No, this is really basic anti-capitalist stuff. It’s not that deep. Just saying that capitalism relies on economic growth in perpetuity, which is impossible in a finite world.
Why does this discussion immediately turn to culling and eugenics? It’s like you can’t even admit there could be a problem. Fixing it will be hard, but few suggest those steps are the solution. Instead, it starts with realizing everyone can’t have the standard 2.5 kids. We cannot just keep going. Earth is finite and has finite resources. Adding people means less and less is available to everyone else. But people that want a ton of kids hate hearing that. So it becomes solution aversion (if you don’t like a solution, deny there is a problem) and strawmen, like claiming anyone that thinks there is overpopulation wants eugenics.

Sensing motive: “Damn, I’m pretty sure that this wannabe capitalist is either a troll or a bot.”
Edit: “oh look, I rolled a 20.”

It’s because they listen to Alex Jones. Everything they said is an InfoWars talking point.
Thanks for regurgitating InfoWars talking points. Alex Jones would be proud.
I think the only eugenics we need to perform is on InfoWars listeners. Could you imagine it?
Do you have an alternative solution? And what would you propose as a reasonable population cap? 10 billion? 100 billion? 100 trillion?
