More than 99% of people reject Green parties, and instead keep voting for parties and politicians subsidizing a mass extinction. Would it be ethically correct for the 1% of people who don't want a mass extinction, to keep killing the omnicidal class - which the 98% will then find replacements for?

It's not just the richest 1% who are the problem - yes they cause vastly more harm than the rest, but it's also the other 98% poorest who vote for the most violent, Machiavellian, narcissists there are to rule them.

The 1992 Earth Summit in Rio (where the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was created) was a landmark year for the news reporting that climate change is by far the most important issue humans are facing. Widely seen news has been reporting scientists' warnings about the existential threat of our overpopulation and fossil fuel since then, and in the last 30 years the media has been reporting on it more and more every year.

falls onto a handful (or so) of very large corporations

Those companies are not burning the planet for the hell of it - they do it because billions of people choose to buy their biosphere destroying products and services.

While we should vote for Greens who'll make laws where anyone using more than 2.1 tonnes of CO2e per person per year is jailed, instead of for people and parties who subsidize overpopulation and fossil fuel use - in the short term that usually doesn't do anything unless a threshold is passed. Individual action (reducing our communities' fertility rate by 2 orders of magnitude for several decades, not flying, not driving, not living in unsustainable places, ...) while vanishingly small, does actually make a measurable difference.

The former media 'shock jock' commentator has made a series of attacks on the pope, calling him an "imbecile who defends social justice", a "son of a bitch preaching communism" https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/argentine-priests-defend-pope-francis-over-shameful-milei-attacks-2023-09-05/

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus is supposed to have said "You cannot serve both God and money."

Luke 6:29-30 "If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back."

Mark 10:21 "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Many South Koreans, especially older ones, have a negative perception of Japanese voters. One of the main reasons for South Korean and Chinese dislike of Japanese voters, is Japan's government's refusal to properly apologize for war crimes, especially WW2 and just before.

Whereas people in Germany in the 1960s started to admit the horrors they were responsible for in WW2, the Japanese still seem not to.

Please, summarize the article instead of regurgitating their bad titles - or even better don't post links from sources that use bad clickbaity titles.

be deprived of tax benefits, although it could still operate as an entity in Japan.

Religions fleece people who are too stupid to differentiate between reality and fairy tales. These are probably the same people who keep voting for politicians and parties that allow tax benefits for religions.

how to encourage young people to start families and lift Japan’s chronically low birthrate.

Do they also encourage people to fly, drive, set fire to oil fields, melt permafrost covering methane, work for fossil fuel companies?

Brother, can you spare an "n"? And capitals and punctuation marks?

Wouldn't an honest title state that a certain flu variant now seems extinct? Why spread a title that makes it seem like the vaccines are unsafe?

Please downvote distortions like this.
