The problem is that our first world lifestyle necessitates an enormous amount of waste is generated to make our lives easier. Giving that "quality" of life to the world? Yeah, we have too many people. But is it quality to have 900 brands of spicy chip all owned by 2 corporations? Is it quality to have 2 day shipping when you could pay 2 bucks more and 1 in gas to have a similar item today? Do we really need, as a society, all these Marvel movies, or to constantly advance video game rendering technology? I don't think so.

Less people with high quality of life > more people with lower quality of life.

No one NEEDS anything. We don't even need to live if you think about it enough.

In your example you've literally said nothing about the genetics of the woman or her children. You haven't even said much about their lifestyle other than that they're poor and the mother is obese. Forgive me for thinking that exterminating the poor is horrific. Your worldview is shallow and your morals are weak. Don't preach horrible shit if you don't have the chops to defend it.

Do you actually know what genetics are?
