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 work for Kroger and they do this all the time.

Yet they will also sponsor Zero Hunger Zero Waste which is so hypocritical.

Societies across the world typically put profits over people and only care about people when there's some money to be made. So many people go without bc others want all the food, clothes, land etc and are greedy af.

Building cities vertically instead of sprawling them out needs to happen more, esp bc I don't want to see wildlife etc be ruined to accommodate our billions of people. I'm glad that as countries get more developed, populations tend to decrease bc we don't need to keep on growing like that imo.
