    It’s a dog-whistle: recognizable but deniable.

    If you scratch the surface, you’ll find that the people screaming about population as an issue are selling the lie that there is a population problem at all.

    Why? The standard package: racism, control and greed.

      I’m disgusted with neo-Malthusianism and all of its forms. The more we read about the Indian and Chinese population controls, the more we become horrified about how those were conducted and who were pushing such programs.
