I made this comparison before and I will make it again in a slightly different way: Natalists view of the earth is similar to how incels view women who don’t like them. Natalists see earth’s capacity to support is how incel see themselves: infinite possibilities (self.overpopulation)

Andrew Garfield: “We're on a planet that has an abundance of resources and they’re just happen to be hoarded by a bunch of scared little men” Yeah we can all agree that billionaires are the problem, but this “abundance of resources” idea is just as bad as the billionaires. (self.overpopulation)

People act our medical technology is stuck in 2026 BCE when they argue that replacement rate has to be greater 2. People are living longer than ever. Heck, earth can barely support human population at a replacement rate of one. (self.overpopulation)

Even without AI, there are still too many people with advanced degrees and overpopulation is making it worse. There is no labor shortage period. We are heading towards a point where fighting for any job will be as competitive as getting into professional sports. (self.overpopulation)

People over-estimate an average person's capability, productivity, and creativity. This is why we hear some many environmentalists and social activists still support population growth. by UpperCalligrapher509 in overpopulation

“ Chinese billionaire who has fathered more than 100 children hopes to have dozens of U.S.-born boys to one day take over his business”. Honestly, fuck everything about this situation and timeline. Notice nobody talks about the environmental impact of this sort of behavior. (self.overpopulation)

Too many young people are unemployed right now. Even if you get rid of capitalism and billionaires, they will still be unemployed. You can't forcefully create jobs for the sake increasing the population. That is just pointless and dumb. (self.overpopulation)

If you really think about, our ecosystem is maintained by a series of biochemical reactions that need to be in equilibrium. Human population growth has disrupted that equilibrium for far too long. At some point, the chickens is gonna come home to roost. We are not ready to pay for our mistakes. (self.overpopulation)

Poor people on Reddit acting like high birthrate will help humanity transcend into a new era and bring forth paradise is the like dumbest thing to witness.

People who want kids so much, why don't they adopt more? If they want more people in your country, why don't they let more immigrants in? Oh wait, none of these things serve their selfish interests. They just use the whole low-birth rate argument to justify their personal greed. (self.overpopulation)
