  Nononono, you don’t get it: looking at the past 4+ governments, I think they want to increase the birth rate of the right people.

  I was so naïve back when had I thought the Labour would be any different from the Tories…

    If they wanted to increase the birthrate if already wealthy people they wouldn’t remove the 2 child cap for benefits.

  So you want to remove half of the population, like Thanos?

    I mean, Thanos’ plan may have been popular if he used the infinity stones to reward mothers for limiting their children, using societal pressure and other tools to limit populations for a generation.

    I want to passivle watch half of them die while not replacing them. Huge difference.

    Whenever population control is mentioned, this inevitably comes up. No, not looking to “remove” anyone, just prevent more births than the natural environment can handle.

    2/3. gives you an extra generation before things are back where they were

      Or just limit1 baby per couple, same effect. Population halves every life cycle

        Better ensure perfect women/men equality before doing that, otherwise it leads to a big gender disbalance and high infanticide rate for girls, as was demonstrated in China.
