This might be a hot take, but I literally don’t see the problem with population shrinking That does NOT mean I want people to die I just mean that if we see less births, and because of that there will be less people, it doesn’t seem like a problem So many of our issues come from being here with so many. Excess waste, pollution, housing prices getting absurdly high, need of fossil fuels to produce enough energy, traffic jams, unemployment It all would be significantly reduce with less people, wouldn’t it?

Maybe you should leave the earth first with your loved ones or even don't give birth and let your action go with your words. What do you think?

Pretty weird response lmao, this is actively happening, birth rates are under replacement rate but some consider it a big problem Im simply saying I don’t see why it’s a big problem, I also said it didn’t mean I want people to “go” If you have a reason why it is a problem, please come with an argument

Yeah the response was a bit weird and harsh but let me say the issue of population reduction is a sensitive one. I will just say let mother nature take it's course. Not we harming ourselves through the food we eat (GMO), water and vaccines.

Yeah I get that, but it’s not like I’m calling for depopulation, depopulation is happening, and I’m simply giving some reason why that may not be the worst thing in the world for society in the long run Short run it would definitely create some issues, like retirement etc, but in the long run I think it has a benefit for humanities longetivity

Long run I think people will live in loneliness and depression, reason been that there will be lesser people to interact with, don't forget we are not in the stone age where people will gather at the village square to enjoy moonlight stories where families bond.
