Your comment is hogshit.

Pure projection.

You’re trying to suggest that something worked before so we should continue to do it.

You say that like it's a bad thing?

Besides, it's not just that. What I'm actually suggesting is that we've thoroughly tried the alternative, and it has proven to be a failure. Never mind screwing ourselves over with climate change; we're also going to simply bankrupt ourselves if we keep building sprawl.

Should we not take vaccines next because that worked before? Should we not use soap too because they didn’t have that back then? Should we go back to riding horses? Should we all live in huts and mud walls? Should we not use electricity anymore as well?

Oh, fuck off back to Reddit -- you're trolling in bad faith and you know it. Not only that, but what you wrote isn't even accurate in any sense because that shit didn't "work before!"
