(692 posts)and overpopulation bullshit flows downhill on a very slippery slope into very dark places. You are blaming the victims. Nobody asked to be born on this rock and you or anybody else doesn't get to decide who is worthy to stay once they're here. You are preaching the Malthus parable, the convenient excuse for "enlightened" elitists who can't let go of capitalism and continue to blame the masses and the victims for the debasement, hoarding, and destruction of natural resources on the planet instead of putting the blame where it lies. Much easier than even thinking about making a stand against the scourge on the human condition and the planet that is global capitalism and overproduction for greed rather than need. How convenient to take the easy way out and blame the people. It is of course, the last refuge of capitalist reactionaries who don't want to organize and fight to put an end to human misery on this global capitalist shit hole.
Are you two part of the chosen elite and ecologically enlightened who get a boarding pass into your Malthusian fantasy land ? If not, maybe you can offer yourself up as a self-sacrifice for the great depopulation cause as an example of your solidarity with your fellow suitably enlightened depopulation followers. If that's not enough, you could also talk to your local new age astrologer and figure out how to reincarnate yourself as an edible sustainable plant seeing your so much more enlightened and one with nature than your fellow proles.
And as a side note. No, humans don't suck, but your overpopulation arguments certainly do.
