    If everyone lived like developed countries we would need even less resources because the birth rate is so low we wouldn’t suffer over population. Also look at how less developed countries dispose of garbage.

    Not denying how some developed countries send their trash to developing countries for disposal on the beaches. Fuck them. CEO’s and politicians responsible need the rope.

      do you really think the population would be allowed to reduce? GDP growth would never be allowed to slow down (or heaven forbid GDP shrink) and right now countries with low birth rates use immigration to fill that gap.

      look at Canada: small birth rate, but aiming for 100 million population by 2100.

      capitalism demands unsustainable growth

        Multiple wealthy countries have put incentives in place to encourage increased birth rates, all have failed. Other than forcibly inseminating women there’s not much they could do.

                Yeah “naive” lol. How many Republicans do you discuss these things with, to find out what Republicans believe.

                  why do I need to talk to the voters to see the policies that they support by voting Republican?

                  it seems like you’re a Libertarian, voting Republican might make sense to you I guess, because Libertarians with critical thinking skills are Left-Anarchists
