Most problems would simply not be a problem if we drastically reduce the human population. Which would not only avoid the issues caused by climate change but also would prevent further increases in pollution and CO2 emissions.
I don't know why the best solution is often the less talked about. Just stop having so many children. We don't have 70% infant mortality rate like we used to, there's no need to have 4 kids to preserve your legacy.
Ignoring the genocide-apologist trend, the pandemic did wonders to reduce global warming.., perhaps start taxing more the companies that force back-to-office when they could clearly keep most of their work force at home?
What genocide? Just sensible reproduction. There's two options. 10 billion people living miserably like during the pandemic. Or maybe 1 billion people being able to live good lives.
So who should go? You?
I’m pretty sure he said have less children, not start death camps.
I literally said just having less children.
And I'm totally ok to only having between one or zero children myself.
China tried it, didn't go too well... good luck trying it on a global scale...
Chinas problem was also a still very uneducated and traditionalist populace, that insisted on having boys as heirs. Leading to abortions or straight up murder of female infants. That wouldn't really be a global issue I beleive
Derived problems were product of a sexist society should be avoidable, you know, ending sexism...
Or are you supporting that people should be able to want male babies over female ones?
Oooooh, of course, how could i forget? Blame the cis white male and the patriarchy, or course!
Literally the only big problem with china one-child policy, was that sexist parents were practicing selective abortions to ensure that they get one male kid.
No sexism = no problem
