>The Avengers are guilty of putting the grief of survivors above the health of our world. From the planet’s point of view, it’s the superheroes who are the bad guys. Reversing Thanos’ actions is a selfish endeavor that reflects the fact we humans put ourselves at the center of everything, a philosophical viewpoint called ‘anthropocentrism’.
I bet the person who wrote this approves of the Holocaust too.
>someone who proclaims to be a professional writer on the field of science is still falling for Malthusian bullshit in the current year
I knew Forbes' standards were low but this is abysmal.
>Thanos did nothing wrong.
This is gold.
Sorry nerds. Love won

This completely disregards Thanos absolutely annihilating biodiversity in the exact same way 5 years earlier. A good half of animals feed on other animals and when both the predator and the prey's numbers are cut in half it helps noone. Yeah and no fucking shit we put ourselves at the center of everything. The salient point being that either erasing or adding an immense amount of people to the environment would totally destroy it. It would have been a more tidy ending if they undid those 5 years, but what what are you going to do, it's a fantasy movie.
In-universe, Thanos was right and the heroes just killing him and stopping him while ignoring the actual real danger he brought to the table is a terrible way to end this conflict.
Either the movie had to prove Thanos was wrong in universe, or have the heroes use the stones to fix things up without killing people.
Anthropocentrism is canonically legitimate in Marvel, and DC too for that matter.
Doe these fuckers not realize that having half of all life on Earth suddenly disappear would in all likelihood result in a catastrophic extinction event? Hell, even after they reversed the snap there will still be entire species that are irreparably FUCKED since odds are the other half went extinct in the five years they were gone. I would argue that reversing Thanos' actions is actively not anthrocentric since it's be saving the entire fucking planet from total biological collapse
Moron who wrote this didn't realize half of life =/= half of all humans
Infinity War tells you to your face that he's completely fucking nuts and only doing this to satisfy himself, it's not either movie's fault if people can't accept that.
Has anyone else noticed that Forbes will literally publish any idiot with any dumb thing to say? It's gotten as bad as Salon.
Thomas Malthus was a retard.
On the one hand we've all read Maus and are here because we focus on entertainment a Jewish led endeavour if ever there was one. On the other hand it's 2019 and Liberalism has been screaming contradictory commands of counterfeit values at the behest of hidden masters. We've been drinking the liberal poison for years and it's getting to the point where if you are by yourself telling crowds of people stories of liberal values they will either laugh at you or attack you for revealing how impracticable liberal values can be. We are watching a cuckening of epic proportions as those rich enough to stay out of the poisonous culture allow it to loudly degenerate.
On the other hand of it wasn't for the last 20 to 40 years of liberals battling conservatives we wouldn't know that traps existed. They would just be considered transvestites and sterile women. We wouldn't know that doctors are willing to frapé 9 month old fetuses. We wouldn't get to watch as media divest from credibility like being believable is a bad stock to own. We never would have known.
At the beginning of Yea Forums a lot of you were already this way. Every shock image was FAKE and every Anonymous was the same person named Anonymous. You could believe nothing years ago. And now more and more of the culture falls to the horrible reality of craft and freetime. A world of illusions or a world of pure imagination.
It seems like nothing will so solidify a Jewish Planetary Empire like another Anti-Jewish wave of government sponsored violence. Just look how The Holocaust established Israel.
More and more the naive are learning that you don't actually believe liberalism you just champion it in order to lead the weak and honest to their own demise. But a lot of people would rather believe that life is more than complex cannibalism.
The end is inevitable
Dread it
Run from it
It all comes just the same
Or should i say we do
The end is a natural part of the balance, in parallel to the beginning
Humans were designed to supplant themselves
To help themselves end
Resistance is futile
We are inevitable
Malthus at least seemed to be aware that population growth tends to be self-capping, which is more than can be said for Thanos and the dumbass that wrote that article.
So are you just copypasta'ing endlessly until someone pays attention to your sad, pathetic existence, or are you just a fucking moron?
We are Groot
What makes you think he isn't both?
>corporate media are abandoning the MCU bandwagon
This is truly the end.
If anything they're only validating it even more by writing interest pieces like this about it
>interest pieces
What is that?
A severely misplaced hope in the inherent goodness of man?
Do you know how fast traitors like yourself would be killed in any actual survival situation?
A business magazine has published an article about the fictional universe, not its financial success but the morality of the characters
>the inherent goodness of man
>humans
>inherently good
That is the silliest shit I've seen today.
But what you assumed wasn't the best of people, you immediately made the worse assumption of user.
That's what I said, they're saying it's shit.
*snap*
I assume this is one of those weird user submitted posts that forbes lets people post.
They've let weirder ones get posted
*Rolls eyes* Like I said also about "Kingsmen", all the "culling" on Earth fails to solve the basic problem of culture.
We want to live extravegent lives that consume tons of resources.
The villain's plan in "Kingsmen" and "Infinity War" did nothing to address this. If anything, the villain is a techno-elite who wants to slaughter a ton of people.....so he keep his precious wi-fi connection up (less people to want his standard of living).
The culture of rampant consumption would continue onward.
Exactly my thinking.
Take our lawns for example. They're literally designed to seriously reduce biodiversity through enforced uniformity of species.
Hey, you whites are always whining about Jews.
Hence the "severely misplaced" codifier, you twits.
Maybe I like to assume that someone isn't inherently stupid right out of the gate and that they're not 100% an idiot despite all evidence to the contrary
>*Rolls eyes*
*I put on my robe and wizard hat*
You'd be shocked how many more insects can appear via the introduction of various wildflowers.
>Maybe I like to assume that someone isn't inherently stupid right out of the gate and that they're not 100% an idiot
You literally did the exact opposite, assuming or at least positing that you think he's either a moron or a sad loser looking for attention.
You know I'm right. Culture creates the strain on our planet, not our numbers. We all want a Silicon Valley lifestyle, to the point we have movies selfishly advocating mass slaughter because we never want to lose our cellphone signal.
Overpopulation in modern times is a an unscientific and ultimately classist hoax whose only possible solution is massive wars or eugenics.
>We want to live extravegent lives that consume tons of resources.
That isn't true. You have yourself and chew against yourself and you chase capable people I to extravagant riches so they can get away from the commoners who are overflowing from self hatred and bitterness from being blamed for their own poverty by the previous generation of scared traumatised rich people hiding in their mansions.
The acres and acres of abandoned tiered farmland all over Asia and Africa reveal that if given the chance humans would turn the earth into a quaint little farm.
>Literally r/thanosdidnothingwrong
Wow
*I cast Lvl. 3 Eroticism. You turn into a real beautiful woman.*
>Culture creates the strain on our planet
And which cultures cause the strain? Look up where pollution actually comes from, and which places take care of their environments. It shouldn't be surprising that productive, stable societies with their acts together are the ones interested in not being shitholes.
Honestly I'm just objecting to his use of asterisk actions. Shit doesn't belong here.
Should people take forbes seriously for anything besides business?
>*Rolls eyes*
Thanos didn't go far enough.
So how exactly am I supposed to convey an eye roll action? Italics?
The entire reason Thanos wanted to dust half the universe was to justify his inane fucking solution to his own planet's troubles. It got shot down and then his civilization up and deleted itself, so to Thanos he wants to test if his idea would have actually saved them by using the rest of known reality as his guinea pigs.
You use an image.
Because this is an image based website.
If you need *whips out dick* to convey emotion, go back to discord.
How are you this stupid?
>finally pulls of his master plan
>learns it's a dud and the surviving half will either give up entirely or be so vengeful that any benefits more resources grants is moot
>decides to just burn it all to ashes and start over by remaking the universe into one that confines to his insane worldviews
He's literally that kid who never once considered he was wrong about the moon being made of cheese or what-have-you that he can only dive deeper into his own bullshit to save face
Always always check out author's other articles to see how crazy they are.
"Why 'Pokémon GO' Is The World's Most Important Game"
....Yeah this be fruit cake.
>In-universe, Thanos was right
Based on what exactly? The massive pile of ruins that is New York even 5 years after Thanos?
Name the other games that have a distinct positive effect on every user's life.
You shouldn't take forbes seriously for business either.
t. works in business
I wonder what would have happened when his new Universe was still filled with war and strife.
He's so fucking wrong. What the fuck is this guy a specialist in? The blurb at the bottom literally just says he's a fucking science man.
He didn't wipe out half of humans he wiped out half of ALL LIFE. Microbes, plants, animals, entire species and ecosystems being dusted by random chance. The snap would literally destroy all life in the universe because it would remove half of the total energy it needed to keep itself in equilibrium.
He's a "science communicator" which is just about the most laughable title one can have.
>it would remove half of the total energy it needed to keep itself in equilibrium
Most of the energy in the Universe isn't in living things.
>Doe these fuckers not realize that having half of all life on Earth suddenly disappear would in all likelihood result in a catastrophic extinction event?
I think it would be far easier to deal with half the population suddenly vanishing than having the population suddenly double as what happened when they reversed it.
For 5 years they had been adjusting society for the new lower population and now suddenly those 4 billion people show up. There are going to be some massive problems involving... well everything.
Most sports.
why didn't the avengers bring back everyone who died in the holocaust when they had the gauntlet also?
lel Pokemonfag getting BTFO hard
How did the logistics of the unsnap work? Did some poor fool respawn inside another human's body and tear them open like a Noob Saibot fatality?
It's pretty reasonable to assume he was referring to video games bud.
But it'd be like said; entire ecosystems would vanish practically overnight because the biodiversity that sustains them had been dealt a fatal blow. You can't just remove half of everything in a matter of seconds and expect nature to just roll with it. You'd be looking at the end of life as we understand it to be on the planet Earth within a few decades after the snap. Those people adjusting during those five years were just getting started on the whole "mourning for the universe" shit
How the fuck would that ever happen?
They reappeared where they disappeared from right? What if you were standing where somebody got dusted?
Fuck I wish I remembered what it's called but isn't there some relatively recent law of physics described that explains why this wouldn't happen and the atoms would repel one another?
Hulk simply wished up they all came back safely. Simple.
In GotG wasn't it said that the stones part of how the universe was created? So in other words they can't really be destroyed could they?
Hisenberg Uncertainty Principle. States you can never know the exact position of any given atom, only it's most probable location, because as far as we can tell every atom simply appears and disappears at random. That plus 99.999% of an atom's mass is in it's nucleus while the rest is literally nothing means for all intents and purposes, matter as we know it is mostly empty space.
The atoms would repel each other if they sufficiently overlapped... at very high speeds. So yeah, if a person spawned inside someone else, both would die.
>*Rolls eyes*
stopped reading there m8
More like they were concentrations of the forces at work during the Big Bang, not the actual core source of those forces. Plus, law of conservation is presumably at play, so Thanos reducing them to atoms only converted the stones into another form of energy, albeit one that is essentially useless to anyone who wanted to use them again
Because it didn't happen.
>randomly killing people
>ethically the same as killing a homogenous group of people
I know that people here are dumb as fuck but fuck's sake, at least try harder
Because a) you'd be bringing back millions of people like Cap who are suddenly thrust into a world decades ahead of where they left off and would open them up to a whole slew of new issues and b)it's explicitly stated in the movie that you can't change the past, only create the conditions for a new timeline/universe to happen while your original timeline remains unchanged.
>killed half of all living things
so anything organic is gone, so humanity has enough resources to sustain 50%, not an abundance of resources.
>half of all animal food sources are gone (cows, chicken, pigs, corn, wheat, etc etc etc) are gone
bravo thanos you dumbass we are where we were, just on a smaller scale
>Imagine life as you know it coming to a standstill and every molecule in your body exploding outwards at the speed of light
Never, ever cross the streams
Take keyboards away from human hating reptilians.
It's not even a test. Thanos "knows" he's right, and so everything he does is to prove the correctness of his plan.
Depends if your civilization's ethics are authoritarian it Egalitarian.
In the other hand over inventory of electronics might decrease their price so cheaper iPhones!
I wonder if after everything is said and done if the Hulk is seen as a deific figure. I mean, the war with Thanos and eventual victory was a group effort, but it was because Hulk was able to de-snap the UNIVERSE that everyone is back.
I don't think Forbes hires shitposters from Yea Forums.
I'm pretty sure they are using some dumb, colloquial definition of "life" that only refers to sapient species.
AVENGERS BTFO
I don't think anyone besides the Avengers knew Hulk was the de-snaper though.
how will fiege ever recover
>the teacher telling me I failed the test is just another test, and my resolve in the face of her opposition further proves that my test answers were correct
Hmm, sounds rather circular.
>Fewer people ought to mean more food and less hunger
LMAO, imagine actually thinking we aren’t producing enough food to feed everybody. This is why this guy’s a Forbes writer.
people like you just cant stop thinking on ways things can go wrong right? even in imaginary miracolous circunstances you keep claiming some things went awfully wrong...whats wrong with you?
Oh, I see the problem.
>Would removing half the human population
Among other logic gaps, he thinks Thanos’ snap targeted only “people”. ALL LIFE, motherfucker. Thanos was so delusionally obsessed with his notion of “balance” that no species was spared the snap. That’s why we SEE AND HEAR BIRDS COME BACK after Hulk unsnaps.
Thinking things through to understand how they could go wrong is not a bad trait. Taken to an extreme it can be debilitating, but somehow I wouldn't assume that of someone discussing a comic book movie.
It's a fucking kids movie Forbes, stop acting like it's some art film.
>Welp, completely random 50% of all life killed
>Whoops, killed 95% of all doctors randomly
There were literally bags of garbage lying in the street.
>Corporate-sponsored, scientifically contrived contrarianism
Now I've seen everything.
Even modern Jews would approve it
It is. I fucking hate commies like you who think murdering people for their race is somehow more evil than murdering people for any other reason. Murder is murder is murder is murder.
Imagine thinking the world revolves around America.
Itd be far more likely the snap would affect half of India China and Africa away since America doesn t even have a billion people.
Law of probability dumbasses
The problem with Kingsmen is most of the culling was centered in major population first world countries IE Europe and USA. If the BBEG wanted to help solve overpopulation he'd have focused on the 3rd world and China/India
