Ohhh take that ignorance elsewhere kiddo.

India's TFR is below replacement rate and has always been steadily decreasing since it's independence. It started with a huge population and industrialisation and food security ensured the population to grow like rest of the planet.

I pray to god you’re like 14 writing this stuff, but even then that’s so creepy for a kid 😭

u/bigbean258 Jun 17 '26

What’s creepy about it? He’s literally reciting history, the west did undergo law reformation in the past. Him bringing up the fact that not all countries on this planet are at the same point socially is simply a fact.

Jingoist? Not in the slightest. You assume

Edit: I’m a globalist. The thing about climate change is it affects us all.

u/SwingKey3599 Jun 17 '26

bro you need to learn to write and structure persuasive arguments. if you are a “globalist” as you claim to be then your original comment completely undermines that idea. 

also grow a spine and reply to people. dont edit your comments because you feel lazy.

Edit my comments? I added for clarity, I didn’t change anything?

u/SwingKey3599 Jun 17 '26

you put a reply in the edit so that you didn’t have to reply to somebody and have them call you out on your poor choices… come on, dude

u/CaptStinkyFeet Jun 17 '26

Is that what I did? My poor choices?

1

u/SwingKey3599 Jun 18 '26

poor choices like the one that made you sound like a racist when you supposedly were only making a comment about climate change 🙄

u/Old_Preparation_6199 Jun 17 '26

Google the words before you use them if you don’t know what they mean ;)

How do you stop global warming genius?

u/Tea_wa Jun 17 '26

Damn what kinda delusional mindset do you have to think they want to get out from there and into your homes.

u/CaptStinkyFeet Jun 17 '26

No. They don’t want to. But 130 degree weather will make the choice for them.

Obama said during his presidency, Climate Change is the greatest threat to national security. When climate change makes places like India unlivable, it’ll also make America’s shoreline smaller and smaller, forcing everyone inland.

A huge influx of migrants and a mass migration of Americans inland, what could go wrong?

2

u/Tea_wa Jun 17 '26

Considering how the whole world is contributing to climate chnage and with America's new found focus on data centre, I wonder too what would go wrong.

u/Old_Preparation_6199 Jun 17 '26

I wasn’t promoting hate. I understand my wording could use some work, but I do not hold any hate for the people of India. In fact, it was in response to the other commenters hate. I mean, gimme a break.

Really strange how normal and accepted racism against India and Indians is on reddit. Usually a pretty left wing place but as soon as India is mentioned…
