I think that cratering the carrying capacity of the Earth with a climate apocalypse is bad, but 99.9% of the time when people talk about overpopulation, they are promoting genocidal and scientifically backwards bullshit, often throwing China under the bus despite it being far better per capita than the anglosphere and constantly improving.
Degrowth is a much more serious frame for these discussions, not to mention the annihilation of industrial beef farming, which is just an unspeakable waste of resources beyond being cruel to the animals.
Or they are like my dad who constantly talks about needing to "remove" roughly 4-5 billion people from the Earth.
Agree with unlimited genocide on the first world with him
I dont think there are that many people in the first world. They are a smaller slice of The world population than we think (although overrepresented in all other aspects)!
