By whom, to what end? It would seem that the only thing several billion people on the planet are able to produce are more human beings, despite having any capacity to care for their offspring or even themselves.

I only said that because there is a CT about the numbers being fudged.

I do know that at just under 350M, tUSA is the 3rd most populated country and we have an overpopulation issue of a certain kind. Hopefully ICE continues to solve that issue, but I fear we were flooded with too many too quickly.

J-shaped (sigmoid) population growth curves are typically followed by S-shaped (logistic) growth or occasionally population crashes. One or more of the population limiting factors (Food Supply, Disease, Competition) will influence stabilization or rapid decline.


Many nations are about to contract in population within the next 10-15 years. China being the big one, but there is a big contraction for us as well as most European nations. Only ones not contracting are 3rd world countries.

Greg Bovino, former deputy director of DHS, believes based on internal evidence available to him at the top of DHS/ICE, there may be as many as 100M illegals present in the US right now.

Just 1/3 of our population. That can't be bad at all.

People wanting to live to close to each other and not have their own farm is causing problems.

The issue is not land area, it's resources in the places people want to live. There's hundreds of thousands if not millions of acres of relatively unusable land across the US

you know the best way to reduce population to the 500 million mentioned on the Georgia Guidestones?

put all 8.3 billion in an area the size of South Carolina

it’ll be down to 500 million in less than a decade

Agreed, but they ignore the fact that whites account for 10-12% of the world's population

Are you really sure there is 8.3 billion people on this planet? Math that. Get back to me.

Looks right to me, what am I missing that you're somehow seeing? Aliens?

People to live, aka populate? Especially out west. All that uninhabited desert land is unlikely to ever get used residentially. It's so dry, hot, barren, and isolated in some places that they can't use it for anything except maybe solar panels.

They mean there are too many white people. That's what they mean.

It's pretty simple. The Bible puts forth the idea that humanity is the crowning jewel of God's creation. The earth exists for people. He said be fruitful and multiply. But those who hate God reject that idea and believe humans are the worst part of the earth. Their desire is to see humanity shrink. Therefore, they create fear porn about overpopulation despite none of those theories holding up over the years. Listen to Bill Gates talk about this. It is truly creepy how much he wants to reduce humanity.
