Sure, we don't have enough space on the planet to farm, even though we do it currently and waste 19% of all food. Communities can farm together and share things. Not every way forward is Mad Max.
Its sad that people can't even fathom a world where people aren't fighting each other to be on top and just want to fight and murder to control all the data centres.
Lol. We can sustain and oversupply right now BECAUSE people do their jobs. This becomes absolutely impossible if people just stopped. Do you even have the slightest idea how many people have to do their job in order to build the simplest of machinery needed for modern farming?
Who is building the machines and equipment needed for that? Ok, just for fun - let's imagine someone still does that in your world without jobs, why would they just give it to you or someone else? In exchange for some bones and pretty stones you've found in your backyard? What can you possibly provide that's worth even a fucking tractor? This is so delusional I have really no words for it.
If you think it's so easy and great then go get your like-minded buddies and just do it. What's stopping you? Nobody will care if you play somewhere out in the wilderness.
But the funny thing is, I did explain. You just chose to hand wave away people being in control of their own labour and provided staunch defense of the status quo and that we couldn't possibly feed ourselves without continuing to enslave people to feed all of us.
Therefore I have positioned you as the angry faced meme in this scenario.
Sure buddy, I believe in a heartbeat that you think you've actually explained a thing. And damn, you've positioned me as the angry faced meme. Really sucks for me, boy oh boy.
