    So what? is the maker of this meme saying we need to do a “great reset” and start doing eugenics and culling of human beings?

    There’s several billionaires that literally say that on the reg in the WEF. Those are the people who started saying “you will own nothing and be happy” and want us to eat bugs and have obedience chips in our brains.

      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.”

      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.

      Do you have an alternative solution? And what would you propose as a reasonable population cap? 10 billion? 100 billion? 100 trillion?

      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.
