      Overpopulation is a eugenicist talking point. In reality we have more than enough food and shelter for everyone, but our exploitative global order conspires to keep people hungry and broke. Be mad, of course, but be mad about unfettered capitalism instead of the overpopulation Boogeyman.

        As a diehard scientific facts person, ‘Global Warming’ & diversity disappearing through other non-companion & non-our species Beings going into extinction & ‘Overpopulation’ has to be dealt with, as everything is interconnected & ‘Overpopulation has huge bonds, if The Living Earth & All Living Beings, including us are going survive the threat of extinction. & I agree with that part of your reply, but substitute global order with ‘Capitalist’ or should I now be using ‘Feudalist’!

        The reason I disagree is right in my description of myself- diversity disappearing through other non-companion & non-our species Beings going into extinction & ‘Overpopulation’ has to be dealt with, as everything is interconnected & ‘Overpopulation has huge bonds, if The Living Earth & All Living Beings, including us are going survive the threat of extinction.

        Far, far & far too many members of our modern & 1st world people are only caring about OUR SPECIES & IT’S Survival! If that was not true then the above would never be happening at record speed. As my username here says, I put myself on the line for other Beings’ Rights, including the Right to survive. Thus too many people in the world & even worst affect too many people in areas of this world, ‘Overdensity’ are also the problems! Your (& plenty others, would dangerously guess a major of our species) lack of caring about that also dooms all The Living Earth & All Living Beings & is a former of greediness!
