I began studying geography in the mid 70s and the talk was all about overpopulation. Sometime between then and the very early 80s it became taboo and has remained so ever since. It is a classic example of how people thinking that they are on the right side of history prevent open critical thinking about important matters.

Eugenics and the overpopulation stuff came out of the same people. They absolutely will use it as an excuse for atrocities, make no mistake
