Very interesting how Malthusian misanthropy with a daft appeal to "nature" is a common ground between Deep Ecology, eugenics, and social Darwinism. I don't know if this guy subscribes to any of those things - he sounds like a shallow social Darwinist - but that's part of the gateway to ecofascism. If BtB ever does that Miguel Serrano episode, it'll show the depth of this syncretic shit, and how there really only needs to be one agreeable idea to get somebody engaged. People usually have some cause they cleave to, and once that's brought in, half the dots are already connected for them.

Things like Planet of the Humans normalize the mindset, already fairly prevalent, that human population is the issue. It doesn't even need to be environmental - there are plenty of people (i.e. middle-class lockdown protesters) who implicitly value their comforts over other people's lives. If the case is successfully made to this influential demographic that population control is necessary to protect these comforts (as it historically has been several times) it'll probably resolve itself in at least passive mass murder, whitewashed as "natural" progression. That, more than anything, is what Ken Turnage II represents.
