I have a theory that if we just had magical powers of mind control we could make the world perfect.
That’s what this shit sounds like to anyone with a brain. I don’t get why people fall for this libertarian garbage about population.
capped the population
Unless you have magical mind controlling powers you can do this through positive or negative incentives.
Negative incentives (fines for having more children) just creates a class structure of rich people having more children. And eventually fails to slow down the population.
Positive incentives are entirely ineffective. People that want to have kids are gonna have kids.
Neither of these work. And especially don’t work long term. It’s why China ended it’s “one child policy”. A policy that they mostly regret implementing and it’s side effects are still causing issues to this day.
Or, the other alternative is - being a Nazi. Deciding who gets to reproduce and with who. Forcing abortions or chemical castration on the population. That method definitely works!
So, the next time you find yourself talking about “population limits” I want you to actually think of how that would be successfully implemented. Because it is ALWAYS devolves into Nazi shit.
It’s one of those dumb guy “common sense” ideas that actual Nazis try to spread. The “too many people” part always starts with first removing the “undesirable” people in the population.
Just get this “too many people” talking point out of your brain. Unless you want Nazis - there isn’t an actual way to obtain any type of “population cap”.
And there is no reason to even mention it when all it’s doing is presenting Nazis as a “solution” to a fake problem.
It would be a fun experiment though, wouldn’t it? It seems to work out fairly well in the examples we do have. Smaller communities foster more union and awareness.
