Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Has been known for years, has also been ignored for years. Infinite growth is much more important than sustainability.
capitalism 🤢
...any economic system that does not take externalised costs into account. This is not unique to capitalism.
Yes. The keyword for learning more about this is “externalities”.
You just gotta internalize the externalities. Carbon tax would probably do it. Not that it's simple to actually do, but still.
It’s not just economic systems. There is nothing in existence that stays the same without growing, or dying.
wrang.
Capitalism even has the best mechanisms for addressing externalities. We just are not using them because they're politically unpopular.
That’s the big bad problem.
I mean, it's not being ignored. There's electric vehicles, charging stations all around, subsidies for solar panels on houses, green branded products, banning of certain harmful things, the list goes on. Maybe you think it's not enough, but it's pretty out there to call that ignoring.
are you suggesting we need to curb the birth rate?
No.
Infinite growth and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. There will always be market growth over time.
