>>20587657I never understood why the "elites" (whether they be corporate CEOs, politicians, bureaucrats, etc.) would purposefully want to wipe out massive swaths of the human population, which is what they're doing with every new insane policy they push.
My only conclusion is that they are literal Malthusian Cultists that believe the only way to save humanity is to wipe out 80% of us. Their worldview is literally Thanos.
Even if you were an evil, power-hungry psychopath, wouldn't you still want humanity to flourish? I'd rather be an "elite" in a world where humans are technologically advanced and seeding the galaxy, instead of some dystopian hellscape where the population is capped at 500 million and innovation stops because of totalitarian insanity and weird cult beliefs that follow some moron's writings from the late 1700s.
As a side note, Elon Musk is right. We all need to be pumping out like 5+ kids.
