    Malthusian overpopulation is obviously bullshit, but I really wonder if the ruling class fuckers believe in it.

      Bill Gates most certainly does, he routinely expresses concern about shit like Africa and their "rapid population growth" and the like, there's no way he isn't an ecofascist

        I'm sure it's a coincidence that bill gates was loudly against opening up mrna vaccine tech and how covid vaccines barely made it into Africa.

          It's real fun how Bill Gates is routinely referred to as an expert outside of his lane (intellectual property/stealing from workers), including pandemics, and he's probably the single person who should have the most blame in the catastrophic pandemic response. He's the one who convinced Oxford to sell their vaccine for big pharma, after they had the original intent to make it open source for the world.

          The fact that this business tyrant who was reviled by many in the public has now rebranded himself as a "good" billionaire really shows he has the best PR that money can buy.

            You can buy a lot of PR when you have billions of dollars to burn

              The only thing that deserves to be pancaked into the ground is Bill Gates

        They are saving money on retirement accounts. I'm sure in another couple years we'll see headlines like "Actually, the average lifespan going down is a good thing" or "the dark side of living into retirement age"
