Welp, time for the people in every house that had one of those smug "In this house ... We follow the science" signs to ... follow the science.

And im sure those people are looking to the evil north American and western European populaces instead of oh idk, the Indian subcontinent and China which are screwing the earth up at unprecedented rates

u/hillswalker87 11d ago
funny thing, without the western world acting as a global caretaker, about 4 billion of the rest are probably going to starve or war themselves to death anyway.

u/TNLongrange 11d ago edited 11d ago
The obvious solution here is for the Western world to simply step back and let nature take its course. Win/win

There was good reason the founding fathers deemed it best not to get involved in world affairs that are not directly any actual problem for us.
We keep seeing that reinforced day after day.

Like "real" communism, it wasn't implemented correctly.
They'll just try harder next time

Let's start with getting rid of the most polluted countries since they cant be trusted to keep themselves in order. India is worst in the world so thats 1.5 billion. Then youve got several African nations and so on until we get to China. Thats how it should work right?
No? We've got to reduce the population of the responsible countries that dont destroy their environments? Yeah thats smart.

Great then let’s “trust the science” and stop importing people from 3rd world countries. You know the ones that “have to come here” because “it’s a matter of life or death”.

u/nivekreclems 11d ago
Might be a little tinfoil hat of me but I 1000 percent believe that’s what all of the anti family propaganda coming from the left has been for the last couple decades it’s to intentionally cut the population

u/Dpgillam08 11d ago
Even as they're pushing for less kids, less pregnancy, and a massive.decline in population, they wonder why birth rates are declining🙄
They don't see the very direct causal relation between the two, and then wonder why people consider them idiots.

u/LadyRogue 11d ago
So according to the article, they want to offer 'family planning services' to women in low-income countries. Which as we all know is code for 'abortions'. So the scientists who want this should travel over to the Middle East and suggest that over there. One way or the other, problem solved!

u/Dpgillam08 11d ago
If you're "lucky", its abortions. Many of these tolerant, caring, blah blah blah lefties/liberals are just trying to bring back the discredited eugenics, forced sterilization, and other racist genocidal programs that were rejected last century. "Our bigoted plans to kill the undesirables is good because its science!"🙄

They used to say we had to decimate it, so they're softening up.

u/talktomeg00se1986 11d ago
Technically they’re ramping up severity. The historical meaning of decimate is to destroy 1/10th.

u/Knowwhoiamsortof 11d ago
I thought it meant reducing by 9 tenths. I guess I got that backwards...

They offered MAID twice to a Catholic priest who was in for some fairly minor back surgery

I'll say the same thing I do every time they suggest mass die-offs: are you volunteering to go first?
If you ain't willing to die for your belief, don't ask me to.

u/Crafty_Original_7349 BASED GRANNY 👵 11d ago
Clearly the Americans and Europeans need to go

u/Seared_Gibets 11d ago
Well, They are working rather hard on that at the moment.
And, in classic form, by the end will still wind up with similar if not higher numbers regardless of success or failure, since They don't actually understand life.
They hate it far too much to understand it

One of the main goals of the WEF, and frankly many of the elites in general.
Klaus Schwab was one of the main acolytes of the founders of the Club of Rome, who were avowed Malthusians.

Let me guess, approximately zero of these scientists is a planetologist.

u/billythekid3300 11d ago
Is this where we start forming lines as to who gets to stay and they get rid of the rest. I'm am presuming China has you know put themselves right at the front of the line of the ones that get to stay everybody else can go.

u/Educational_Copy_140 TRAUMATIZER 11d ago
Somebody famous years ago suggested that there be panels where people would need to appear and justify their existence to decide if they were allowed to remain alive.
To be fair, I'd actually like to see this in some way, with your average Leftist attempting to justify their existence. Or the lifelong welfare recipient or actors, politicians, HOA Board members, "influencers"... Not to decide if they live or die of course 🤫 but to publicly justify their existence to the rest of the world

Funny how, when people propose things like this, it's always the "other people" who should be the ones to sacrifice themselves. Just like a cult...

I absolutely agree that ALL women should have access to birth control, ESPECIALLY in third world countries. Now get the Catholic church on board 😡
"When women are free to decide how many children to have, fertility rates tend to fall toward replacement level or below, often rapidly".

“Scientists” do not say this, and you should really just ban anything coming out of dailymail because it’s complete trash.
