What's with people instantly becoming malthusians when fertility rates are being discussed? (lemmygrad.ml)

Like, where does this come from? Even people that aren't particularly conservative seem to think that less people = good. Maybe the problem isn't the amount of people but how their needs are met? Yes, the world is finite, but pretending that hunger, homelessness, wars and diseases are in anyway caused by the amount of people on Earth rather than how we deal with those things is as insane as denying climate change.

it's actually a sure thing. replacement birthrate is 2.1 kids. that's simply not happening in a world where women are actually free.
