No. Deliberate mutilation is morally wrong.

Have no children and import millions of Muslims.

Self imposed genocide.


Exactly. Stop reproducing, but import millions of third worlders.

This is stupid.

Hard genocide=murder

Soft genocide=population control

I do think any sort of genocide, by anybody, against anybody, is hate crime.

The Richelieu/David Goldman solution, “feeding into the meat-grinder a quarter to a third of the enemy’s available manpower” as a premeditated intentional thing, is murder in itself.

But what does it profit one to gain the whole world. and lose his soul?

The population control argument has been used for decades.

What these fools (the true believers) don’t realize is that people are themselves resources.

Here is an old reply on the subject of overpopulation which I know you have seen before. In no way should this reply be construed to be in support of abortion which I oppose without reservation.

The population of the United States has doubled in my father's lifetime and redoubled in my lifetime. This is not an arithmetic but an exponential rate of growth which cannot be sustained for very many more generations, this business about every living soul standing on a square meter of unproductive sand in Texas to the contrary notwithstanding.

My concern about exploding population is not offered out of Hobbesian theories of want but out of real fears concerning liberty. Even assuming we are theoretically capable of feeding billions more people, are we actually able to do so as a free people operating in a free market in a free society? Or are the leftists right when they say that the problem is too much freedom and not enough organization? Are we populating ourselves into a statist dystopia?

Nathan Bedford's Maxim: the more population density, the less liberty.

Look about you and consider how the left has compressed our liberties in the last three quarters of a century. Think of the strictures placed upon you for the environment. For example, it is no longer legal to burn a wood stove in parts of California. It is now the federal government that tells you as a rancher in Wyoming whether you could have a pond out back for geese and ducks. Your ability to charge rent in your New York City apartments has been controlled for decades by the government because of overcrowding. Your right to shoot a deer has been severely restricted and regulated and taxed. Your right to shoot a deer or a bear may have been entirely eliminated and there are no resemblance to the America of my forefathers who actually went hunting with Daniel Boone. The size of the toilet you flush and the bulb with which you illuminate the darkness is no longer a matter of choice.

The list is endless, indeed there is virtually no area of your life that is not currently regulated by the federal government or the state government and much of that is justified by the need to protect your neighbor from you. You also want the government to protect you from your neighbor, that is why we have zoning ordinances for example. All of these things come with density of population. A density of population which we might be able to feed but can we endure? Can we endure as free men? Can we feed them as free men?

Against this we have the inherent liberty to have children. Because one regards overpopulation as a threat to liberty does imply he also condones curtailing the liberty to have a family. Conversely, nor does it imply in any way that we should condone abortion. Perhaps we ought not to subsidize more children, but if you think we should, even as we do, perhaps, if we wish to be consistent, we should subsidize an unlimited inflow of immigrants?

The hordes rushing into Europe ought to give us pause before we blandly dismiss the downside of overpopulation.

This is crazy. The Brits are not even close to having enough children to maintain their population and economy as it is. The entirety of their population growth is from immigration, mostly from the Third World, where larger families are still standard. Why don’t these crazy leftists ever mention that? One would think their real problem is only with foreigners, because the Brits are already hardly having any children—except for the fact this is all just propaganda waged against Western Civ (as you noted) and doesn’t really have anything to do with general population control or the environment.

It’s the Muslim invaders who are popping out kids as fast as they can. It’s not the native UK citizens.

The Muslims are doing this everywhere they have been taken in as “refugees” and will eventually outnumber the native populations and rule the governments.

"It's okay when we do it [to the 'right' people]," seems to be the slogan of today's "conservative."

Or one might say, "The Death Eaters are in the house."
