on, it is such a habit and so comforting neurochemically that they will make like reflexive quips to keep it as a fantasy option even. Too many people in their opinion? Kill em, feels great, problem solved, easy, never even had to think but I feel as satisfied as if I DID think
- All society needs to do is stop having babies for 20 years.....
- We should provide education on safe sex, and access to reproductive healthcare as basic human rights.
  THATSFUCKINGNAZISSHIT!

It's honestly agonizing.

Some of it is just natural aging and realizing fellow adults don't grow up intellectually with you. Like how can a 35yr old not know that Alaska isn't an island?

But then some of it is societal regression via memes and lack of pursuing further education.

So the 2 things together have me pretty pissed

Time is a mother fucker of a flat circle and it only has around 100 years on it.

You can tell it's about to start repeating itself when kids start getting called the names of your great-grandparents.
looks at climate graph
I WISH TIME WAS A 100 YEAR CIRCLE.

I never thought I would see anyone else say it, finally!

Problem with learning history is that if you have the bare minimum of morals and concept of fairness, USA ends up looking like the root cause for many current global problems. Look a bit further back, and UK and parts of Europe gets iffy.
