    It is a fact. And fascism would be a policy that is aimed at a specific group of people. Its not fascist to say all humans need to curb our reproduction rates to make a better life for future generations.

      Yes it is, because the problem was never the total number of humans, the problem is our wasteful economic system. With a rational economic system we could easily sustain 10 billion people, we literally already produce food for that much, it just goes to waste.

      You’re just so brainwashed by capitalist ideology you think the only solution to climate change is genocide, god forbid you try to envision a better economic system.

          How the fuck do you think the global population gets lowered other than, at the very least, restricting some people from reproducing? You think people are magically going to want no kids?

          Also you didn’t respond to the part of my comment where I literally say that “overpopulation” is a fascist myth and isn’t anywhere close to the truth.

      No, humans need to reorganize society before curbing anything

      Overpopulation isn’t the driver of damage, overconsumption is

      So much damage could be eliminated by

      • allowing people to not mow their lawns/keep animals on them
      • abolishing all dress codes (less need for AC in the summer)
      • mandating green roofs
      • public transit
      • eliminating bullshit jobs
      • requiring ease of repair

      and so many other things, which wouldn’t even reduce people’s quality of life, but improve it (so long as these resources are shared equally). After that happens, yes you can talk about limiting births to a 2.0 fertility rate, with some leeway (like you get fewer privileges if you have more kids) but in general this planet could easily handle twice or even thrice the amount of humans with no environmental damage if the population was managed properly. Which of course means you don’t get your own personal carriage to take you to a Taylor Swift concert 50 miles away at the drop of a hat

      Ok, explain how it is true that every human purely by being born is equally culpable, and that human society isn’t at issue? And then you can explain why this doesn’t apply to you and your family.
