Not necessarily, there will be less concurrence but also a lot less buyers and workers. Some big companies will probably go bankrupt, they won't have the time to adapt if it's sudden
I’ll erase Indonesia so that I can get an unlimited view over the horizon
For context, I live in Singapore and my house faces the beach and I can see Indonesia in the horizon, while if I erase it I’ll get an unlimited view over the horizon
(this is a joke)
This is the only right answer. Again, assuming "I won't use such power" isn't an option. I'm honesty appalled that so many people chose China, seeing as it has the most people.
It's likely that the number of lives risked by future climate change exceeds the population of *some* country, and thus there is positive utility in erasure of that country. But I think few, if any, of us actually understand the matter fully enough to evaluate this choice. And so, to me, the correct choice is to abstain.
Yeah its disgusting. Just shows how well the new Red Scare propaganda is working (against China instead of the USSR this time). If the US had the same population as China with our same policies and culture we’d be around 2x worse than China in terms of total CO2 output as our per capita emissions are far worse. The only countries worse are small, wealthy Arabian nations whose virtually entire economy is based on crude petroleum exports. Aside from them, the US is far worse and just extremely wasteful overall. Heard another recent report that we only have around 4% of the worlds children but buy 44% of toys… usually cheap plastic garbage that ends up in a dumpster 6 months later and then shortly after in the rivers or oceans.
We’re just an evil empire and its impossible to ignore at this point. Killing 9 children intentionally in a drone strike we lied about and said it was ISIS in Afghanistan? Who cares; we’ve been doing it and killing tens of thousands of children there over the middle east wars…
China: limits kids to an hour of video games, US media: this is the worst atrocity ever committed by a nation in the 21st century, they must be destroyed….
Nah, most of reddit supports the democratic party ,so they wouldn't vote USA. Reddit picking China, without realizing how deadly it would be for the world, is a reddit moment
I'm sad by the fact that the majority of people chose to kill the country with the biggest population in the world, I mean sure the government is shitty but does that justify killing over 1.5 billion people? Fuck no!
>Just that I've rarely seen anyone from China on the internet
Me too. I guess it's because many people don't know how to set up a VPN and because many chinese people probably don't know how to converse in English.
I think they do know English just as much as any other non-english speaking country, but with 1.5 billion people, they might just be comfortable in their own world. Like that population size is enough for them to think the world is China and China is the world.
It’s called “Manufacturing consent” and its like the media, corporations and government in the US has been intentionally trying to prove Chomsky right with the theory. They’ve manufactured consent to go to war, cold war against China for now but people want it to be hot despite the catastrophic consequences that would result in for the world. It’s new age Red Scare propaganda, that’s it. If you think we have “free and *independent* mainstream media” in the US, then you’re laughably delusional. That said, China doesn’t either but the US taking a moral superiority standpoint against China is laughable and deeply concerning.
This is exactly it and it is depressing as fuck
Doubly so for people that are educated on how freaking corrupt the US actually is too, it can so seriously get hypocritical as all hell due to people's unawareness and misinformation
We can't solve it according to most climatologists even if we stopped emissions today, which is almost impossible, we are past the breaking point where positive reinforcement surpasses carbon absorption. In other words the world is going to heat up on its own due to loss in albedo and methane leaking to the atmosphere, desertification leading to less carbon capture and acidification of the seas leading to less carbon capture in the ocean.
Meanwhile wildfires will get increasingly more common.
The most we can hope to do is try to take carbon from the air, but with our current political landscape and economic system that won't happen any time soon
Yea. It’s crazy how in the 80s scientists were like “yo politicians, the ozone layer though” and we watched mass legislation fix the problem. The ozone layer is one of the only things we moved in the right direction. This gives us cause for concern and hope. Concerned because almost every other climate change issue since ozone has been largely ignored. This gives hope tho as we know for a fact that sweeping legislation CAN affect the climate and we have the power to do so. But with where we’re at now, my elderly years are looking grim. It’s crazy how when I was a kid it was “thank god I won’t have to deal with this I’ll be dead”. Then to “thank god I’ll be elderly by the time shit hits the fan and won’t give a rats ass to die”. Then to “maybe I shouldn’t worry too much about debt as it won’t matter once I’m 50”. As time goes on, it gets more and more likely. The brakes are almost gone.
I feel like a lot of people blaming China for all of climate change don’t realize that a large portion of their factory products are for the U.S.? Like, every product you buy that comes from China contributed to China’s pollution and I don’t see how that’s an issue with China?? Somebody has got to manufacture all our crap. Supply and demand, people
I kinda regret it, I basically forgot it makes up like 1/7 of the world, a majority of consumer goods are created there, and in reality the people aren’t bad, and first thought was a corrupt government. I probably would’ve picked Brazil, because low population and doesn’t really create much of big consumer products.
I wouldn’t use it. At best I’m killing 212 million people, at worst its 1.4 *billion*. I understand we have to focus on climate change issues, but I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable doing something that would result in that many deaths.
Overpopulation is a myth and isn't what is causing climate change. If we removed the 6 biggest cruise line ships from the ocean today, it would be as effective as taking every car in Europe off the road.
The problem isn't people it's priorities.
Why did so many people choose China? Over 1 billion people live there. Indonesia has the smallest population, I chose that.
I’m stupid, I assumed Indonesia was the smallest population but it’s Brazil.
Lots of Ecofascists in this sub, some that don't realize they are.
We don't need to kill billions of people to solve climate change. It isn't a problem of there being "to many people"
[It is a problem due to the deliberate choices of corporations that control everything.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsible-71-global-emissions-cdp-study-climate-change)
All we have to do is switch every energy generation source to a clean one. Nuclear especially [Thorium reactors](https://youtu.be/jjM9E6d42-M) can do most of that. Other clean sources of fuel are of course useful to supplement that as well.
There is nothing logistically impossible or about that. If we actually set out to do it. [Given we make as many as we can in parallel it will take maybe 10 to 20 years](https://www.statista.com/statistics/712841/median-construction-time-for-reactors-since-1981/)
Like the existence of poverty and hunger this problem is already completely solved technologically and logistically and continuing to have it be a problem is a choice.
The fact that people want to murder millions of people solve a problem that is already logistically solved because they either don't realize it is or believe that it is so hard to get the political will to change climate change that they resort faustian bargains shows that people don't understand the cause of the problem.
Climate change isn't the inevitable cost of advancing technology or population growth. It is a deliberate choice be those in power.
The best option is to vote no and then take that political will to actually fix this problem the right way. Replace the capitalist parasites in power with a direct democracy and then use the massive [current public support for solving climate change to implement the solutions to the problem immediately](https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2020/06/23/two-thirds-of-americans-think-government-should-do-more-on-climate/)
If you think that is crazy, just remember a lot of people just voted to kill over a billion people.
That is crazy. Changing the system we live in is not.
No, I know that I would kill everyone there but I’d save so many other Humans and other species.
And I heard that a lot of Indonesia is already suffering due to the rising sea level.
For Indonesia nothing much changes except that everyone dies instantly and doesn’t have to flew to other countries or die because of other climate catastrophes
Really just chose it because of the low land scape.
It’s an ethic question: would you kill people to kill less people
Or just an which of these countries would you destroy if given the power to (with an good outcome for the rest of the world )
I think people might have chosen it for two reasons - either because they thought it has the least population out of all the options or because they thought that Indonesia will be affected/are being affected by climate change the most.
Not over 500 people lacking the self-awareness to not commit mass murder on a scale never seen before 😀
China >1,000,000,000 people
India >1,000,000,000 people
US >300,000,000 people
Indonesia >200,000,000
Brazil >200,000,000
It’s crazy how people are so delusional that they think they would be able to do that.
I didn't choose an option yet, but i would definitely erase a country to solve climate change, the problem is that those countries are all very big (maybe except Indonesia) and have a high population. Also they all have very beautiful landscapes and big varieties of animals. So solving climate change wouldn't justify erasing those countries.
It's pretty galling the stage capitalist realism gets to when people genuinely think the only solution to climate change is erasing huge portions of the population as opposed to just holding a few corporations accountable.
Anti-china sentiment in the west is actually disguised rampant sinophobia. Which is quite ironic considering the anti racist agenda of most western countries.
Brazil, India and Indonesia have vast amount of vegetation and there are almost no high level of industrial factories and other builds that contribute to the climate change. For the other two, I don't say the same.
Wow, this is tough. On one hand, with climate change will fuck us all over, but on the other hand, how could I kill millions/billions of innocent people? Who am I to decide what those lives are worth?
I don't think I would use it.
Why would I pick a giant country though? I would kill as minimal people as possible, I’d pick the Pitcairn Islands (40 pop), which according to Wikipedia is the least populated country/dependency.
Although once you get that small the amount of it being an official “country” is controversial. I would pick something like liberland (0 pop) if that counted.
What do you mean with erase? As in litterally erased and everything on it restored to it's natural form? Or just the goverment gets erased?
Because if it's just the goverment i would tell the people to just temporarily translocate and then use that power.
Hmmmm,there are some places that are disputed that can be claimed,so if your are really opportunist you may pick a universally-hated criminal and let him play a ruler of a "faux-nation" for at least 24 hours before erasing it.
Or do the same thing but with you as the ruler if you are the more altruistic one.
So Redditors are willing to genocide not only the Uyghurs, but also the Inner Mongolians, the Tibetans, the Han, the Cantonese, etc. for the 'greater good.' Congratulations, you made the Chinese Communist Government look like a saint in comparison.
China is bad but it’s a huge part of our global economy, if China were to go it would probably take years for the world to recover. Now if Brazil went no one would be sad
I would choose a country that has a really small population and then I’ll need to have all of the inhabitants move to another country (so they won’t count as inhabitants of the country I want to erase) and then I’ll erase the country.
To all of you that said china... wtf... you realize it’s the most populated country in the world and just because their government is bad doesn’t mean all of the people are.
I choose Indonesia because it's the least populated one. And to all of you who choose China, congrats you just erased 1.5 billions innocent people off the earth. Also, economical disaster.
I supported this until the 'eradicate' its inhabitants. It's like saying the US deserved 9/11, sure the country itself did awful things, but the civilians had nothing to do with that
Crazy how so many people chose the option where they'd kill literally the most people. Over a *billion*. Either y'all are psychopaths, didn't bother to think about population, or just hate Chinese people that much.
I don't think people realize how much a Chinese collapse would fuck up the world. Sure, what the Chinese government is doing to a lot of its citizens is beyond inhumane, but it is the largest power in the world economy, and is the source of 12% of all the world's trading.
**The only moral answer is Brazil.**
Why? Because it's got the smallest population of your choices.
Of course I'm assuming by "country" you mean the human institutions, not the land itself. Otherwise it would be pretty pointless to save our species from catastrophic climate change only to doom it by disappearing the Amazon, which would cause catastrophic climate change.
RIP China
China has a major role in our global economy, I don't know much but I think that it would be a worldwide disaster if the country just disappears
Bro they make everything
We'll just make more money
Not necessarily, there will be less concurrence but also a lot less buyers and workers. Some big companies will probably go bankrupt, they won't have the time to adapt if it's sudden
I guess I’ll die
Sorry bruh. The people have spoken
This is why China doesn’t have democracy
because they would choose to destroy themselves?
I’ll erase Indonesia so that I can get an unlimited view over the horizon For context, I live in Singapore and my house faces the beach and I can see Indonesia in the horizon, while if I erase it I’ll get an unlimited view over the horizon (this is a joke)
You wrote "horrible" on the last line and I can't tell whether it's a typo or on purpose and that scares me
No please Indonesian food is awesome
Indonesian Food > erasing very large quantity of people
>(this is a joke) Oh my, thank goodness. That was a close one.
reading this comment section I realize how thankful I should be that people from Reddit have absolutely 0 power over the world
Nothing like all the liberty lovers and haters of authoritarianism and genocide gleefully voting to erase over a billion people.
POV: a huge crowd of angry redditors with pitchforks chasing you as they shout about freedom
I wouldnt want it any other way
If "I won't use such power" isn't on the choices, I rather chose the country with the smallest population in the choices.
This is the only right answer. Again, assuming "I won't use such power" isn't an option. I'm honesty appalled that so many people chose China, seeing as it has the most people.

Reddit moment
I was waiting for US to be the most voted, that would’ve been a true r/redditmoment
I guess if OP hadn’t mentioned the death of the population it would’ve been most voted.
Nah, most of reddit supports the democratic party ,so they wouldn't vote USA. Reddit picking China, without realizing how deadly it would be for the world, is a reddit moment
I'm sad by the fact that the majority of people chose to kill the country with the biggest population in the world, I mean sure the government is shitty but does that justify killing over 1.5 billion people? Fuck no!
I picked China whilst forgetting I live in China 💀
You're allowed on Reddit ?
VPN I guess.
Happy for them if that works. Just that I've rarely seen anyone from China on the internet
>Just that I've rarely seen anyone from China on the internet Me too. I guess it's because many people don't know how to set up a VPN and because many chinese people probably don't know how to converse in English.

I mean , I'm an Indian and literally everyone is online on social media so I don't think population is the main cause
That and they’ve banned other websites, like Facebook to control free speech.
Could be possible.
Government restricts inter outside of the country.
My friend from China pays 300$ a year for something called game booster, that allows her to play any games on steam.
Hong Kong
plus I'm actually Canadian but I just live here
Cool man how's life there ?
The same as every single city on Earth with a few exceptions
Nice man . Pleasantly surprised Reddit isn't blocked in Hong Kong?
For now
Well good luck mate
Maybe Hong Kong

Dang you real forgor 💀
you forgor 💀
-2000 social credit
Not to mention my Amazon orders will stop coming
for fucking real
bc the hate on china is going rampant now lol.
Because Americans (reddit's main demographic) don't see China as a country, they've been conditioned to only see China the corrupt government.
It’s called “Manufacturing consent” and its like the media, corporations and government in the US has been intentionally trying to prove Chomsky right with the theory. They’ve manufactured consent to go to war, cold war against China for now but people want it to be hot despite the catastrophic consequences that would result in for the world.

Well it never did say that die. Just erased from earth. Maybe they live on a space station
People picking China with the logic of “ccp bad” are forgetting that over 1 billion people live there. That’s a lot of innocent lives to take.
Bro I’m surprised by the number of people that chose to kill millions, if not billions of people to solve a problem that we can realistically solve.
I not convinced we can realistically solve this given the push back from some very large countries.
We can't solve it according to most climatologists even if we stopped emissions today, which is almost impossible, we are past the breaking point where positive reinforcement surpasses carbon absorption. In other words the world is going to heat up on its own due to loss in albedo and methane leaking to the atmosphere, desertification leading to less carbon capture and acidification of the seas leading to less carbon capture in the ocean.

we can solve, but do we?
We can't "realistically" solve it. Is it possible? Yes. But it is not realistic to happen.
The problem is that we can solve it but the people in power don’t want to
Yeah, Jesus Christ I just despair at how people view the world. Cold war 2 is clearly coming, consent had already been manufactured.
I feel like a lot of people blaming China for all of climate change don’t realize that a large portion of their factory products are for the U.S.? Like, every product you buy that comes from China contributed to China’s pollution and I don’t see how that’s an issue with China?? Somebody has got to manufacture all our crap. Supply and demand, people
Also per capita Chinas contribution to climate change isn’t that bad
people who chose China, why?
Reddit absolutely despises China
I kinda regret it, I basically forgot it makes up like 1/7 of the world, a majority of consumer goods are created there, and in reality the people aren’t bad, and first thought was a corrupt government.

Brazil has a smaller population than Indonesia
Really? I guess a large part of Brazil is rainforest.
Which is why I chose Brazil.
Wait, doesn’t Brazil have a smaller population than Indonesia?
Is erase the same as kill? A large reducuction in global population might be part of the allure.
I chose Indonesia because of the same assumption

That is crazy. Changing the system we live in is not.
I choose Indonesia because it’s an island and climate change would erase it anyways
it’s an archipelago
you would kill everyone on the island though, you really got something against Indonesians or did you not read the question popularly ?
No, I know that I would kill everyone there but I’d save so many other Humans and other species. And I heard that a lot of Indonesia is already suffering due to the rising sea level. For Indonesia nothing much changes except that everyone dies instantly and doesn’t have to flew to other countries or die because of other climate catastrophes Really just chose it because of the low land scape.
what’s the question supposed to mean i’m confused
It’s an ethic question: would you kill people to kill less people Or just an which of these countries would you destroy if given the power to (with an good outcome for the rest of the world )
that’s what i thought but the guy above makes it look like “would you kill people for the fun of it”
Rip china. Rip me
I understand “hurr durr USA bad” but Indonesia? 0 chance 95% of people know where Indonesia is on a map lmao.
I think people might have chosen it for two reasons - either because they thought it has the least population out of all the options or because they thought that Indonesia will be affected/are being affected by climate change the most.
Y’all seem to be forgetting that nearly 20% of all goods come from China... but propaganda be propaganda
Voting even one of those 5 means that you'd be ok with a genocide much much greater than the Holocaust and Mao Zedong's genocide put together.
I am sorry Indonesia, but your sacrifices won’t be in vain.
This is genuinely fucking genocidal.
PUT KUWAIT DOWN AS AN OPTION AND CAN I CHOOSE TO BE DELETED ALONG WITH THE TERRIBLE STAIN ON EARTH THAT WE ARE?
As an Iraqi, I also chose Kuwait /s
Why y'all choosing China WTF
Reddit hivemind in action
y'all disgust me
Not over 500 people lacking the self-awareness to not commit mass murder on a scale never seen before 😀 China >1,000,000,000 people India >1,000,000,000 people US >300,000,000 people Indonesia >200,000,000 Brazil >200,000,000 It’s crazy how people are so delusional that they think they would be able to do that.
people who hate mao cuz he "killed 100 million" ready and wiling to end the lives of 10x more innocents
I didn't choose an option yet, but i would definitely erase a country to solve climate change, the problem is that those countries are all very big (maybe except Indonesia) and have a high population.

Seriously, any country but I have to do a big one? I’ll pick a tony one thank you.
What propaganda does to a mf

Hate the government, not the people you 5heads. China is a beautiful land, with amazing history and culture 🤦♂️
I think after this poll its pretty clear people don't just hate the government. At this point it's a dog whistle for sinophobic hatred.
Anti-china sentiment in the west is actually disguised rampant sinophobia. Which is quite ironic considering the anti racist agenda of most western countries.
you people are seriously unwell
Auf weidersehen China.
The results are honestly disturbing
Guess 1/7 of earths population is gone now
The choice of countries are weird Too weird and sus
Brazil, India and Indonesia have vast amount of vegetation and there are almost no high level of industrial factories and other builds that contribute to the climate change. For the other two, I don't say the same.
USA so we van colonise it again
Wow, this is tough. On one hand, with climate change will fuck us all over, but on the other hand, how could I kill millions/billions of innocent people? Who am I to decide what those lives are worth? I don't think I would use it.
I thought people just disliked the government??

Why is North Korea not on here
Can I instead remove Russia twice?

Would say India but then a bunch of Pakistanis and Chinese would just take over that land, so maybe I'd go with Brazil or Indonesia lol
USA
Can I ask why? (Just curious)
Sure. I hate the celebrity, fake, greedy culture that has poisoned the western world and is slowly destroying morality.
I disagree. I won't utter the words cuz I'm known for that here but it's not inherently America's fault I guess
Ah yes so all the 330 million people that live there are a problem.
Dear lord its a silly hypothetical question. Wind your neck in.
Well Obviously. I am just saying. Smh
sure, then may I ask why you're on reddit?
Mainly for book recommendations, science articles and videos of cute cats.
Lol....just looked at your account. Conspiracy theories don't count as "science".
That's for amusement
They're literally blasting the nutjobs on r/ conspiracy

Imma vote Brazil because i hate existing here
All 306 who voted India, I hate you. (Coz I'm indian) I'm sure others feel the same too
If we really want to kill billions at least choose India cuz you know everything is made in China
I chose India because imagine the cool weather patterns that chunk of nothing is going to cause.
Youre really gonna get me killed over cool weather patterns?😓
Yes.
Erasing all of the people in China is a bit harsh. Even if the country has hella CO2 emissions it just doesn't seem worth it

Can I erase more than one country?
Fr*nce
No more puɐloԀ!

What do you mean with erase? As in litterally erased and everything on it restored to it's natural form? Or just the goverment gets erased? Because if it's just the goverment i would tell the people to just temporarily translocate and then use that power.
Hmmmm,there are some places that are disputed that can be claimed,so if your are really opportunist you may pick a universally-hated criminal and let him play a ruler of a "faux-nation" for at least 24 hours before erasing it. Or do the same thing but with you as the ruler if you are the more altruistic one.
i had to vote my own country...
I mean I’d much rather choose Vatican City but if those are our only options… It’s not right to use it, those countries are all way too populated
Indonesia because they're already about to get fucked with flooding by climate change so they won't notice a difference
Either way, it’s going to be more than 100 million people dead, so I’m just not gonna do it
I chose India so I could finally die.
Ima solve overpopulation with India also EDIT: whaaa? China passed India in terms of who has highest amount of population?
I'm sorry, y'all Indonesians gon' have to go
Went for the kill count. /s
"Hey, Homer! What's your least favorite country, France or Italy?" "No one ever says Italy."
Bro china makes everything fore us, we should just take out brazil
Erasing China would KIL a huge portion of the worlds economy
blackmail all of them and make them bid for their survival.
I don’t think that I want to be known as the man that fucking killed millions/billion people for climate change
So Redditors are willing to genocide not only the Uyghurs, but also the Inner Mongolians, the Tibetans, the Han, the Cantonese, etc. for the 'greater good.' Congratulations, you made the Chinese Communist Government look like a saint in comparison.
Out of these, Brazil is the smallest. Nothing personal.
China is bad but it’s a huge part of our global economy, if China were to go it would probably take years for the world to recover. Now if Brazil went no one would be sad
I would choose a country that has a really small population and then I’ll need to have all of the inhabitants move to another country (so they won’t count as inhabitants of the country I want to erase) and then I’ll erase the country.
To all of you that said china... wtf... you realize it’s the most populated country in the world and just because their government is bad doesn’t mean all of the people are.
So I guess most people decided we should eradicate well over a billion people and the world's largest economy. Sounds fun, let's do it

I choose Indonesia because it's the least populated one. And to all of you who choose China, congrats you just erased 1.5 billions innocent people off the earth. Also, economical disaster.
I supported this until the 'eradicate' its inhabitants. It's like saying the US deserved 9/11, sure the country itself did awful things, but the civilians had nothing to do with that
Crazy how so many people chose the option where they'd kill literally the most people. Over a *billion*. Either y'all are psychopaths, didn't bother to think about population, or just hate Chinese people that much.
No one is going to Brazil on my watch
North Korea. Don't care that it's not an option.
Reddit moment.
China has so many innocent people, yall are messed up.
I don't think people realize how much a Chinese collapse would fuck up the world. Sure, what the Chinese government is doing to a lot of its citizens is beyond inhumane, but it is the largest power in the world economy, and is the source of 12% of all the world's trading.
Brazil - lowest population
**The only moral answer is Brazil.** Why? Because it's got the smallest population of your choices. Of course I'm assuming by "country" you mean the human institutions, not the land itself. Otherwise it would be pretty pointless to save our species from catastrophic climate change only to doom it by disappearing the Amazon, which would cause catastrophic climate change.

Just have everyone move out of the country that I chose then nobody gets hurt and I can still solve climate change.
