I would argue that feudalism stopped existing due to variety of factors, like economic and technological innovations, increased literacy and so on. It's not one simple thing.
And in that regard liberalism doesn't seem to be any more immune to any potential changes of the future. Of course this is speculative, but I wouldn't claim that it's the "final" form/system/ideology of government. It's like pretending that you can know far future.

Abortion would be an incredibly ineffective means of population control since even with targeted advertising, it’s mostly random and not done in great enough numbers to ensure any major population shifts.
It’s retarded anyone believes this idea considering they could just dump some sterilizing agent in the food or water and nobody will notice until most of the local population is sterile.

It wouldn’t. Most people wouldn’t care and just get mad on Twitter, before doing nothing.

Restriction on the access to resources from the external can be enacted.

It didn't. Even if the thesis statement stuff about food running out was completley wrong, the most important concept is the aesthetic conceit: population control is good because a huge human population is obscenely UGLY. There is no reason to have eight billion of us scuttling around on this ball. As the most extreme, obvious and visceral(ly disgusting) example, there is absolutely no good reason for 1.6 bn Indians. But the same observation is also true of every other racial group.

What is lamentable is that everyone seems to have completely abandoned the idea of population control, or of even maintaining the population at an aesthetically decent level, instead stupidly rushing headlong into ever greater numbers in search of money and competition. China, to its credit, once seriously and CONSCIOUSLY made a point of maintaing its population with the One Child Policy, a salutary and highly praiseworthy policy which they've since abandoned. The wrongfully destroyed Georgia Guidestones, a monument that ought to be completely and exactly reconstructed right on the very spot where it was bombed, had the right idea (maintain population under 500 million), but I would go one step further: the human species ought to be capped at 200 million, the pre-industrial and historically normal number, and maintained there in perpetuity.

>Resources being finite really makes conservatives piss and shit themselves.
And yet leftists constantly pretend like resources, housing, public infrastructure and opportunities are limitless with how much they spread any western nation's asshole wide open to be completely flooded by 3rd worlder dindus who feel entitled to suckle off of a high trust society's teat because they think being immigrants and minorities that they're oppressed in the country they actively chose to came to, in an intellectual sleight of hand.
Rightoids should be mass deporting as a base line, and then imprisoning leftists and forcing them to do menial manual labor for their completely ass retarded policies for the last 50 years in the west.
No, good jobs are finite, mass importing workers isn't going to fix the economy, and immigrants and minorities aren't entitled to the cream of society. The ONLY place it's sorta-kinda applicable is the US, and that's mainly reserved almost unquestionably for Native Americans.

The basic underlying premise is that birthrates are a problem where feminism hasn't touched, feminism keeps them in check. Its no wonder Shulamith Firestone was such a big fan of the book. But the thesis couldn't actually state that outright and just said that overpopulation is a global problem to avoid coming off as racist. Both Firestone and Ehrlich were both jews. So yeah.

It's more so giving priority resources to Natives rather than giving it to every other minority who claims discrimination because they're not making six figs instantly. In fact I think discrimination is completely bullshit in modernity, and if it's so bad, why does every non-western scrambling into the west and then crying like children about discrimation. It's like the animals in the wild learning that if they pretend they're hurt with a limp, humans will feed them, and then they run off instantly. Taking advantage of high trust societies and the naive empathetic.

True, and I think resource management and logistics are made to be profitable over efficiency wise. There's a few farming (local farmers) YT channels I've watched and farming alone could be improved. Planting crops that do better regionally, and not farming in places like Arizona. Drip line systems to be more water efficient, etc. Same with logistical lines and rebuilding up railroads and highspeed rail around the US, which is a whole rabbit hole of previous corruption and inefficiency for profit sake. Also, there shouldn't be cities in the desert, same with fucking manicured lawns in the desert like Phoenix, AZ or other parallel like cities.

Malthus was already spouting the similar retardation more than two centuries ago. By the way Paul Ehrlich had a daughter (he later got a vesectomy but still made a kid). Malthus himself had three kids.

Even if you disagree, you should privately entertain the possibility that the women might be right, even if only as an experiment. Not everything is about you.

Basically, women are correct that the overwhelmingly large majority of men are unattractive. The problem is that men do not also see the same truth that the overwhelmingly large majority of women are unattractive, and simply rut with whatever they can get. This should be made to stop. There is no valid justification for poor taste, least of all something as ultimatley unimportant and insignificant as the continuance of the human species.

This.
Most of the overpopulation and population booms are in literal 3rd worlder hell holes and they come scrambling up to parasitize on the west.
At the same time, the west has been demoralizing their own citizens from having children for like the past 20 to 30+ years. If not too, of evidence of outright manipulating the economy to make it harder to have children.
But you can have swarms of hordes of fucking tens of thousands of low quality men in a day in giant caravans as sub-educated, hostile and sub-suited to the culture and society, and import them in. While doing nothing, or criticizing nothing about the countries breeding these rando hordes of men.
But gotta make sure you shame your own populations from starting families, and have the venomous vipers of feminism call motherhood oppressive, break up the nuclear and extended family apart, demonize and devalue a father's role in a family, and then import swarms of brown unwashed swarms, to replace the high quality families that could of been started.
>>
>>25454405
Well there were many changes to that end, and it is moreorless favoured in media. And in some countries policy of forced sterlisation and easy access to abortion were explicitly for population control. But I wouldn't say it's actively happening now, just the path we've taken is coming to fruition.
>>
>>25455999
Actually I have a dad who's very present in my life. Women don't decide the worth of a man because they're not men themselves. But many people nowadays think that gender is a spectrum so it can justify shitty opinions like your own.

Dude, as early as the early to mid-2000s they've been pushing overpopulation on the West. Same with climate change and then making the leap connection of, "too many people = climate change = bad". So have less children, and they took that shit to heart as a civil-religion in the west.
All the population booms are happening in non-western 3rd worlder hell holes.
>Unless you mean that people not having children is a goal this is blatantly false. No one had an iPhone in 2007. Everyone does now.
But social media, the internet and smartphones are just branching tools for MK Ultra type subliminal messaging, if not outright propaganda fuckery.
Spam every woman on tik-tok with dancing roasties talking about how all men are scum and work is freedom type 1984 thought manipulation fuckery.
They've literally said shit like "having white children is racism/racist". And dumb white women, and effeminate onions-drenched white men eat it up too since their fetishistic okiophobiacs-cucks.
