For fucks sake dude, literally every time this sentiment comes up someone points it out: who decides who is the best and who is the worst? Your idea of who is worthy of reproducing and who isn't is just as subjective as any nazi's. Why should you get to decide whether I can have kids, and who would give you that authority?
That's a point that we AGREE upon. I feel like me saying it feels icky and acknowledging the awful history of eugenics was just ignored. This isn't a global famine sized problem yet, but when it is, and this conversation is forced upon us, then what? If you agree that overpopulation is a looming problem, what solution do you propose?
You acknowledged the awful history, and then proceeded to ask why we shouldn't do it again.
I personally don't agree that overpopulation is a problem we need to try and solve. If overpopulation kills people, let it. We won't go extinct. It's not our place to try and solve a self-correcting problem by deciding whose human rights we should violate.
