      Even then, what happens when its not economically viable to use them because of age?

        Sheep will grow wool til they die. Sheep get increasingly gamey tasting the older they get, so most people won’t eat the meat.

          But how can someone bring life into this world if it’s purpose is just to die!?!?

          Homies, that’s the point of every life. It’s why it’s literally baked into our DNA. Our genetics ensure we die on purpose if we live long enough lol.

          The how dare my parents bring a life into this world without my consent meme turned into real position is so absolutely absurd lol.

          The weirdest part is that it’s mostly first world poors and middle-class advocating for the poor and vulnerable to eugenics themselves out of existence lmfao.

          Sorry I was born in poverty in Africa so I guess I’ll just not have children. You had it right all along depressed white folk!

          Even better is that overpopulation has been shown to be full on bullshit for two decades now? Yet people still eat that shit up and want them poors to just suck it up and not have kids. How about we make the rich pay their fair share and quit exploiting them.

            I hope we reach a post aging world someday, where any adult can choose have a healthy kid at any age. I don’t care what genetics or evolution thinks, I want everyone to have access to a decent life. The cruel process of evolution will not be necessary if we can design ourselves. I don’t want poor people to not have kids, and considering that birthrates fall as average income rises, helping everyone live high quality lives would be the best way to combat overpopulation if it was a problem (which it isn’t).

            These white supremacists want to keep brown immigrants from coming to their countries, yet they fail to realize that imperialism and global capitalism is a big reason for both the immigration, and the higher birthrates of us brown people. Shitty conditions, through a variety of mechanisms, lead to people having many kids. More obviously, shitty conditions cause a net positive amount of people to move to areas where things are less shitty. If every county on earth was a comparably prosperous and pleasant to live in, very few people would leave their home countries.

            The biggest way to fix things would be to reduce global economic inequality. We need to squeeze these disgusting amounts of wealth out of everyone who has them, while making a world that works for everyone. Killing the poors cannot work, as the system will always produce more of them until only one person remains. Slavery is the real strategy, and all slaves are morally right in freeing themselves. However, we must not fall into the trap of making new owners instead of getting rid of them.

              Most of the countries are already below replacement fertility levels. Africa is the last continent with a growing population and it will not last long.

        Don’t blame the player. Blame the system. The farmers gotta eat, man. (I don’t mean factory sheep farms, btw. I mean the kind of open farms we have here in Slovakia.)
