    You can give up all you want.

    The biggest issue with your argumentation is that it takes one extreme (“farmers need to live in rural areas”) and use that as a justification for everyone who is not covered by that rule.

    For example, all of suburbia can go. Close to nobody living there is a farmer and people only live in the suburbs because they can use a car to get to city center quickly.

    But also in more rural areas there are a lot of people who commute to their office job in the next city.

    That is not a totally valid life choice by far. If you want to work in the city, move to the city.

      not everyone have to live the way you enjoy living. Diversity is good.

      I could say. Because I know international travel is polluting and I don’t like it let’s put a global ban on international traveling. No one is allow to travel. Probably people who enjoy traveling (you might be among them) will be furious against me and it would be dictator like from me trying to take that away from them.

      No. Environment should never be a excuse to have a dictator like mindset of just depriving people of their lifestyles. That will be fight against, and people fighting that away would be on the right side of story.

      Once again, we are a clever species. Surely we can find a way to make diverse lifestyles work. I completely disagree with your radical posture that that lifestyle is imposible to have without human extinction. You completely disregard that things like remote work or decentralized offices exist. The solutions already exist. It would be matter of expanding them to reduce the amount of people needing daily commute.

      Now even you say all suburbia have to go too. That’s type of close-minded extremism should never be the beam that guides the future of humankind. It would be a sad future. Let people be free to live in suburbia if they want, let people to life in a rural area if they want. At this point the only think that’s not a valid life choice here is your intention to oppress everyone into the only lifestyle you consider “valid”.

      And I’m pretty sure that the environment is nothing but a excuse here. It would be nice to disclose the true reasons for the hate towards people who doesn’t live in cities.

        Sure. The survival of the species can never be an excuse to reduce personal comfort even a little bit.

          Once again the survival of the species is not on the line because of that.

          That’s just an excuse you are making to justify a hate that has other roots.

          Prove is in the complete disregard of proposed solutions: remote work, decentralized offices, traffic reduction instead of complete suppression, population reduction… And apparently disregard for other forms of pollution that could be reduced or eliminated instead, for instance, international traveling, or traveling at all, maybe people living in cities should never visit nature or different places, that travel will destroy the world!
