The thing I keep finding the most emphasis on is "this world can feed all these people". Well... This may be correct if things aren't run that ineffectively as they're now, if most foods don't get transported over to Europe or North America just because over there's the biggest profit to make. But, the question I keep putting to myself in this is: What about all other life except for humans? Never got to hear a plausible answer to this. And that's what I figure nobody has an idea about because the big ideologies who circulate around the well-being of all humans only care about the problems and the well-being of these. All other life, they didn't rack their brains about previously inside that filter bubble.
Saying, there is a difference between a felt overpopulation problem that humans keep coming back to every few decades or hundred years and which they answer with killing each other - and there is, meanwhile, also a factual problem of human overpopulation on the planet. Which has nothing to do with "the right" or "the wrong" kind of humans being alive and sucking up too many resources in one place and eating up all other humans' wealth (what most people associate if you put the topic on the table).
I don't know how describe this... It's like even the left is deeply afraid of admitting they're slave of this anthropocentric worldview, or like they're afraid of catching a bad public image just because by making parts of the right rheotorics "theirs". Even if it is for a different reason than these have them.
