    We need less humans.

    Otherwise we will outgrow this planet and kill it and ourselves.

        So humans constantly multiplying and growing has zero impact on the world ?

        Only capitalist overlords want constant population growth. Because that’s the only way they increase their wealth.

        By stealing it from more people. By having more desperate people who know they are easily replaceable, work for pennies.

        Exploitation is the game. And you need more people to exploit people. Boys to fight endless wars.

        Especially since their influence on the world is likely to start decreasing life span exponentially.

        From my reading, eco-fascists demand eugenics, genocide or anti-immigration laws. Pointing out that fewer people on the planet could help, doesn’t seem fascist to me.

          The only people parroting the dumb malthusian bullshit at this point are eco-fascists.

          There’s a hard rule for each malthusian to follow, and there’s no room for negotiation on it. If you agree with the ideas, you must volunteer to go first.

            At what point did I say we need to start killing people?

            This post is about having children.

            We can all just decide to have less children and most have anyway because capitalism has made it increasingly difficult to afford children and have time to be with them.

            I myself never wanted children. I don’t have any. And I’m already at an age it would be a higher risk pregnancy.

            I have always been of the opinion that if for some reason I did change my mind about wanting children, I would become a foster parent because there are plenty of kids who need homes.

            Having a realistic perspective on population growth and it’s negative impacts is not advocating for mass killings.

            Who the fuck would think that ?

            Volunteering to have fewer than two children is consistent with a belief that a reduction in the human population is desirable. It does not require suicide.

      That’s already happening and there seems to be nothing that can be done to stop it
