Is overpopulation a legit problem or just another /pol/ meme?

>>131782156
Africa is over populated by 100%.

demographic is the one true problem.
you don't control demography, you are fucked

It's not a policy problem in Westernized countries (yet), but definitely in developing shitholes that can't manage their populations along with their natural resources

For the individual though, even in Westernized countries high population densities can lead to alienation, depression, apathy, etc

>/pol/ meme
where the fuck did you even seen people claiming stuff about overpopulation here? If anything the only times the topics appears is when people are citing how retarded (((scientific predictions))) can be some times.

I really hope this thread is bait

>>131782156
How is it not?

>>131782156
the problem is that non-whites are breeding too much.

>>131782156
just about every civilized country doesn't have an overpopulation problem
the population explosion is coming from the countries with borderline retarded citizens

>>131782156
All we need to do is get the Chinese to eat niggers. Tell them it's dog meat or something.

that's genius

The origin of this meme at 20th Century (because its inventor was Thomas Malthus) is Club of Rome

Quality vs Quantity


If you're a quantity advocate, sure you can make people have shittier lives so we can all fit together ... but at some point there's no more room, there's a limit. And when we reach that limit, we are all stuck living in room-4-one honeycombs, using public transport, always sharing our space with 50 people that find you worthless, as you find them worthless, because when there are so many people crammed in the same places every god damn second of your life, you're insignificant, and so are they.

Or ... we could just realize the world has enough people. We could have a bit less children, 1 or 2, that we can dedicate time and love more.
Live in big houses, be happy, with private transport of different sorts, consuming our nice share, without scarcity.

The only country which suffer of this problem in Americas is El Salvador.

The Anglos are responsible for all the overpopulation, misery, and wars in the world.

>the apes wouldnt be stomping around the world without anglo transportation and technology
you can thank anglos giving away science and technology to every known monkey on this planet.
if the anglos kept their tech to themselves, the world would remain peasant serfs and underpopulated

the british wanted to civilize the savages. they were wrong then and they are wrong now

Of course it is. After a certain point, it becomes uncomfortable to live in an area because the population density is too high.

This is obvious in places like Bangladesh, but even England has already passed the point of optimal population density.
But the US, for example, is still doing fine overall. It still has lots of nature/forests and stuff.

3rd world countries are the real source of rising birth rates. Once 3rd world countries start turning 1st world, their birth rates will start declining and match the death rate.

>overpopulation

Elq was the last surviving Visitor, the others having given their souls to create life on the planet. Her guardians, the gods, led a war against humanity to both stop them from killing Elq, and to restrict their overpopulation, which was diluting the effect of the Visitors' souls. That effect is what maintained the world as everyone knew it.
Elq had to die because humanity came to understand they needed a Visitor's soul to renew the spell keeping the world intact. They succeeded in making her a corpse, but failed in the process of breaking down her soul. That sealed their fate. The spell broke, and humans reverted to the beasts they once were, and the world was rapidly destroyed.

>>131782156
Afrika produces million niggers per week.

Tell me if that is a problem.

>>131782156

If it isn't now, it eventually will be with automation coming.

People need more than food and shelter. They need a reason to exist.

>>131782954
That is actually good idea and might work, since niggers are already calling each other 'dog'.

>>131782156
Meme, global population by all social estimates and predictions will start to stabilize around 9 billion.

>>131783545
A first world county requires a minimum average IQ of 90. Subsaharan Africa's average IQ is 70. They need about two million years of evolution before they can become first world.

>>131784244
Well, they are given free food and church forbids them from using rubbers.

>>131782388
Africa, China, and India need to go

"Overpopulation" is what they used when Europe's population was still growing moderately due to native reproduction, back in the 1970s.

"Overpopulation" is rarely used anymore in the halls of power now that Europe's population is growing rapidly due to African and Middle Eastern migrants.

That should tell you what you need to know about "overpopulation".

This graph is showing what as a function of time?

How exactly are Population and Food Production relating here?

>>131782156
When we talk about overpopulation most shills want you to think there are simply too many humans on earth, """WE""" need to stop reproducing.

What overpopulation really means that there are too many parasitic people on earth who consume more resources than they produce. For example Africa is overpopulated because it cannot sustain it's population. America and Europe are not overpopulated, because there is plenty of resources to go around. But it will become overpopulated when intelligent people are made not to breed while importing brown genetic waste en masse.

>>131782156
That graph is fundamentally wrong though.

>>131784827
That is the implicit conclusion.

"Overpopulation in region X" means "(((we))) want fewer natives of region X in the world", which is why (((they))) stop calling it "overpopulation" when the population growth in region X comes from migrants from region Y.

All because of evil rapist Hilter GMOs we are able to have high populations.

>>131782156
So population and food production only reach equilibrium during war/famines?

>>131784699
>Europes population is growing rapidly because of migrants

but that's wrong, Europe's population is stable

>>131782156

It's real, but only in extremely overcrowded shitholes like India or soon to be overcrowded shitholes like Africa. Westerners need to be having MORE children.

>>131782156
a meme for retards

Most of the surface area of earth is completely fucking unused
if those areas were dedicated to regular farms, you could effortlessly feed tens of billions, if not hundreds
If you built hydroponic greenhouses on that land, carrying capacity flies into the trillions

seems insane, but go look up the total land area of the planet in square miles, and as a bonus, recall that humans have knocked down islands and built dikes and entire islands for more space

>>131785486
Western Europe grows pretty quickly. I think my own country gains about 100,000 new inhabitants per year for a total population of 17,000,000 now, despite having a total native population of about 13,000,000 that is shrinking.

This is called a malthusian catastrophe where food production only grow geometrically while population grows exponentially.

The theory is that as population increases and our resources become more strained, wars, Famines, and genocide will increase in severity until they reach a malthusian catastrophe. Some people don't believe this because food output has grown a little over geometrically at the cost of the environment and individual freedom, while population also grows exponentially.

But then there is the theory that there is a law of diminishing returns that applies to technological expansion.

>>131782156
population is already stabilizing, the world population won't go higher than 10-11 billions people

Overpopulation of stupid people is a problem.
Genius sperm donors can solve the stupid people problem.

Food production has definitely not been linear, what the fuck.
"World Hunger" has already been solved 2 or 3 times in the past except the courties where people were are are still starving today just took it as a free pass to make more niglets until they were starving again.

It actually has to do with purchasing power of developing world, whereby its more profitable to sell wheat to horse owners in Egypt than to people.
Also lot of those economies in developed countries still are producing lots of colonial farming goods like chocolate, coffee and tobacco,cotton etc. instead of producing foodstuffs for lower profit.

>>131786529
Westerners are just less fit as a species than sandniggers are. Survival of the fittest. We need to accept that we are inferior.

>>131782156
It's a legit problem but the problem is not actually food production, the world could feed 20 billion if it had to, the problem is pollution and waste
