I'd go further. Take a look across the globe at every advanced, industrialized country that is reasonably free. You will find that population growth in all of those countries has effectively stopped if you eliminate immigration. In fact, in some countries, (Japan is a great example), population is actually decreasing at an alarming rate. If these morons really were "environmentalists", they'd be pushing policies of freedom and free enterprise to bring the shitholes of the world up to our standards of education, prosperity, and liberty because only prosperous and free people have the luxury of giving a damn about the 'environment'.
Western-style prosperity would really be a two-fer for the Gaia worshipers, as they'd be able to recruit more folk to their religion, and also the population of the planet would finally stabilize, and most likely decrease significantly, thus putting less 'stress' on poor old Mother Earth.
Funny how this is the exact opposite of what leftists actually support. Every leftist policy is one that will stifle the human need for both personal and economic liberty.
Agree entirely. Also, behind all leftism, there are always the narcissistic self-promoting activists and politicians who are drawn to leftist politics, because leftism affords them the best opportunities to prop themselves up as messiahs and world savers - all the while ignoring and trampling on the liberty of other human beings. These are among the most selfish POS you can find in the world (think Hillary).
