This is what these non GMO types always seem to forget
This is what these nauseating pro-GMO types always seem to forget - developing a food crop for thousands of years to become useful to humanity is not the same thing as destroying food security through capitalist monocropping with the aid of a few dodgy genes injected into something that never needed it in the first place.
That’s such a stupid statement I don’t even know how to respond. Like I’d probably need to recreate several years of basic education before we could even be in the framework to consider a proper answer to your question. But which point you’d realize what a stupid premise it is.
Let’s start here: why the hate for GMOs, when your problem is with capitalism?
The only reason we have GMO food crops in the first place is due to capitalist profiteering - nobody else has any need for it, genius. GMO food crops is a “solution” to a “problem” that never existed.
This has nothing to do with being a liberal. Scientists have said it’s more sustainable to use GMOs because genetic manipulation is just a tool you can use for good or evil. We have a larger population than ever before and an environmental crisis to deal with. We need every technological advantage we can get. This problem isn’t just about capitalism. Even if we get rid of capitalism and find we have enough food it’s always better to use less land and cause less environmental damage by using pest resistant crops and nutritional crops like golden rice. That’s assuming a revolution solves all food shortages despite the progress of climate change and pollution taking their toll on global food security.
Yes it does, liberal - you swallowing this liberalese hook, line and sinker has everything to do with your shitty liberal politics.
Scientists have said it’s more sustainable to use GMOs
Oh, really? And where is their evidence?
We have a larger population than ever before
So your shitty liberal politics have absolutely nothing to do with the right-wing histrionics you are regurgitating here? You do know that shills get paid for shilling, right? Are you getting yours?
it’s always better to use less land and cause less environmental damage
You mean that exact thing GMO foodcrops have abysmally failed at accomplishing so far?
So your shitty liberal politics have absolutely nothing to do with the right-wing histrionics you are regurgitating here? You do know that shills get paid for shilling, right? Are you getting yours?
You mean facts? It’s a fact that the population has been larger than ever and that’s happened largely over the last century. It’s still growing. I don’t expect that to last forever (check the demographic transition model), but I don’t expect it to shrink much either. Current agriculture and industry destroys the planet and had done since the industrial revolution. We need more than just politics to combat that. I know politics is obviously an important part of stopping the climate crisis and I won’t deny capitalisms role in slowing progress and causing issues to be ignored or exacerbated. Capitalism however didn’t invent the steam engine or monocropping.
Also I am not a liberal, you are jumping to insane conclusions. If you stop acting insane people might actually listen.
You mean that exact thing GMO foodcrops have abysmally failed at accomplishing so far?
As everyone here keeps saying a tool can be used for good or ill. Just like how computer technology is used for organising both left and right wing protests. Maybe try to understand what a tool is.
Have you tried doing a quick google search to find pro-Israeli and pro-genocide articles yet? Yeah… those have been bought and paid for, too.
Should I mention that your third “source” is literally a front group for Bayer? Should we take a closer look at your other two “sources,” liberal? Or would you rather I don’t?
You mean facts?
Here’s some facts for you, liberal - food production is easily adequate for the entire human population. See, liberal? This is what a fact looks like.
Also I am not a liberal,
If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. A liberal you are - your brand of brain-rot is pretty unmistakeable.
As everyone here keeps saying a tool can be used for good or ill.
You mean as all your fellow liberals on here keep saying? Gosh… I wonder why liberals would peddle pro-capitalist narratives by pretending that you can separate capitalist reality from liberal ideology?
Yes, while monocultures aren’t great, GMO crops just speed up the process you mentioned first. Developing a food crop over thousands of years. If we can speed up that process and generate better crops, why wouldn’t anyone want that?
The whole politics around GMOs and greedy companies is something I wish didn’t exist, but GMOs is the way to go.
GMO crops just speed up the process you mentioned first.
No. It doesn’t. It shits all over the process I mentioned first and then it gets called “progress” by techbros like you.
If we can speed up that process and generate better crops, why wouldn’t anyone want that?
Why would we want that when our food crops have already been developed for us over thousands of years before our food supply was hijacked by a class of profiteering parasites?
Are you listening to yourself?
but GMOs is the way to go.
No. It isn’t. Unless you’re a fan of everybody but the ultra-rich suffering famine - then it’s pretty much a ready-made recipe for you.
Yeah, companies like Monsanto can suck dicks, but it’s not the only one and even they make loads of advanced too. Blame the managers, not the biologists. Changes to tomato DNA makes it that they stay good much longer, those are the results of GMO, these are the things that people like you are trying to stop.
If the world is to survive the coming climate change disaster, we’ll NEED GMO more than anything but we can rest easy knowing that people like you will be on the line to stop that and make sure we’ll continue to go hungry.
You mean the people whose propaganda you are shilling here?
makes it that they stay good much longer,
Yeah… that’s what’s been holding our civilization back, genius - tomatoes that don’t act according to what your techbro sci-fi fantasies dictate they should.
If the world is to survive the coming climate change disaster, we’ll NEED GMO
Right, right… it just so happens (totally coincidentally) that we will (allegedly) “need” the (alleged) “solution” the very capitalists who caused the problem in the first place happens to be selling.
What else do you believe, liberal? That Musk will reserve a spot for you on his Mars colony?
No one is mentioning Musk. He can go fuck himself on Mars, he’s a pile of shit.
It’s a harsh reality that food may become hard to produce with the climate crisis. Obviously it’s large corporations to blame for that, but regardless of the blame, we may need to find new ways to farm depending on the climate.
I’d rather rely on science than “thousands of years of selective breeding” to achieve the same result.
He can go fuck himself on Mars, he’s a pile of shit.
Harsh words for a bunch of people who shares his ideology, methinks. You should’nt be. Either be nice to your idols - or critique him properly. You’re a scientist, right? Shouldn’t be too difficult for you.
Obviously it’s large corporations to blame for that,
Oh look… another “scientist” that completely fails to apply their “scientific mind” to political reality. Why is that a feature amongst scientists?
“thousands of years of selective breeding” to achieve the same result.
What kind of scientist doesn’t recognize the scientific process in action? That is… unless you believe that it’s only white people in lab coats who could possibly ever do “science.”
Yes, because we don’t already have the ability to do this, right? Our food crops is so “non-hearty” one has to wonder why we bothered with civilization at all.
Ah, yes… another “scientist” that wants to fix the climate crisis while completely ignoring the very thing that caused the climate crisis in the first place.

This has very little to do with GMOs.
You want to claim that capitalists are (somehow) not the only people that stands to benefit from GMOs?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
That’s such a stupid statement I don’t even know how to respond. Like I’d probably need to recreate several years of basic education before we could even be in the framework to consider a proper answer to your question. But which point you’d realize what a stupid premise it is.
Let’s start here: why the hate for GMOs, when your problem is with capitalism?
Good lord - I so hate dealing with liberals.
The only reason we have GMO food crops in the first place is due to capitalist profiteering - nobody else has any need for it, genius. GMO food crops is a “solution” to a “problem” that never existed.
Is this hard to understand, liberal?

It’s a complete mystery, I tell you!
You think people don’t need to eat food?
Do you mind being a bit more coherent, liberal?
Ah, so you’re just trolling. Got it.
Sooo… no coherence from you?
No surprises there.
Yeah, all scientists are evil, all corporations are evil, all people working there are evil, it’s all evil.
Oh look… the bootlicker brigade has shown up.

You literally make one argument: “nuh-uh!”
Maybe read into GMO, what it does?
Yeah, companies like Monsanto can suck dicks, but it’s not the only one and even they make loads of advanced too. Blame the managers, not the biologists. Changes to tomato DNA makes it that they stay good much longer, those are the results of GMO, these are the things that people like you are trying to stop.

Learn a little, become less extremist.

One gross overgeneralization after another. It’s clear that you are just regurgitating bullshit you heard from one “reliable” source.
I’m done replying, so kindly, fuck off.
So I guess that’s a no on the whole “apply their “scientific mind” to political reality” thing, eh, “scientist?”
I guess Bill Gates is not just the PR industry’s sugar daddy, is he?
I’m not into tech, but I am a scientist (chemistry, not biology) but I have a pretty good grasp on it.
If it can generate more hearty crops, it’s a net good for everyone.
Yes, because we don’t already have the ability to do this, right? Our food crops is so “non-hearty” one has to wonder why we bothered with civilization at all.
That’s an asinine take on everything. The only reason we need “more hearty” crops is the increase in population, and the climate crisis.
Also “food crops are” not is.
Ah, yes… another “scientist” that wants to fix the climate crisis while completely ignoring the very thing that caused the climate crisis in the first place.
How “scientific.”
