The Counterplan

Con asserts that the better way to stop global warming is to non-radically reduce the human population.

Con asserts that rather than killing everyone fast, we must slowly manipulate the media and status quo to believe that there are actually 7+ billion people on the planet and that this is simply far too much. This will be a great non-radical way of ensuring that the places that are poor and ignorant of the brainwashing will keep reproducing fast, in order to stay impoverished and extract minerals, run farms and many other things for the evil Western Corporations. Meanwhile, those in those Western nations are being told to fuck less, pay more tax and that the world is coming to an end fast because NASA says so. I think this will be a much better way to non-radically reduce the human population with many added benefits too.

By doing it this way, you can randomly give it a facade of radicalism to appease the anarchic types. Perhaps a girl with autism who feels passionately about it, you could give her a mouthpiece and say anyone who in any shape or form is harsh on her or her views is bullying her for her autism. You can also do similar things with others, having everyone advocating for it etiher be a well-respected scientist that you'd be an ignorant fool to defy, or have most of the other advocates be female, homosexual or some other easy-to-play-victim category that you then can silence the opposition with for discriminating against. At times, you'll have a white, heterosexual well-off male advocating for global warming and ways to reduce it, in this scenario your fallback plan can be to associate anti-global-warming with far-right ideas, perhaps hire a goon to act like a madman on television with a channel like 'info battle' or 'bimbo wars' or maybe something mixing those two... When he's served his purpose, you can make him redundant by simply using the offensive and outrageous things you made him say to associate being anti-global warming with being an ignorant bigot... No one would be any the wiser, or those who would be, could easily be silenced as radicals.

The Checkmate Burden of Proof Endless Loop

The entire reason to seek global warming's reduction is to improve the world for the humans both in it and the future generations. To radically cull the species and leave behind either the executioners or people terrified and enslaved to them is doomed to not only ensure those who remain will brutally get revenge and fuck each other as much as possible to hyperpopulate and raise rebels to fight the agenda but in turn means that either it ends with a shit future for barely any future generation (if the radical eliminators win) or a brutal global-warming-catalysing series of events (if the radical anti-human-elimination side wins). It's also much less likely you ever will win, because the other side is having a lot of sex and refusing to kill each other off... You're going to be outnumbered in no time and it takes only a few sympathisers, which will be plentiful as you'll be killing many family and friends of your regime's staff, to coup from within.

If the end-goal of preventing global warming, in the first place, is to create at better, brighter future for our species, then you're securing that it defies the very purpose you're stopping it for when you do it in this way.

Radical reductions in population can be achieved by means other than genocide or compulsion  , i never said i wanted to extreminate or castrate anyone or even coerce anybody we can get the results we want by doing what Europe or Japan has done completely voluntarily https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2013/04/17/editorials/japans-depopulation-time-bomb/#.XZqK-udKh7M Japans population is shrinking fast no one is being gassed or surgically altered the Japanese have just stopped breeding.. and the rest of us can do the same , no ham no foul

So far, no proof that it's the best, only that it's an option.

  • favoring drastic political, economic, or social reforms:radical ideas; radical and anarchistic ideologues.
  • favoring, supporting, or representing extreme forms of religious fundamentalism:radical fundamentalists and their rejection of modern science.

I support non-radically manipulating the population of the world to produce less children and conform to whatever you tell them to do to stop global warming. It's working so far, exactly as planned.
