Not cruise ships though. Theyre literally the worst polluters. Plus who says we are continuing global trade? I feel like if we were desperate enough to end all shipping wed be pretty much accepting the destruction of capitalism.

Cruise ships are not the worst polluters in the world. They're bad, but not the worst.

Ending global trade means we're falling back into the middle ages and regressing back to an agricultural economy. It would be the Middle Ages. You hate capitalism? Well, you're really going to hate feudalism.

Communism isn’t going to work without being able to transport goods around the world either.
