  • We need to start distributing resources more effectively, not culling people. The majority of the human population consumes very little.

    When people talk about overpopulation they always want to get rid of people other than the ones in their own home country, strangely. When the advocates for such policies are in first world nations that consume considerably more than the people they want to get rid of.

    Let me ask you this: if you believe the earth has exceeded its carrying capacity, wouldn’t your conclusion be to start getting rid of people or halting their reproduction? That’s textbook eugenics…












  • It wasn’t as easy to get, less people were using it outside of very serious bodybuilders, and yeah online sourcing has made it even easier.

    And yeah, I’d say in addition to the internet in general, around late aughts/early 2010s started a rise in social media and accompanying body dysmophria skyrocketing in men and boys due to it.

    This was also followed by a shift in body ideals for men. You can see this reflected in our celebrities; take the physique of an 80s action guy like Jean Claude Van Damme for instance vs Chris Hemsworth’s Thor.

    It followed that guys wanted to look even beefier with physiques that are largely unattainable through natural means, cue rising anabolic steroid usage.

    There’s also the rise of things like fitness culture contributing to it and “alpha male” stuff so now every other cis guy is at the TRT clinic for supposed low testosterone levels.

    As a bonus it’s now less stigmatized than it used to be.

    So now there’s more people using, more people selling it, and more ways to get it if you can’t legally, just a numbers game.
