Wtf does that even mean?

Pretending that production for profit and production for need is the same thing is fallacious - end of story.

All I’m trying to do is explain to you that resources are finite and too many people will burn through them.

You still haven't managed to justify the right-wing trope of "overpopulation" - pretending that the vast majority's consumption is (somehow) the problem isn't proving it, merely regurgitating it.

the white people that slowed down the most.

Sooo... you have figured out that in a capitalist society access to women's healthcare is merely another commodity - and, thanks to colonialist pillaging and repression, white people do tend to have more access to that commmodity?

You don't say.

Population projections for the world do not show a decline.

No... it shows a trend towards stabilization - which, just by itself, demoslishes the entire concept of "overpopulation."

Unless of course you take the lack of resources into account…

What lack of resources. Resources being hoarded by a capitalist elite was as true in 1950 as it was in 2023 - so how does that affect the trope you are trying to justify?
