    I don’t think theres a socioeconomic system that allows 9 billion people to live a modern life on earth without climate change. I vote we renew the USAID program that shipped condoms to the middle east and we make college free for women everywhere, that should about fix it.

    EDIT: And normalize meat only being an occasional meal instead of twice daily.

            Alright, I’ll bite, how is free medical and education (and importantly taxing industry and the wealthy) “whitewashing fascism”?

              Starting from a premise of “There’s too many humans”, blaming a poorer country for having too many children, then cleaning it up with things palatable to the average NYT reader is exactly how they do it.

                The premise is the premise whether you like it or not, pal. You Tankies have been really weird about this issue ever since China, the largest polluter on earth, announced a reversal of their population policies and started promoting growth.

                  Its a fascist premise; Malthus was wrong when he did the same math 200 years ago. Turns out more people can make better use of resources, and the famine he was attributing to population growth and immorality was simply caused by capitalism.
