Over population is a problem just because we occupy 10% of the land doesn't mean we should double it to 20%? Do you know how much of the earths biosphere that would continue to chew into? Even if we farm more efficiently it doesn't mean there should be more of us shitting around
It's also just wrong, humans use half of all habitable land for agriculture alone. Unless everybody moves to Antarctica doubling it would result in destroying literally all of nature.
Yeah exactly I'm not sure if this person has ever looked at a map before but we use alot of land not just for habitation, even if we halved the size of every farm its just not it
My theory is
and I could be wrong, maybe it's just a couple of weirdos,
but my theory is it's another Tankies psyop trying to convince people that "overpopulation is a western conspiracy to reduce the number of non-whites" or some shit. It would make sense given China's sudden promotion of population growth being criticized as well as their immediate allies like Iran backsliding women's rights and education (the core pillars of reducing population growth).
After arguing with them in here for awhile I got 15 notifications of being banned from communities.
Ok then, use a buttplug and never take it out.
That way, you won't be shitting anymore.
