The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a “doom loop” for the world’s poorest people, as staple food prices soar.

    It’s culling the wrong demographic. Removing poor people is the least efficient. Removing the poorest will have the least effect possible.

    These comments always make me wonder wether it’s a lack of education, bad taste or racism.

      Can people like you maybe read a little further down the thread, like i literally explained in detail why that comment is completely ridiculous and i don’t understand how someone could take it as a serious comment.

      Its literally a joke.

        Yes, I read it before. No, it didn’t change much. Where’s the joke, what’s funny about this?

        On the other hand, too many people write these comments seriously, which is enough reason to counter them.

        It’s downplaying the climate crisis and normalizing racism. You can insist it was done in a lighthearted way, but that’s not so relevant.
