Probably because population control threads so often devolve into eugenics.

Probably because population control threads so often devolve into eugenics.
- nawgz 5y agoSure, and Capitalism devolves into late-stage regulatory-capture wealth-inequality race-to-the-bottom massive globally scaled abuses of both people and the planet. To propose that we just simply have to let "capitalists" fix the solution they have wrought is facile at best, and honestly strikes me as clearly malicious when in the same breath it is implied regulation and policy are the the enemy.
- IntrepidWorm 5y agoI completely agree with you there. Capitalism got us into this mess- it's naive to think it will get us out of it. I was just pointing out that population control is a bit of a "knife's edge" discussion: there are ways to discuss it that don't devolve into eugenics.. But most arguments inevitably do.
