Why Is Population Growth Seldom Discussed?

151. Parasites who kill their host cause their own deaths.

We aren't much smarter than parasites, really. All in all, humankind has an ego problem. Humans think we are invincible and know it all. It is that superiority complex the human species has that is causing all of this. Mother Earth and the rest of the species are taking the brunt of that, unfortunately.

Most DU humans would rather argue about "good" and "bad" dog breeds, not to mention the fact that about 1/3 of DU is too busy policing the other 2/3 to make sure proper praise and worship is given to the 1%. They outright forbid the rest of us from criticizing their precious 1%. That 1% has the worst superiority complex/ego of all of the human species. That 1% are responsible for 100% of the policies that have contributed to the overpopulation, pillaging, plundering, polluting, and destruction of Mother Earth. None of the rest of us can get policies that we want enacted into laws. Even if we do, the 1% comes back and changes it back to what they want.

The 99% of us are losing the battle and many of us have become nihilistic. It's too late to change anything really. We are too busy just trying to survive the calamities caused by the policies the 1% have foisted on us. Those who are trying to fight the 1% are too busy just hoping not to be tazered, shot, trampled, jailed, or worse. It is a losing battle. In all honesty, we have already lost the battle. Now, the majority of us are just trying to survive this horrid situation.

Personally, I wish people on DU would talk about population control and how to protect the planet, but even when we do, the "pragmatists" come in and tell us how "dreamy" and "idealist" we are.

The truth is that population control will take care of itself. The human species will manage itself into oblivion, along with all other species and the planet too.
