Well, when you live in huts like cavemen and your population is very spread out, of course you’re going to be less impactful. Shrinking the population WOULD help, no matter how much you scream about eugenics and fascism. Gonna be downvoted for this, but it’s just my opinion at the end of the day. No need to get butthurt, keyboard warriors.

What an extremely bigoted thing to say. Most of the worlds indigenous people don’t “live in huts like cavemen”. Where they do have poor living conditions, these are usually a product of external colonization and/or forced migrations leaving them in lands hostile to human life. You realize there are still over 6 million indigenous people in the US, right? Almost 500 million worldwide.

Yeah, shrinking the population would totally help, if we shrank the population starting at the top.
