What are the positive benefits of population control or forcibly decreasing the population of the Earth? Is this just some joke, or are their viable benefits of doing such an action and what effects would they have on the remaining population?

Protip:
>Over population is a meme.
As in, we have enough land, with enough resources, for it work (at the moment). Though, shipping useless fuckers off to Mars wouldn't be a bad idea.
how about this, trump met for 40 minutes (which is a long time in billionaire minutes) with a prominent anti-vaccination supporter. Do you think making the general public believe that vaccines cause outbreaks so that the lower income population doesn't get these vaccines and produces and outbreak causing that population to die off. Population control which they brought onto themselves in theory.

If we did things efficiently (in regards to spacing, infrastructure design and resource usage and management) we could likely triple our current population and still have no one starving or in bad living conditions. With consumerism and current capitalism, then yes, we have too much population to sustain those basics for even 1/5 of the population. Let alone all of it or if it were to increase. We have overpopulation in a way, due to the way our societies and the global economy is set up. I don't know that decreasing the population significantly would do anything except damage these systems and cause the rich to get richer and everyone else to get poorer, though that's happening regardless. It's complicated and interconnected to cultures, societies, economies and the global collectives of these. Either way, the population will reduce as every group continues to develop and modernise. Perhaps in 3-5 hundred years if we refactor how we function as world and start focusing more, we may need to promote having children to keep our population high enough to actually survive or do anything significant, as a species.
