This woman and the people who sent her miss the fundamental point. It is not Linkola who is the king to judge humanity, but nature itself. Linkola simply speaks the words on behalf of nature - "humanity must go!" He is a prophet of the will of the forests and oceans, not a ruler of men.
Holy shit, look at his fucking teeth. That's what happens when you go out into nature and eat real fucking food, your fucking teeth stay in your fucking head!
@satail Ok, well do you have maybe some better ideas than him how we gonna stop for example the ongoing 6th mass extinction that will statistically wipe out human mammals from the surface of this planet in about 300 years? Please I'd like to hear something close to a smart argument how we gonna stop that
"In the eyes of the most credible sources, planet Earth can sustain a half-billion humans (500,000,000) without any sizable destruction of our habitat, or any loss in species or stability of our ecosystem."
If you ever actually learn about evolution, that is take an evolution class at the university level, you will quickly realize how silly deep ecology is.
A big raise of hat for this program, when trying to find the more human side of Mr. Linkola. He is also a human, which we so often forget as we get outraged by his texts. Thanks very much for this. I really liked it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He hates humans. He has no interest in seeing the "human side" of anybody else so why should we give him the same honor? This man is a dishonest, neo malthusian elitist who does not understand or care to understand the origins of inequality and injustice in this world. Political and economic democracy is what will save this planet. There are a lot of fascists on youtube and it is unsettling.
Please explain how your beloved mob-rule and a never ending stream of subhumans born into this world will save the planet. I genuinely want to know how you think these things will help Tellus.
Is there anything wrong with this planet at all? After all, we already have great individual freedom and delicious capitalism... So is your "cure" really needed then?
Before they became "subhuman" as you like to put it, they were dispossessed, disenfranchised and disempowered. Without understanding the social origins of overpopulation you perpetuate the same anti-human, elitist and racist mindset that got us here in the first place. Why don't you and the rest of Linkola's followers kill yourselves if you truly believe what you preach?
Allow me to laugh scornfully. Ofcourse there's a social aspect of this, and that origin is called "humanistic morals", the glorification of human all life. We all know this, and can see the problem of unconditional human breeding. Can you? Race has nothing to do with this; a worthless man is a worthless man, no matter his origin. We've also had almost 200 years of democracy already, wihtout any "anti-human, elitist or racist mindsets"; has that helped? I dare to say no.
Bourgeois representative democracy is not democracy at all. It is government for and by the ruling class and the interests of capital. Your idea about humanistic morals is the exact same one that demagogues have been using to degrade and exploit people for thousands of years. its called hypocritical religious moralizing. Simple minded, young, uninformed and emotional makes you the perfect vessel to schlep these ultra far right philosophies. A good Nazi you would make.
Ofcourse, your mob rule is somehow different from the current one. I would never have guessed. Are you an anarcho-syndicalist by any chance? However, the motive for a democratic rule is irrelevant; A mob rule is a mob rule. All it boils down to is the belif that "argumentum ad numerum" makes something right or correct. And give me one example off anti-humanistic morals ever put into practice the last 50 years, please. War doesn't count, obviously.
It is ironic and humorous to me that you dismiss democracy as mob rule and then say that we live in a democracy today, in order to appeal to authoritarianism. And you think those are profound, original thoughts that will one day save the world? You are wasting my time.
Just the fact that you call deep ecology a "far right philosophy" really diqualifies you from taking part in this discussion at all, since its proves you have no grasp of reality. And what is this nonsence about religious demagogy?
I would say that the only one simple minded and uninformed here, is you. As long as the mob rules "in its own interest" its suddenly stops being a bad idea? Your political utopia will somehow magicaly stop overpopulation? Please, you cant even belive that yourself.
News flash to the brainwashed youngster: We live in a society that is based on exploitation and violence! The world is ruled by an oligarchy of elite financiers and corporate CEOs. We produce enough food to feed everybody in the world twice over and yet thousands of children are forced to starve. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, almost every religion, plus the incessant bombardment of consumerist trash, all serve the specific purpose of making you hate yourself.
Humanism has hardly taken the front seat in the world arena and if you think so then its probably because some anti-humanist person with a dishonest agenda has convinced you otherwise. The sharp dualism you draw between humans and the rest of the natural world says to me that you really are not thinking for yourself and are regurgitating the simplistic nazi garbage youve read. Deep ecology is about as empty headed a philosophy as there ever was.
And why dont we kill ourselves? Simple: There are so many others in this world that are more unworthy of life than we. Stop spewing out that individualistic logic of yours.
"Stop spewing out that individualistic logic of yours."- Indeed reason is the enemy of faith as martin luther once said. Perhaps you could use some logic in that brain of yours?
Noticing the Nazi flag w/ green background in 'related videos', I find fitting since Linkola, "Green Fascism's" highest guru, is an unrepentent racist of the fullest degree, declaring that "nappy headed Africans" should be exterminated from the planet. It's one thing to mull over ideas (especially w/ recent rumors re: 'Agenda 21') of depopulation, but consider the "weak greens" and likelihood that most supporters of Linkola's brand of "ecofascism" are classical racists and have no other agenda.
I have many questions about this video, as it is such a contrast with "Can Life Prevail?" It appears to be a segment from a low-brow popular television program. Is the program gently ridiculing / trivializing an elderly Linkola for the entertainment of their viewers? Or is Linkola fully aware of the aim of the program makers and prepared to go along with the fun because he, too, has a playful sense of humour? If you understand Finnish well, I'd appreciate your opinion of this video.
You got it half wrong. What you see is part of more serius program and in every epsiode the interviewer goes and visit homes of different finnish celebs/other notable people and does some work there. I guess its supposed to be light hearted but doesn't ridicule or anything. I am sure Pentti knows this.. even though he doesn't own tv. The interviewer is like a farmhand or something.. they just try to be different from regular house visit+inteview thing.
Thank you! Nice to see these most recent images of Pentti Linkola. Sadly, the translation seemed to cover less than half the words spoken. The video may make more sense to those who have read his books or are otherwise familiar with his place in Finnish society and popular culture, but it can appear only superficial to people who come to Linkola for the first time through this video. My advice: read "Can Life Prevail?" (Voisiko elämä voittaa) and then come back to this video.
Do you know that Finnish is very long lettered language? Also it is spoken slowlier than English. Perhaps because of that it sounds for an English speaking like something is missing. I would say (as a native speaker) that almost 100 % of the spoken words are transcribed into English here. However the film is speenend up (the orignial edit) now and there, so it makes it look a bit hasty and you have to use "pause" in order to get into the rhythm.
Too bad he got diabetes. Should switch to paleo-diet to get rid of it. Great thinker of our time.
