The world is not overpopulated

Overpopulation is a myth that's been going around since the dawn of eugenics since the entire point of it is to reduce the number of undesirable people and the undesirable people for some reason, are never of European extraction.

There is enough food, power, and materials for everybody. We live in a post-scarcity world. If a warehouse full of food cannot be sold, that food will always be thrown out rather than donated. We sprawl out our cities rather than build them up because there is so much space. Our arable land is used for luxury goods and meat.

We will literally go to another country, train and fund killers to put dictators in charge, the dictators let our corporations buy all the land, and then that land is used to grow luxury goods the locals barely see a dime from and never get to enjoy. Then we complain about them having too many kids.

If the population of the earth was half of it was right now, the amount of hunger in the world would be the same.

I'm in the middle on this. From a resource perspective, you're right. On the other side I think we are in an overpopulated state in terms of room for us and the rest of the Earth's inhabitants along with increased diseases and other negative aspects that come from crowding.

That said I don't think there's a need for a human solution. Nature and human nature specifically will kinda work it out. The trend of lower birth rates in many populated parts of the globe being a sign of that
