Yea, fuck these articles trying to push eugenics. We currently have falling birth rates across the globe yet food production per person is still increasing.

These concerns about overpopulation have plagued public discourse since the fucking 60s and 70s as a distraction from talking about sustainable practices that don't align with the interests of capitalist economics. The problem isn't the size of our population but the structure of our resource production and distribution.

Before we start trying to justify the systemic prevention of human procreation (eugenics) and dictate who can and can't have children, let's fix the fucking wanton waste that we create in the neverending pursuit of fucking profits.
