    Now please explain how you create a smaller population that doesn’t reek of eugenics, and you’ll see the problem.

    Nazis also wanted a smaller population so that the privileged few that remained could have a higher quality of life.

      Education. People tend to have fewer kids the more educated they become. Give everyone in the world top class educations, and the population will naturally decline.

          The quiver-full people tend to be poorly educated, and tend to fall out of the idea once better educated.

            Im aware but the problem is their super fucking insular when it comes to interacting with other groups. Anything that aint modern regressive christianity they practically hide from.

      That is a disgusting over simplification of what the Nazis did and I’m not even going to bother talking to you if you’re just going to go straight to comparing everything to Nazis with zero nuance.

        All population control is a form of eugenics, and it is not possible to implement as a policy without it AT LEAST disproportionally affecting an “undesired” group. Whether that is racial, GSRM, people with disabilities, or even class.

        Eugenics was the basis of the Final Solution, and should be looked at with disgust. There is no need for nuance when calling the sky blue.

        Sorry if the comparison offended your, but I suggest you think a bit deeper about this. Population isn’t really the problem, logistical and environmental issues from capital are. And population control is a poison pill meant to greenwash abhorrent ideology.
