    I mean, it’s the left-wingers who want to increase the level of education for everybody, and that’s one of the things that is shown to slow population growth. It’s the insane population pressures that result in the need for building stuff like that.

      Also projects are not left wing architecture. They’re compromise with shitstain conservatives that will never properly fund a project even if it gets approved.

      Population across the world will start decreasing, fertility rates are all lower than they should be to sustain population. I think the main reason it increased so much is the average life span is high these days with all the advances in medical care.

                I think you may be mistakenly assuming I’m suggesting we outlaw or limit the right to procreate. There are currently people having children who don’t even want to be having them. I’m suggesting governments stop forcing that to happen by allowing people to plan their own families.

                e: I’d also like to add that unending population growth is a capitalist problem. Capitalist governments have to expand the work force or else they can’t maintain growth for growth’s sake. Under a healthier government or anarchy there would be no need to encourage population growth because people who want children would simply have them.

                  Yup, approximately 50% of pregnancies are unplanned globally. The U.S. has a rate similar to the global rate.

                  Focus on preventing unplanned pregnancies. And make being child-free socially acceptable. That’s it. No “eco-fascism” measures needed.
