btw yeah overpopulation is complete bullshit. Malthusianism was disproven a looong while ago. developed countries actually consistently suffer with population aging. (where the average age of the population keeps increasing) problem isn't a shortage of resources but rather distribution. we have enough food to feed everyone on the planet, it's just that most of that resource and wealth is hoarded. (or just thrown out, because that's capitalism. we need to be constantly producing stuff, and there's always an excess that can't all be imported to markets.) and even if the theory was valid, the "solutions" people suggest, such as Malthus's suggestion of straight up just killing poor people, tends to be ethically unsound. save your energy worrying about overpopulation and focus more on actual issues like climate change, which can't just be solved by a genocide of Africans
