For reasons I don't understand, people seem to be incapable of separating any discussion of overpopulation from racism and eugenics. I think it's at the point where it's disingenuous, willful, or at the very least a massive blind spot in people talking about the problem. You should understand that bad people can embrace overpopulation with bad conclusions, and that should not taint reality. Hitler was an animal lover - does that mean it's wrong to love animals? That's the level of flawed argument we're dealing with here.
Jfc...
It's because they're fucking inseparable, you not understanding why or how (never mind being as wilfully ignorant as you are since you clearly didn't read word in the links I posted) doesn't change that
Let me copy pasta myself for the sake of anyone who actually wants to learn more before I leave this dumpster fire:
Well that was a totally reasonable response from someone who is totally capable of considering the merits of an argument without relying on bad articles trying to drum up weak support for the author's preordained conclusion with circular reasoning. Nothing to see here folks. This guy has it all figured out and we should totally worship his correctness without debate.
IMO the only myth is the belief that it's a myth. The evidence is overwhelming.
