We live in an environment of planned obsolescence and mindless consumerism. A high quality of life can be achieved for everyone globally if we wanted to do so. Instead we sustain a system designed to extract 'profit' as it's driving virtue.

The people most would advocate be removed from the population haven't been born yet. I'm pretty sure they don't object.

    I keep trying to unpack the meaning of this in my head but I cant. What are you saying?

    I'm saying that most people who want to reduce the population are not advocating for killing anyone. All it takes is people deciding to have one less child than they might otherwise have had. No call for volunteers necessary.

    Most, fine. A powerful few who are yelling it from every tree top whilst they themselves are having multiple kids, smells like a plot to ensure that their kids inherit the earth

    Oh, absolutely. Eugenicists absolutely exist. I wouldn't argue otherwise. The point is that not everyone concerned about population is one. In fact, most eugenicists today are ringing the panic bell about population decline.
