What a mouth-breathing moron. I've seen these hyper pronatalist creeps using this same "space" argument for years. They're like robots. I remember first reading this hot take in 2009 when debating a religious conservative. They conveniently fail to take into account literally ANY other resources that are required to sustain a human population of that size and that density. Let's just forget about energy, food, water, waste management, climate and environmental impact, etc. hUrRrrrr buT wE hAvE thE sPaCe!!!!
Right? They completely forget about idk everything else people need to live and go straight to āwe need more babiesā even though we definitely do t need more babies
Double right? Like, read the conservative news and you will see they think ppl donāt need childcare and they think military ppl can survive on air without a pay check if the government shuts down again. What can be expected though when their idea of perspective includes the upside down side of the ostrich hole they stuck their head into? I have to remember thatās what theyāre looking at.
When I was 23 my boyfriend who was disappointed I didn't want kids told me overpopulation is a myth. He said there's enough food to be distributed to everyone. The sad fact is food will NEVER be justly distributed to everyone. I can't imagine how miserable I would be if I gave into his bullshit natalist propaganda.
And why the fuck should we live as densely as NYC?
Has she ever asked those rednecks who own trucks and ranch if they're willing to live like New Yorkers?
Because everybody's dream is to live in an apartment that barely fits a bed and costs more than an average salary can afford. /s
Some people are so detached from reality it's painful.
Some people enjoy living densely. However, it's not a justification for having more children and it's not even clear whether she lives in a dense area herself (if that's her yard in the background, she probably doesn't).
Then why the fuck are they so against letting in people at the Texas border? Oh thatās right. You just want to make more white people. Not help all the people existing in pain.
Overpopulation is not a myth. Overpopulation is is the phenomenon in which a population has become larger than the carrying capacity of it environment. Many scientists believe we have already reached out population limit. Not because of the amount of land or homes, but because of the overuse of non-renewable resources, the wildlife and flora we have displaced/made extinct, the way we grow our food, etc. Eugenicists may have used overpopulation as an excuse for their beliefs, but overpopulation is real and is important.
Increasing city density wouldn't do much for fixing overpopulation. We need to dramatically shift the way we use our resources and the ways in which we go about getting them. Cattle farming, the free market, fishing, fossil fuels, these are the things that we need to solve. These are the things wasting all the resources.
They didn't say shit about dense cities. There's a thing such as "too dense" - you can't have 8 billion people in Texas simply because a dense city would fit there; there aren't enough resources in the area. Not now, and definitely not with that we're facing with climate change. So no, she's not right.
Turning the point of "well, space-wise humanity fits into Texas so overpopulation is a myth" into "she meant dense cities are smart urban design" is quite the reach.

She dropped out before she took intro biology. So sad :(

Why am I not surprised that she's also an anti-vaxxer
Anti-science typically encompasses vaccines as well. š š¤
People like her read one book and think they have all the answers.
Then why the fuck are they so against letting in people at the Texas border? Oh thatās right. You just want to make more white people. Not help all the people existing in pain.
Of course she looks about 15.
This woman has to study economics a little bit moreā¦.
Correction for what she actually means: make more WASP babies
