    And SHUT THE FUCK UP about how overpopulation is a myth or whatever and it’s racist and blah blah blah.

    It IS racist, because 99% of the people who bring up overpopulation never bring up overconsumption (which is an exclusively white problem).

    Also, it is overconsumption by white countries that LED to overpopulation in the rest of the world, partially as a defense mechanism (if countries like India didn't overpopulate they'd be US clay by now)

    Also, 99% of the people who bring it up accuse India or China or whatever of being overpopulated, despite the fact that the West has approximately 1.2 billion people as well (only slightly lower)

    The point you're making isn't racist

    But in any case it doesn't matter, because these braindead takes are made by braindead neolib/neocon white hero worship boys who think that history is decided by enigmatic Harry Potter Abe Lincoln characters, instead of raw physical and demographic realities.

    It took Europe like 700 years to come CLOSE to recovering from the Black Death (that's why they still have slightly less people). US overpopulation isn't going to be a problem for several more centuries at the minimum
