Why especially in the US? India, China, and even all of Europe is more densely populated than the US. Why not advocate for eugenics in those countries?

- t-3 4y agoThe US is richer and has higher per-capita consumption of resources. The US as a whole has far greater climate impact, so it makes sense to focus here. I'm also a US citizen who doesn't speak other languages or have the type of money and political influence to be effective in other countries (also, most of them wouldn't even allow me entry if I did, but that's beside the point). I think it would be good if all countries adopted such policies and a forward-thinking vision of environmental responsibility though.
- Minor49er 4y agoThat's awfully arbitrary. Countries like Qatar and Montenegro have higher CO2 emissions per capita than anywhere else in the world, plus a dozen other countries that are ahead of the US. And if the idea is to pay people to quit having kids, why not employ this in poorer countries with greater populations and not the richest like the US? Finally, do you yourself take your own advice? You don't have children and never will, right?
