Has anything done more harm to living standards than demographic growth? Homo sapiens has existed for 300 thousand years and it took us up until 1804 to reach one billion humans. Every country since then has seen explosive demographic growth. Migration, pollution, quality and availability of housing, food quality, education quality, public safety and crime, am I right to assume that the worsening of these social and environmental aspects are a direct result of population massively increasing? Even the issue of pensions and lack of healthcare professionals in ageing countries that have low fertility rate and demographic decline is caused by uncontrolled population growth in the past. If state central planning had capped the population at a sustainable number, fertility rates would never drop below replacement level. Countries like South Korea and Italy will not disappear, they will just keep declining until they reach that sustainable number naturally but of course, until then, they will suffer the consequences of going above it in the first place.
We are probably heading to and boom and bust cycle when it comes to population.

Private companies and militaries pollute far more than the millions of Africans, the actual problem is waste and how we design our societies to do the bare minimum in these areas.Look at japan, huge population growth and a much improved living standard compared to America where the population has grown much slower and living standards fell off a cliff despite no longer growing as a population.
You can thank this guyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug> Between 1965 and 1970, wheat yields nearly doubled in Pakistan and India, greatly improving the food security in those nations.>the form of agriculture that Borlaug preaches may have prevented a billion deaths.
>>534473135Over-population is the only problem to ever exist on this planet, all other alleged problems and crises are symptomatic of over-population. Over-population not only refers to exceeding the carrying capacity of a finite habitat, it also refers to certain people and populations who make problems within an otherwise harmonious world. There would be no *insert problem or crisis* if certain populations were fewer in number or didn’t exist at all. ‘This’ or ‘that’ is a “problem” only because these given individuals and/or collectives merely exist. There are too many people in general, and there are one too many people in specific.Populations fluctuate. Perpetual growth is unnatural. A given birthrate is less important than who reproduces and when the people in question reproduce. A low birthrate is not inherently negative so long as homogeneity and territorial integrity are upheld. The right population will settle at an equilibrium with the environment and birth rates will respond in kind.
>>534474391https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequences_of_the_Black_DeathThe great population loss brought favourable results to the surviving peasants in England and the rest of Western Europe. There was increased social mobility, as depopulation further eroded the peasants' already-weakened obligations to remain on their traditional holdings. Seigneurialism never recovered. Land was plentiful, wages high, and serfdom had all but disappeared. It was possible to move about and rise higher in life. Younger sons and women especially benefited. As population growth resumed, however, peasants again faced deprivation and famine.Furthermore, the plague's great population reduction brought cheaper land prices; more food for the average peasant; and a relatively large increase in per capita income among the peasantry, if not immediately, in the coming century. Since the plague left vast areas of farmland untended, they were made available for pasture and put more meat on the market. The consumption of meat and dairy products went up, as did the export of beef and butter from the Low Countries, Scandinavia and northern Germany. However, the upper class often attempted to stop the changes, initially in Western Europe and more forcefully and successfully in Eastern Europe, by instituting sumptuary laws. They regulated what people could wear so that nobles could ensure that peasants did not begin to dress and act as a higher-class member with their increased wealth. Another tactic was to fix prices and wages so that peasants could not demand more with increasing value. In England, the Statute of Labourers 1351 was enforced, which stated that no peasant could ask for more wages than in 1346. That was met with varying success depending on the amount of rebellion it inspired. Such a law was one of the causes of the 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England.
>>534473135Overpopulation is the number one problem
>>534474460Due to depopulation, we finally made progress. The elite are correct. 500 million people is the max limit. And yes it was always the rich upper class supporting overpopulation. Thankfully the current elite are smarter and actively depopulatinf the world with vaccines and toxins in the water and foods and air (chem trails)
>>534473818>Pollute more than the millions of AfricansWhat about humanitarian crises, crime, disease, famine, refugees? It's all compounded by an excess of people.>The actual problem is wasteEven with waste, neglect, greed, market economies, economic liberalism, unregulated capitalism, living standards would still be higher with far fewer people.>Look at Japan, huge population growthWhat? Japan's population has been declining for over a decade while the USA's is still growing and both had explosive demographic growth in the last century. The US population in 1960 was 180 million, it almost doubled since then.

>>534474791>Thankfully the current elite are smarter and actively depopulatinf the world with vaccines and toxins in the water and foods and air (chem trails)That's obviously not how you depopulate the world.
Demographic growth isn’t the problem. It’s how the resources have been managed and walled off.
This is why I've never understood the anons flipping out over FEMA camps. Oh no they're going to kill off millions of society's poorest and least desirable ""people"" what should we do!? Well don't be a useless drain on society and you'll come out even better than before that's what I'll do.
>>534475084???? what do you think happens to resource availability when the population grows?
>>534473135I'm tired of this Malthusian sociology pseud shit. You're preaching to the choir. Humans are done any day now, nothing to do but observe
>>534474666Overpopulation of nonhumans maybe. A problem easily avoided by not feeding them or allowing them into your country.
