It’s disturbing, how many people eagerly embrace eugenics and anti-natalism as long as they can cite a left-wing cause like ecology as their reason
How are the two on the same level?
Where did you get the idea that this was malthusian? Hickel advocates for a more efficient distribution of resources, not to cut thr world population in half so gringos can keep their 4 cars and lawn.
Antinatalism is a strawman slur against anyone that questions the viability of infinite growth.
So what is calling anyone who has a child a breeder?
Why are you asking me?
Because I'm curious what your opinion is, and you've made a point of speaking on a very closely related topic.
It's a diversion to another topic. No thanks.
What does antinatalism being a slur have to do with the topic at hand?
It looks to me like that same feeling toward any population concerns are the clear sentiment of the op, even if they don't state it so openly. I guess you didn't see that? No sense trying to beat this to death, we're seeing different things.
Well, it looks like you're seeing two side to this topic and I, and possibly the op, see at least 3.
I thought maybe someone was capable of answering a reasonable question to support their position, assuming they had already read the article. Apparently I have to do that work for them?
Gee, I dunno, maybe everyone having 3 or more kids in the long term will lead to overpopulation issues we cannot resolve even with improved technology.
No it won't. Learn 2 Read.
