If people have to be vegan in the future so our planet doesn't collapse, so be it.

If it's to save 4 billion Africans I would rather let the planet collapse.

So do you despise being alive right now?

It's not a zero sum game where saving Earth must also mean politics ceases to exist. Even Hitler would have made the same observation.
If a population consumes more than what a continent can handle environmentally, it would not be tolerated by anyone in the future.

In a certain way, yes. I absolutely hate the contemporary world. I'm so disgusted by it. If I didn't have a healthy and happy personal life I would be going insane. I can understand how less fortunate white people just snap one day and descend into a nihilistic death spiral. I don't blame them.

We live in a radically different world from the one Hitler lived in.

Every organism has a desire to live. Trashing your own planet to "own" the Africans is just edgy teenager think.

Nobody says we can't create a better world [politically] when we solve the environment question. If anything, you're ignoring all the other scientific revolutions that can still exist. Gene editing, Space Race, Artificial Intelligence etc all can help make future societies sustainable. There's always potential for life to go on but it requires not killing ourselves in an unnecessary eco-apocalypse.
