largely to no avail

Great news.

“Overpopulation” is bunk. We have the resources to sustain 8 billion people, (or more, really) just not 8 billion Americans. But when people say there’s too many people, it’s usually a eugenicist argument that really means “there’s too many people in those poor countries.”

I hear eugenists say “there’s not enough people” in place of “we need more specially white folk so the uneducated colored don’t replace us” far far more often, see Elon musk and the like.

I’ve actually only ever heard “there’s too many people” come from anti capitalists.
