    Whoa, wanting less people via having fewer kids isn’t eugenics, it’s wishful thinking. I don’t subscribe to the idea of forcing people to have fewer kids.

    Edit: I can see how it sounds like I am advocating for eugenics in my earlier post. I will update it.

      Thanks.

      Absolutes with a goal for a future population often appeals to a specific group that I can’t stand who appeal to it “being necessary” but often leave themselves out. So I try to push back on it so they know it’s not acceptable to take seriously. It’s just not an answer.

      I know it doesn’t go over well in these communities but I don’t care. If even it pops up in the back of their head when thinking about “what helps” I want counter words there to say hoping for death of nearly everyone is miserable even if it’s an “easy” out for suffering.

      Thanks for being able to recognize it as wishful past missed conservation.
