It's actually mainly anti-vaxxers blaming the vaccines for it

    Oh, no! I totally agree! Just because malthusian overpopulation is bullshit doesn't mean these rich dumb fucks don't believe in it and express it like all their other shared class interests. I think a lot of the blue-maga libs agree with it as well; They're clapping themselves on the back for not being red-maga anti-vaxxers while the Red Masqued, Long Covid walks through their vaccinated castle.

      100%. None of these billionaires actually strike me as particularly well educated about demographics, and belief in overpopulation is incredibly normalized in our society -- which I don't think is an accident. I've had lots of arguments with libs and even genuinely leftist people about how overpopulation isn't a problem, overconsumption is. I believe that all human life has value, and that the environment is primarily being destroyed by and for rich people and their militaries. I think if we get rid of that shit and build a rational agricultural system we can easily live comfortably with this many people, in balance with nature (which I also think is a lot more capable of springing back than many people think).
